The development of consensus guidelines for obesity is complex. It involves recommending both treatment interventions and related to screening prevention. With so many publications claims, with the awareness that success individual short-lived, find it difficult know what action appropriate in management obesity. Furthermore, significant variation existing service provision within countries as well across regions Europe makes a standardised approach, even if evidence-based, implement. In...
<h3>Background</h3> Peutz–Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is associated with an increased cancer risk. As the determination of optimal surveillance strategies hampered by wide ranges in risk estimates and lack data on cancer-related mortality, we assessed risks mortality a large cohort patients PJS. <h3>Methods</h3> Dutch PJS were included this study. Patients followed prospectively between January 1995 July 2009, clinical from period before collected retrospectively. Data obtained interview chart...
In 2005, for the first time in European history, an extraordinary expert panel named BSCG (Bariatric Scientific Collaborative Group), was appointed through joint effort of major scientific societies which are active field obesity management. Societies that constituted this were: IFSO – International Federation Surgery Obesity, IFSO-EC Obesity Chapter, EASO Association Study ECOG Childhood Group, together with IOTF (International Task Force) represented during completion process by its...
<h3>Background</h3> Although Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is known to be associated with pancreatic cancer (PC), estimates of this risk differ widely. This hampers counselling patients and implementation surveillance strategies. We therefore aimed determine the PC in a large cohort Dutch PJS patients. <h3>Methods</h3> was defined by diagnostic criteria recommended WHO, proven <i>LKB1</i> mutation, or both. All presumptive diagnosis pancreatic, ampullary distal bile duct were identified....
<h3>Objective</h3> Conventional colonoscopy (CC) is considered the reference standard for detection of colorectal neoplasia, but it can still miss a substantial number adenomas. The use transparent plastic cap may improve colonic visualisation. Cap-assisted (CAC) was compared with CC adenoma detection. Secondary outcomes were caecal intubation time, rate and degree discomfort colonoscopy. <h3>Design</h3> This parallel, randomised, controlled trial at two centres. Asymptomatic participants...
Adequate bowel preparation prior to colonic diagnostic procedures is essential ensure adequate visualisation. This consensus aims provide guidance as the appropriate use of for a range defined clinical circumstances. A group from across Europe was convened and met discuss preparation. The polyethylene glycol (PEG), sodium picosulphate phosphate (NaP), together with other agents, prokinetics simethicone, in colonoscopy small video capsule endoscopy were considered. systematic review...
AbstractBackground: Gastro-oesophageal reflux is an obesity-related health risk assumed to improve after weight loss. Prolonged intragastric balloon distension might oppose this. The purpose of the study was investigate prevalence gastro-oesophageal in untreated obese subjects and consequences loss with or without treatment. Methods: Patients participating a randomized double-blind, sham-controlled trial received sham treatment for first 13 weeks. Thereafter, all remaining year....
Bariatric surgery ameliorates obesity-associated diseases, resulting in psychological and social benefits. Long-term studies of its effects on quality life (QOL) assessed with well established instruments are lacking. This prospective study investigated the long-term gastric banding health-related QOL using an obesity-specific validated measure.The Health Related Quality Life (HRQL) questionnaire was completed by 50 severely obese patients before at 1, 2.5 5 years after banding. Ninety-eight...
OBJECTIVES: Endoscopic tri-modal imaging incorporates high-resolution white-light endoscopy (HR-WLE), narrow-band (NBI), and autofluorescence (AFI). Combining these advanced techniques may improve endoscopic differentiation between adenomas non-neoplastic polyps. In this study, we aimed to assess the interobserver variability accuracy of HR-WLE, NBI, AFI for polyp evaluate combined use NBI. METHODS: First, still images 50 polyps (22 adenomas; median 3 mm) were randomly displayed three...
<b>Background and study aims</b> Conventional gastric balloons for weight loss require endoscopy placement removal. The Elipse device is swallowed, resides in the stomach 4 months, then expelled. objectives of this were to assess safety measure its effects on loss, metabolic parameters, quality life. <b>Methods</b> Each participant swallowed one device, which was filled with 550 mL filling fluid through a thin delivery catheter that removed. Weight measured every 2 weeks, parameters life...
<h3>Objective</h3> The aim was to determine the prevalence of small-bowel neoplasia in asymptomatic patients with Lynch syndrome (LS) by video capsule endoscopy (VCE). <h3>Design</h3> After obtaining informed consent, proven gene mutation carriers aged 35–70 years were included this prospective multicentre study Netherlands. Patients previous surgery excluded. bowel preparation, VCE performed. videos read two independent investigators. If significant lesions detected, an endoscopic procedure...
