Background and Aim The ‘bear‐claw’ or over‐the‐scope‐clip system (OTSC; O vesco E ndoscopy, T übingen, G ermany) is a new clipping device developed for closure of large luminal gastrointestinal ( GI ) defects. aim the present study was to evaluate clinical outcomes patients treated with OTSC. Methods an observational, open‐label, retrospective, single‐arm case series conducted at two hospitals tertiary care endoscopy. It involved 20 clip applications in 16 (median age 65.8 years [range 51–90...
BACKGROUND. Treatment of gastric varices (GV) implies a number several difficulties and sometimes entails complications. The best endoscopic success rate was attributed until now to the use tissue adhesives(N-Butyl-2-Cyanoacrylate) band ligation. AIM. To assess therapeutic efficacy safety cyanoacrylate injection compared ligation in patients with acute GV hemorrhage. MATERIAL AND METHODS. Thirty-seven upper gastrointestinal bleeding from were included study, treated (GVO)-19 or ligations...

Overnight oxyhaemoglobin desaturation is related to AMS. AMS can be debilitating and may require descent. Positive pressure ventilation during sleep at high altitude prevent therefore useful in people travelling altitude, who are known suffer from AMS.Ascent results hypobaric hypoxia some individuals will develop acute mountain sickness (AMS), which has been shown associated with low saturation sleep. Previous research that positive end-expiratory by use of expiratory valves a face mask...
Self-expanding metal stents are a useful therapy to palliate malignant and benign luminal gastrointestinal obstruction. has been widely reported for colonic, esophageal, gastric However, endoscopic delivery placement the small bowel is more challenging difficult. This case illustrates usefulness technical advantages of balloon-overtube enteroscopy technique palliative treatment neoplastic stenosis affecting intestine.
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with surgically altered upper gastrointestinal anatomy such as Roux-en-Y anastomosis is challenging [1]. The use of double-balloon endoscopy (DBE) for ERCP has been shown to be safe and feasible [2 – 4]. Here we present the concept DBE rendezvous technique combined endoscopic-percutaneous placement biliary stents two patients.
The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) created challenges with access to care including increased burden on healthcare systems and potential exposure risks for vulnerable patients. To address these needs, Rush University Medical Center a virtual, urgent program specifically designed during the COVID-19 pandemic.This was retrospective study analyzing adult patients COVID-19-related telemedicine visits performed between March 1-June 30, 2020. refer those who used "Concern Coronavirus"...
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a disease that presents with acute respiratory symptoms are well documented and sequelae yet to be fully understood.We present the case of 51-year old woman, recently diagnosed COVID-19, who presented including chest pain, palpitations, difficulty swallowing, anterior neck discomfort. We ultimately her COVID-19-induced thyroiditis discharged on propranolol nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication. WHY SHOULD AN EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN BE AWARE OF THIS?:...
RezumatLeziunile abdominale sunt responsabile pentru aproximativ 20% din toate decesele posttraumatice, dintre care 45-50% survin în primele 60 de minute.În prezent există mai multe scoruri predicţie evoluţia acestor pacienţi, ţin cont grade leziune anatomică, semne clinice şi explorări imagistice paraclinice.Scopul studiului a fost dezvolta un sistem scor prezice mortalitatea la pacienţii cu traumatisme prin utilizarea parametrilor biologici uzuali.
Despite the fact that current decompression schedules reduce risk of sickness (DCS), recreational scuba divers continue to experience DCS. Therapy outcomes in these are difficult track. Our study aims understand efficacy United States Navy (USN) Treatment Tables (5, 6, 6A, 9) providing symptomatic relief among divers. We conducted a single-center retrospective review treated from 2003 2013. A total 187 were identified: 84 excluded, and charts remaining 103 independently reviewed by three...
Artisanal diving fishermen in Yucatán, Mexico have high rates of decompression sickness as a result frequently unsafe practices with surface supplied compressed air. In this study, we investigated the prevalence dysbaric osteonecrosis (DON), type avascular necrosis, most susceptible joints cohort these fishermen.We performed radiographs bilateral shoulders, hips, and knees 39 surveyed them about their medical histories. We pairwise correlations to examine if fishermen's behaviours affected...
Faults or errors during use of closed-circuit rebreathers (CCRs) can cause hypoxia. Military aviators face a similar risk hypoxia and undergo awareness training to determine their 'hypoxia signature', personalised, reproducible set symptoms. We aimed establish signature among divers, investigate ability detect self-rescue while cognitively overloaded.Eight CCR divers 12 scuba underwent an initial unblinded exposure followed by three trials; second hypoxic trial two normoxic trials in...
