A systematic review of asymptomatic infections with COVID-19

There is increasing evidence that many patients with COVID-19 are asymptomatic or have only mild symptoms. They are able to transmit the virus to others, making it difficult for national prevention and control this epidemic.

Intestinal Sulfation is Essential to Protect Against Colitis and Colonic Carcinogenesis

Sulfation is a conjugation reaction essential for numerous biochemical and cellular functions in mammals. The lower expression of PAPSS2 in colon cancer patients is correlated with worse survival

Increasing Rates of Opioid Prescriptions for Gastrointestinal Diseases in the United States

Pain control is an important management approach for many gastrointestinal conditions. Opioid prescription rates for the gastrointestinal disease increased by 0.5% per year from 2006 to 2016. Prescription rates were highest for chronic pancreatitis (25.1%) and chronic liver disease (13.9%) visits. Findings suggest an inadequate response to the opioid epidemic by providers managing gastrointestinal conditions.

Sequential endoscopist-driven phone calls improve the capture rate of adverse events after ERCP: a prospective study

ERCP is a high-risk endoscopic procedure, yet reports of ERCP-related adverse events are largely limited to early adverse events based on immediate post-procedure assessment. This study is notable for a high rate of successful patient follow-up at day 1 (94%) and day 7 (93%) The overall adverse event rate was 1.9% immediately after postprocedure, 3.3% on day 1. Initial postprocedure assessment and day 1 follow-up calls underestimate adverse event rates in health care encounters related to ERCP.

Salvage endoscopic resection after definitive chemoradiotherapy for esophageal cancer: a Western experience

Definitive chemoradiotherapy is increasingly used as a nonsurgical treatment for esophageal cancer. Salvage endoscopic resection has emerged as a promising strategy for local failure after definitive CRT. During a median of 24 months of follow-up after salvage ER, 52% developed a recurrence. No major intra- or postprocedural adverse events such as bleeding or perforation were reported.
