There is limited data on the rate of new or recurrent cancer in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and a history prior current malignancy who are initiated biologic therapies. Furthermore, there no this topic using ustekinumab.The retrospective study included 341 IBD were subsequently treated vedolizumab (VDZ; n = 34), ustekinumab (USK; 27), tumor necrosis factor α antagonists (anti-TNF; 99), had immunosuppressive therapy (control; 181). Cox proportional hazard models developed...
Abstract Background Pouchitis can be a chronic complication of ileal pouch-anal anastomosis. We aimed to determine the efficacy and safety hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for antibiotic-refractory pouchitis (CARP) other inflammatory conditions pouch. Methods This was retrospective case series adults with bowel disease (IBD) who underwent anastomosis then developed CARP received HBOT between January 2015 October 2019. A modified Disease Activity Index (mPDAI) score used quantify subjective...
Abstract Background Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory colon disease characterized by relapsing flares and remission episodes. However, the optimal steroid tapering strategy in patients hospitalized for acute severe UC (ASUC) remains relatively unknown. We aim to examine clinical outcomes ASUC regarding variable prednisone taper regimens upon discharge. Methods retrospectively reviewed all adult admitted our facility with between 2000 2022. Patients were divided into 2 groups...
In newborns, the presence of liver fluid collection is a rare event. The reported cases are isolated or described over long periods. Within four months, five neonates were diagnosed with from safety occurrence reports. Clinical, laboratory and radiological data extracted medical records. definite diagnosis was made by ultrasound. Four patients preterm, male had very low birth weights. osmolality infused solution within acceptable range. Investigations revealed that use new brand umbilical...
Limited published data exist regarding the association of atrial fibrillation (AF) and acute pancreatitis.To test our hypothesis that AF increases mortality clinical outcomes in patients with pancreatitis, we conducted a cross-sectional review National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database.The NIS database was reviewed for collection on patient hospitalizations 2016 2017.Patients diagnosed pancreatitis without concomitant were included analysis.The International Classification Diseases, 10th...
Although intrinsic risk factors contributing to esophageal food impaction are well established, whether social behavior affects its occurrence has not yet been examined.We conducted a retrospective review of the gastroenterology endoscopy procedural documentation software for period 2001-2012 identify all patients who presented our emergency department foreign-body removal at time national athletic events and holidays associated with dietary indiscretions.We found that adults undergoing...
Clostridium tertium bacteremia is a rare condition that predominantly occurs in neutropenic patients. bacteremia, although extremely non-neutropenic patients, represents the second-most common cause of among species. Infection with this bacteria can present variably and usually managed broad-spectrum antibiotics.
Pheochromocytoma is the underlying etiology in 0.1% of hypertensive cases. However, it may be present up to 5.7% patients with neurofibromatosis I (NF1). The burst catecholamines inherent pheochromocytoma has significant effects on mechanical and electrical activity myocardium. Different theories have been postulated for myocardial stunning that include microvascular spasm, impaired fatty acid metabolism, increased production oxygen-derived free radicals dynamic left ventricular mid-cavity...
Background . Blatchford and AIMS65 scores were developed to risk stratify patients with upper gastrointestinal bleed (UGIB). We sought assess the performance of in predicting outcomes elderly nonvariceal UGIB. Methods A retrospective cohort study (over 65 years age) UGIB admitted a tertiary care center. Primary outcome was combined in-hospital mortality, need for any therapeutic endoscopic, radiologic, or surgical intervention, rebleeding within 30 days, blood transfusion. Secondary...
Primary systemic or amyloid light chain (AL) amyloidosis is a multisystem disorder with myriad presentations. Although it can involve the upper gastrointestinal tract in 8% of cases, symptomatic involvement exceedingly rare. We chronicle here case postprandial epigastric pain associated AL involving stomach and duodenum. Pathological examination endoscopic biopsy using Congo red staining confirmed diagnosis. In order to establish underlying aetiology amyloidosis, patient underwent extensive...
There has been a historic similarity in the epidemiology and pathophysiology of diverticular disease inflammatory bowel (IBD). Because there are limited to no data on role diverticulitis as potential risk factor for de novo IBD, we aimed evaluate complicated predictor IBD.We performed retrospective, single-center study including patients older than age 18 years who were diagnosed with from January 2012 until December 2018 without prior diagnosis IBD. These then evaluated development...
Abstract AIMS To assess the prevalence and association of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with autoimmune primary adrenal insufficiency (APAI). BACKGROUND Patients are at risk for developing other immune mediated diseases (IMD). There is a paucity data on IBD insufficiency/ adrenalitis. date, only small series have been published in literature well-designed population-based studies not yet examined this association. METHODS We identified patients from Healthcare Cost Utilization Project -...
