Real-life chromoendoscopy for neoplasia detection and characterisation in long-standing IBD

The study looked at the effectiveness of chromoendoscopy for neoplasia detection and characterization. Dysplasia detection rate between expert and non-expert endoscopists and learning curve were ascertained. In vitro, CE optical diagnosis is highly accurate for ruling out dysplasia, especially in expert hands.

The oxycodone in combination with midazolam may provide an anesthetic technique that results in fewer episodes of hypoxia and other adverse conditions during endoscopic injection sclerotherapy. Patients with cirrhosis and esophageal varices had 32% fewer episodes of hypoxia. The study was a prospective, double-blinded, randomized controlled trial.

Randomised controlled trial of mesalazine in IBS

Low-grade intestinal inflammation plays a role in the pathophysiology of IBS. We conducted a phase 3, multicentre, tertiary setting, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Patients were randomly assigned to either mesalazine, 800 mg, or placebo, three times daily for 12 weeks.

Efficacy and safety of Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy immediately after endoscopic submucosal dissection

Clinical Parameters Correlate With Endoscopic Activity of Ulcerative Colitis: A Systematic Review

The study finds a correlation between clinical activity, a combination of rectal bleeding and stool frequency, and endoscopic activity in patients with UC. Symptoms correlated more strongly with endoscopic. activity in those with left-sided colitis than extensive colitis.

Liver disease and outcomes among COCOVID-19 hospitalized patients - A systematic review and meta-analysis

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has been a challenge globally. it is assumed that COVID-19 is associated with acute liver injury. Meta-analysis suggests that acute liver injury and elevated liver enzymes were significantly associated with the severity of the disease. Among liver disease patients to predict poor outcomes of COVID-19 and causes of liver injury during COVID-19 infection.

Pre-existing cerebrovascular disease and poor outcomes of COVID-19 hospitalized patients: a meta-analysis

COVID-19 infection is believed to increase the risk of stroke and worsen the outcomes of patients with pre-existing cerebrovascular diseases. There is limited literature on the prevalence of pre-existing CeVD in COVID-19 patients, and outcomes are unknown. COVID-19 patients with pre-existing cerebrovascular disease have poor outcomes and extra precautions should be taken in managing such patients during the ongoing pandemic.
