Solitary Peutz-Jeghers Type Hamartomatous Polyp Arising from the Appendix

Is hybrid therapy more efficient in the eradication of Helicobacter pylori infe...

Introduction Hybrid therapy (HT) is a non-bismuth quadruple therapy created to surpass Helicobacter pylori’s (H. pylori) resistance rates to antibiotics. HT has excellent eradication rates, as well as a very good compliance and safety profile. We aim to compare HT with sequential therapy (ST) and concomitant therapy (CT) for the eradication of H. pylori. Methods This systematic review was conducted following th...

Taking into account their typical endoscopic and radiological features and benign nature, tissue sampling, resection or follow-up are generally not required. Case Report: A 61-yearold woman with poor surgical fitness presented with colonic suboccl...

Lymphogranuloma Venereum-Associated Proctitis Mimicking a Malignant Rectal Neop...

Background: Chlamydia trachomatis-lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) and an uncommon cause of proctitis. The diagnosis requires a high index of clinical suspicion, since the clinical, imaging, endoscopic, and histological findings can mimic multiple benign or malignant conditions like inflammatory bowel disease and rectal neoplasms. Case Presentation: We present the case of...

Role of Intestinal Ultrasound in the Evaluation of Postsurgical Recurrence in C...

Endoscopy remains the exam of choice in the evaluation of activity in Crohn's disease (CD) after surgery (ACD-AS). However, intestinal ultrasound (IUS) may represent a noninvasive alternative. The objective of this study is to determine the diagnostic accuracy of this modality compared to endoscopy. Material and Methods: This is a crosssectional study, comprising a period of 14 months, carried out in patients w...

Lysosomal Acid Lipase: Can it be a New Non-Invasive Serum Biomarker of Cryptoge...

Introduction and aim. The association between lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) activity and liver steatosis or fibrosis is poorly st ud- ied. The aim of our study was to determine the predictive power of LAL for cryptogenic liver steatosis and cryptogenic significant fi- brosis/cirrhosis.
