<h3>Objective</h3> Although a split regimen of bowel preparation has been associated with higher levels cleansing, it is still uncertain whether favourable effect on the adenoma detection rate (ADR). The present study was aimed at evaluating superior to traditional 'full-dose, day-before' in terms ADR. <h3>Design</h3> In multicentre, randomised, endoscopist-blinded study, 50–69-year-old subjects undergoing first colonoscopy after positive-faecal immunochemical test within an organised...
OBJECTIVES: Computed tomographic (CT) colonography or virtual colonoscopy is a new diagnostic method for the colon and rectum, developed on basis of spiral computed axial tomography employing reality technology. The aim this study was to determine sensitivity, specificity, accuracy CT compared with in prospective, blinded one single institution Italy. METHODS: Ninety-nine patients randomly selected among those attending open-access endoscopy unit underwent CT. images obtained were...
<b>Background and study aims: </b>Narrow-band imaging (NBI) has shown promising results in discriminating adenomatous from non-adenomatous colonic polyps. In patients with small polyps (< 10 mm), the application of NBI within a "resect discard" strategy, might allow post-polypectomy surveillance intervals to be determined independently histopathology. The aim present was assess feasibility safety this approach routine clinical practice. <b>Patients methods:</b> Consecutive colonoscopy...
Abstract Background Linked color imaging (LCI) is a newly developed image-enhancing endoscopy technology that provides bright endoscopic images and increases contrast. We investigated whether LCI improves the detection of neoplastic lesions in right colon when compared with high definition white-light (WLI). Methods Consecutive patients undergoing colonoscopy were randomized (1:1) after cecal intubation into inspection at first pass by or WLI. At hepatic flexure, scope was reintroduced to...
Most patients with serum hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA and persistently normal alanine transaminase (ALT) levels show histological features of mild to moderately active chronic hepatitis. Some cirrhosis has also been reported. To assess whether interferon (IFN) treatment led long-term HCV suppression in these patients, 31 previously untreated (15 men, 16 women; mean age, 44 years) RNA, ALT on at least four consecutive occasions 2 months apart, (21 activity, 10 moderate activity) were...
OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy and patient acceptance of an oral high dose senna to conventional polyethylene glycol-electrolyte lavage solution (PEG-ES) in adults undergoing elective colonoscopy. METHODS Consecutive outpatients referred for colonoscopy were prospectively randomly assigned receive, day before procedure, either 24 tablets 12 mg senna, divided into two doses at 1 p.m. 9 (senna group, n = 191), or standard 4-L PEG-ES (PEG-ES =192). The overall quality colon cleansing...
Continuous quality improvement (CQI) is recommended by professional societies as part of every colonoscopy program, but little known with regard to its effectiveness for outcomes. We prospectively assessed whether the implementation a CQI program in routine clinical practice influences performance colonoscopy.In an open-access endoscopy unit at secondary care center Northern Italy, 6-monthly audit cycles were carried out over 4-year period, identify reasons poor outcomes and institute...
BACKGROUND: The increasing demand for colonoscopy has renewed the interest unsedated procedures. Alternative techniques, such as carbon dioxide insufflation and warm-water infusion, have been advocated to improve patient tolerance in comparison with air insufflation. OBJECTIVE: aim of this study was evaluate benefits irrigation over patients. DESIGN: This a randomized, controlled trial. SETTING: conducted at nonacademic single center. PATIENTS: Consecutive outpatients agreeing start without...
Underwater endoscopic mucosal resection without submucosal injection has been described for removing large flat colorectal lesions.We aim to evaluate the reproducibility of this technique in terms ease implementation, safety and efficacy.A prospective observational study consecutive underwater a community hospital was performed.From September 2014 April 2015, 25 or sessile lesions (median size 22.8 mm, range 10-50 mm; 18 placed right colon) were removed patients. Two adenomatous recurrences...
