Autoimmune gastritis (AIG), a type of chronic atrophic gastritis, is characterized by positive anti-parietal cell antibodies and mucosal atrophy predominantly in the corpus. In Japan, AIG has garnered increasing attention owing to recent decline Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection rates, leading proposal diagnostic criteria. These criteria encompass serological test results, endoscopic findings, histological emphasizing need for collaboration between endoscopists pathologists make an accurate...
Background and AimsWe aimed to determine the optimal timing of colonoscopy factors that benefit patients who undergo early for acute lower GI bleeding.MethodsWe identified 10,342 with hematochezia (CODE BLUE-J study) admitted 49 hospitals in Japan. Of these, 6270 underwent a within 120 hours were included this study. The inverse probability treatment weighting method was used adjust baseline characteristics among (≤24 hours, n = 4133), elective (24-48 1137), late (48-120 1000) colonoscopy....
: Nutritional factors associated with gastric cancer (GC) are not completely understood. We aimed to determine the effect of nutrient intake on incidence GC.
Abstract Background and Aim The risk factors for early rebleeding following the management of colonic diverticular bleeding (CDB) are unclear. This study aimed to determine initial colonoscopy. Methods Overall, 370 patients with CDB were divided as having presumptive (229) or definite stigmata recent hemorrhage (141) on basis Definite cases treated by either endoscopic clipping (EC) band ligation (EBL) a first‐line treatment. Time‐to‐event analysis was performed Kaplan–Meier methods log‐rank...
Abstract Background and Aims The identification of stigmata recent hemorrhage (SRH) in colonic diverticular bleeding (CDB) enables an endoscopic treatment can improve the clinical outcome. However, SRH rate remains low. This study aims to investigate whether NOBLADS Strate scoring systems are useful for predicting CDB pre‐procedurally via colonoscopy. Methods In this single‐center retrospective observational study, 302 patients who experienced their first episode from April 2008 March 2018...
Endoscopic band ligation (EBL) is used to treat colonic diverticular bleeding (CDB). An endoscopic variceal device for esophageal varices as a conventional EBL (C-EBL). A new (N-EBL) was developed by Sumitomo Bakelite Co. in August 2018. We aimed evaluate the clinical outcomes of N-EBL compared with those C-EBL.Seventy-nine patients who underwent CDB at St. Luke's International Hospital, Japan, between 2017 and 2020 were included this retrospective study. Patients divided into C-EBL groups....
<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Colonic diverticulosis increases with age, leading to a higher risk of colonic diverticular bleeding (CDB) in the elderly. As life expectancy continues increase, need for endoscopic hemostasis CDB elderly can also be expected increase. However, there have been no reports date on feasibility patients. Several recent studies addressed effectiveness band ligation (EBL) CDB. In this study, we evaluate safety and EBL patients compared younger...
The efficacy of transnasal endoscopy using an ultrathin endoscope has been reported in several studies. However, few studies regarding peroral with endoscopes high resolution have reported. This study investigates the pain alleviation endoscope.Patients a history conventional, normal-diameter scope no sedation who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) thin between April-July 2022 were included this study. After procedure, patients completed questionnaire evaluating during examination...
Objective Endoscopic band ligation (EBL) is commonly performed to treat colonic diverticular bleeding (CDB). However, EBL not suitable for other disorders that cause acute lower gastrointestinal (ALGIB), and the safety efficacy of procedure are well known. This study aimed evaluate non-colonic (non-CDB) investigate application ALGIB. Methods was a retrospective evaluation success rate EBL, early re-bleeding (within 30 days initial EBL), complications such as perforation abscess formation....
Abstract Background and study aims The rate of early rebleeding after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for gastric cancer ranges from 5 % to 38 %, despite application preventive methods. Post-ESD may be caused by “invisible” vessels that not detectable using ultrasonographic techniques. Recently, Doppler probe ultrasonography (DOP) has been used in endoscopy. Because little is known about the usefulness DOP decreasing post-ESD rate, we performed a preliminary case series study....
Endoscopic band ligation (EBL), used for the treatment of colonic diverticular bleeding, has a lower rebleeding rate than endoscopic clipping. However, different devices are in Japan and Western countries; no animal studies have been conducted to elucidate safety such devices. We compared two EBL devices, first second countries.The Japanese were by assessing at 40 sites an model with normal colon that is anatomically similar human colon. Macroscopic pathological examinations performed...
Most research on duodenal ulcers has focused bulbar ulcers; details post-bulbar remain largely unknown. This study was conducted to determine the characteristics of patients with depending their location.We a retrospective hospitalized newly diagnosed endoscopy at tertiary referral center in Japan between April 2004 and March 2019. Five hundred fifty-one were extracted for analysis.Ulcers observed only bulbus 383 cases, duodenum 82 co-existing both areas 86 cases. The Bulbar group had less...
Objective A high NOBLADS score reflecting the severity of lower gastrointestinal bleeding contributes to identification stigmata recent hemorrhage (SRH) in colonic diverticular (CDB). The burden colonoscopy is particularly elderly patients; therefore, we investigated utility for managing CDB by age stratification. performance SRH prediction was estimated area under receiver operating characteristic calculation and a multiple logistic regression model. Methods This single-center,...

Studies detailing endoscopic findings and hemostatic interventions for upper gastrointestinal bleeding after cardiovascular surgery are scarce. We conducted this study to determine the frequency of emergent esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) effect requiring intervention on clinical outcomes.We retrospectively reviewed records EGD examinations within 30 days at a tertiary referral center in Japan from April 2011 March 2020. Of 1625 patients undergoing surgery, 47 underwent EGD. Sources were...
