Abstract Background There is a rapid increase in the incidence of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) newly industrialized countries, yet epidemiological data incomplete. We herein report methodology adopted to study IBD countries and evaluate effect environmental factors including diet on development. Methods Global Visualization Epidemiology Studies 21st Century (GIVES-21) population-based cohort diagnosed persons with Crohn’s disease ulcerative colitis Asia, Africa, Latin America be...
The prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is increasing over time worldwide, with similar trends to those diabetes and obesity. A biopsy, the gold standard diagnosis, not favored due its invasiveness. Meanwhile, noninvasive evaluation methods are still either very expensive or demonstrate poor diagnostic performances, thus, limiting their applications. We developed neural network-based models assess classify severity using B-mode ultrasound (US) images.We followed standards for...
Colorectal cancer is the leading cause of cancer-associated morbidity and mortality worldwide. One causes developing colorectal untreated colon adenomatous polyps. Clinically, polyps are detected in colonoscopy malignancies determined according to biopsy. To provide a quick objective assessment gastroenterologists, this study proposed quantitative polyp classification via various image features colonoscopy. The collected database was composed 1991 images including 1053 hyperplastic 938...
Abstract Despite the steadily increasing worldwide incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC), an effective noninvasive approach for early detection CRC is still under investigation. The guaiac-based fecal occult blood test (FOBT) and immunochemical (FIT) have gained popularity as screening tests owing to their convenience relatively low costs. However, FOBT FIT limited sensitivity specificity. To develop a tool CRC, we investigated sensitivity, specificity, accuracy stool DNA targeting methylated...
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with dysbiosis and intestinal barrier dysfunction, as indicated by epithelial hyperpermeability high levels of mucosal-associated bacteria. Changes in gut microbiota may be correlated IBD pathogenesis. Additionally, microbe-based treatments could mitigate clinical symptoms. Plasmon-activated water (PAW) known to have an anti-inflammatory potential. In this work, we studied the association between ability PAW microbes, thereby improving...
Red blood cell (RBC) aggregation and iron status are interrelated strongly influenced by dietary factors, their alterations pose a great risk of dyslipidemia metabolic syndrome (MetS). Currently, RBC aggregation-related patterns remain unclear. This study investigated the that were associated with predictive effects on hyperlipidemia MetS. Anthropometric biochemical data food frequency questionnaires collected from 212 adults. Dietary derived using reduced rank regression 32 groups. Adjusted...
Interferon in combination with ribavirin has been the standard of care for chronic hepatitis C virus infection (HCV) past few decades. However, its effect on risk autoimmune diseases (ADs) among patients HCV remains unclear. We assessed potential association between interferon-based therapy (IBT) and AD infection.This retrospective cohort study identified diagnosed January 1, 2006, December 31, 2015, from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database. In total, 16,029 who received IBT...
Melanosis coli (MC) is a disease related to long-term use of anthranoid laxative agents. Patients with clinical constipation or obesity are more likely these drugs for long periods. Moreover, patients MC develop polyps, particularly adenomatous polyps. Adenomatous polyps can transform colorectal cancer. Recognizing multiple from challenging due their heterogeneity. Therefore, this study proposed quantitative assessment colonic mucosa texture patterns. In total, the colonoscopy images 1092...
Abstract There is limited literature on the subject of intestinal bezoars in setting small bowel ischemia. Furthermore, no evidence‐based pathogenesis has been offered current case reports. This report describes a unique ischemia with simultaneous bezoar aggravation intestine. An 82‐year‐old woman history diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidemia presented intermittent severe postprandial abdominal pain over last 2 days. upper endoscopy 3 weeks prior revealed gastric approximately 1.5 cm...
