Abstract Colorectal mucosa is targeted by toxic agents, which can initiate or promote colon cancer. The mechanism of damage might be a focal irritation with loss normal epithelial cell barrier function. Genetic alterations in tumors may also affect host inflammatory response. aim this study was to define the extent inflammation colorectal mucosa, along carcinogenesis, and microsatellite stable unstable carcinomas. We collected 103 samples from 65 patients (35 cancer adenoma, 8 bowel...
Anticoagulants are commonly indicated in cirrhotic patients due to high rate of (pro)thrombotic conditions. Low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) is safe with esophageal varices. However, the safety LMWH unknown undergoing prophylactic endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL). To define 4-week risk bleeding and death after EVL continuously treated LMWH.All EVLs performed at a tertiary Italian Center from 2009 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients classified as on-LMWH; remaining no-LMWH....
Despite the increasing use of early esophagogastroduodenoscopy, prognostic evaluation and triage patients who have ingested caustic material is challenging. We evaluated usefulness selected clinical endoscopic parameters in predicting risk death after ingestion substances.Clinical were obtained from records all admitted to our endoscopy unit because between 1 March 1982 30 June 1999. Parameters significantly associated with by univariate analysis entered into a multivariate logistic model....
CASE REPORT Biliary stents migration rate is about 5%–10%, in particular the of plastic biliary stent reported to be up 13.5%. Of latter, proximal less frequent than distal migration, but, when it occurs, often symptomatic and requires endoscopic retrieval.1,2 The risk factors associated with are categorized into patient-related stent-related factors. linked patient's characteristics dilation common bile duct (CBD) (>1 cm), presence benign strictures, if these strictures has been previously...
Introduction. Colorectal non-polypoid lesions (NPLs) are flat, hard-to-detect and mainly right-sided lesions. We aimed to assess the prevalence endoscopic features of NPLs in a large cohort screening patients Northern Italy. Methods. FIT-positive subjects between 50 69 years old who had undergone at least colonoscopy from March 2005 December 2017 Endoscopy Unit Ferrara were included. selected only non-diminutive (>5 mm) neoplastic polyps (i.e.: adenomas, serrated adenomas carcinomas)....
The most appropriate endo-therapeutic approach to biliary anastomotic strictures is yet be defined.To retrospectively report on the endo-therapy of duct-to-duct during 2013 in Italy.Data were collected from 16 Endoscopy Units at Italian Liver Transplantation Centers (BASALT study group).Complete and follow-up data are available for 181 patients: 101 treated with plastic multistenting, 26 fully covered self-expandable metal stenting 54 single stenting. Radiological success was achieved 145...
When treating potentially resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma, therapeutic decisions are left to the sensibility of clinicians who, faced with a decision that post hoc can be proven wrong, may feel sense regret they want avoid. A regret-based model was applied evaluate attitudes toward neoadjuvant therapy versus upfront surgery for adenocarcinoma.Three clinical scenarios describing high-, intermediate-, and low-risk disease-specific mortality after were presented 60 respondents (20...
The delay between onset of symptoms and coronary care unit admission is decisive in the outcome patients with acute myocardial infarction.To evaluate influence factors that affect infarction treatment.Multicenter case-control study conducted by 118 units Italy. median mean times cases controls were compared for decision time, home-to-hospital in-hospital several potential risk on was evaluated comparison admitted more than 6 hours after those within onset.Among 5301 infarction, 590 who came...
Gastritis is an inflammation of the gastric mucosa. In this study, we investigated efficacy a medical device, Esoxx®, based on hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate gastritis-related upper abdominal pain/discomfort endoscopic features. Fifty patients, affected by gastritis, were randomised to receive device or placebo. The primary endpoint was associated with gastritis measured Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). secondary endpoints mucosal erosions, blood oozing, hyperemia (redness)/edema, as...
Background: Helicobacter pylori is strongly associated with peptic ulcer: H. eradication markedly decreases the recurrence rate of duodenal and gastric ulcer, but optimum length antibiotic therapy in still unclear. Aim: To verify effectiveness side‐effect profile an eradicating regimen consisting omeprazole 20 mg daily for 4 weeks and, during first week, combination antimicrobial treatment tinidazole 500 b.d. plus clarithromycin 250 patients active ulcer. Methods: One hundred ninety‐six...
A novel medical device based on hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulphate plus aluminum hydroxide (GERDOFF®, melt-in-mouth tablets) showed efficacy in reducing GER-related symptoms. This exploratory, open-label study evaluated symptomatic effects of a 14-day treatment with GERDOFF® GERD patients.GERD Impact Scale (GIS) questionnaire was filled at baseline visit, after 7 and 14 days treatment; patients' Global Satisfaction the final visit. Primary endpoint reduction heartburn episodes per week;...
