Diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP/ES) can be associated with unforeseeable complications, especially when involving postprocedural pancreatitis. The aim of the study was to investigate risk factors for complications ERCP/ES in a prospective multicentric study.One hundred fifty variables were prospectively collected at time before hospital discharge over 2 years, consecutive patients undergoing procedure nine units Lombardy region Italy. More than...
This Guideline is an official statement of the European Society Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE). It addresses prophylaxis post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (post-ERCP) pancreatitis. <b>Main recommendations</b> <b>1</b> ESGE recommends routine rectal administration 100 mg diclofenac or indomethacin immediately before after ERCP in all patients without contraindication. In addition to this, case high risk for post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP), placement a 5-Fr prophylactic...

Objectives Probiotics can be useful in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. In a previous report, non-pathogenic yeast Saccharomyces boulardii was found to beneficial maintenance Crohn's The aim this study assess efficacy S. ulcerative colitis patients. Methods A group 25 patients with mild moderate clinical flare-up received additional 250 mg three times day for 4 weeks during mesalazine. These were unsuitable steroid therapy. Before and after treatment, Rachmilewitz's activity...
Prospective studies have identified a number of patient- and procedure-related independent risk factors for post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis, with different conclusions, so various questions are still open. The endoscopist's expertise, case volume, mix can all significantly influence the outcome ERCP procedures, but been investigated little to date.We post-ERCP pancreatitis impact experience center's using univariate multivariate analysis, in...

We validate humans crucial role of intestinal environment promoting cell expansion MS patients. found increased frequency correlates with high disease activity specific alterations gut mucosa-associated microbiota By using 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing, we analyzed isolated from small tissues patients showed a higher...

Objective Alcohol-related pancreatitis is associated with a disproportionately large number of hospitalisations among GI disorders. Despite its clinical importance, genetic susceptibility to alcoholic chronic (CP) poorly characterised. To identify risk genes for CP and evaluate their relevance in non-alcoholic CP, we performed genome-wide association study functional characterisation new locus. Design 1959 European patients population-based controls from the KORA, LIFE INCIPE studies...

<b>Background and study aim:</b> Precut sphincterotomy is a technique usually employed for difficult biliary cannulation during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) the treatment of bile duct disease. It validated risk factor post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP), but it not clear whether related to itself or repeated attempts preceding it. The primary aim was assess incidence PEP in early precut compared with standard patients cannulation. Secondary aims were compare complications...
