Even gastroenterologists may struggle with this very special and heterogeneous group of neoplasms. But a correct diagnosis is usually within their grasp.
Vitamin D deficiency may be a risk factor for early-onset CRC, and findings suggest that ensuring vitamin D sufficiency through supplementation may be particularly important for the prevention of early-onset CRC.
Preoperative assessment of the abscess range and precise intraoperative methods to resolve the infection of the abscess glands in the internal mouth can effectively improve the cure rate.
Using published cutoffs, the authors estimated that 44.4% of the study population had fatty liver, 2.9% had advanced fibrosis, and 0.87% had cirrhosis.
If the intestinal microbiome is unbalanced, chronic diseases or micro-inflammations often ensue. What role does intestinal flora dysfunction play in grade III obesity?
A 20-year-old woman arrives to the emergency room with lower abdominal pain and changes in bowel movements. What is your probable diagnosis?
Artificial intelligence has also arrived in the operating room. Will it replace surgeons in the future?
Antibiotic-induced reduction of gut microbial populations leads to an enrichment of nutrients and depletion of inhibitory metabolites, which enhances CRE growth.
Diabetes, glucose, and hypertension are only predictive in certain low-income countries. Our findings suggest that adiposity-related microbiota differences differ between low-to-middle-income compared to high-income countries.
This diagnostic study of adults in Asia evaluates the performance of 2 index scores in estimating clinical outcomes for individuals with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
A key advantage of underwater endoscopic mucosal resection is the rapid dissipation of thermal energy during the application of electrocautery for resection of polyps.
A proof-of-concept study shows that DNA-slurping bacteria can identify cancerous sequences, advancing hope of a gentler form of diagnostics.
The self-controlled Case Series Analysis using the UK CPRD investigated the association between vaccination against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) flare.
A retrospective study investigating the impact of palliative care medicine on the tumor microenvironment has found that patients with pancreatic cancer who were prescribed the benzodiazepine lorazepam while undergoing chemotherapy had shorter progression-free survival than those patients who did not receive the benzodiazepine.
In this study of people with IBD, we demonstrate that all-or-nothing behavior (being very active then needing to resting a while) and catastrophic thinking (making very negative assumptions about outcomes) both predict worsening in fatigue over time.
Doctors say test may diagnose childhood illnesses in less than an hour, helping quickly identify life-threatening infections
Ending long-term therapy of HBeAg-negative hepatitis B with NUC was believed to induce a functional cure. Data on this was very limited, until a new study.
The microbiome is crucial for immunity, metabolic homeostasis, and protection from pathogens. What about its role in haematological diseases?
Two recent studies look at the efficacy of mirikizumab and upadacitinib in ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Can IBD patients benefit?
