Increased WC and low FFM/FM in men and visceral obesity in post-menopausal women were independent correlates of more severe liver steatosis.
We recommend 5 steps for engaging with Indigenous community members to build meaningful and respectful relationships and co-create Indigenous gastroenterology and hepatology knowledge.
Existing evidence is sufficiently strong to warrant immediate public health actions to help citizens identify ultra-processed foods and limit their exposure.
Mental health screening programs should be incorporated in routine clinical practice, especially for depression, regardless of disease activity and disease type.
Here we propose AI-Endo, an intelligent surgical workflow recognition suit, for endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Our AI-Endo is trained on high-quality ESD cases from an expert endoscopist, covering a decade time expansion.
More people are developing liver damage or liver carcinoma. Can the rising number of deaths caused by these be reduced? Statins may be an option.
Eliminating certain foods can help cure eosinophilic oesophagitis. But it is often unclear which to eliminate or abstain from. Researchers compared elimination diets of different foods, versus those where only cow's milk was avoided.
Some retrospective studies suggested that combination of PPIs with immuno-chemotherapies, is associated with worse outcomes. What's new on this issue?
Analyses revealed a dose-dependent, nonlinear association of PA (volume and intensity) with all-cause mortality and a dose-dependent, linear association of DQ with all-cause mortality.
Surrogate neutralisation against all tested sublineages was reduced in patients with IBD who were treated with anti-TNF biologics compared to patients treated with non-anti-TNF biologics and healthy controls.
The present study demonstrated the role of BAE in the endoscopic assessment of disease activity and its predictive value for the risk of surgery in small-bowel CD patients. Further optimization of BAE utilization for the assessment of disease activity is warranted in clinical practice.
Clinically relevant psychological distress and/or somatic symptom severity was reported by 37.5% of the sample. These participants had 4.45 times higher odds to have at least one DGBI than individuals without psychological distress and/or somatic symptoms.
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.
