Factors that influence adherence to basic infection control precautions among n...

Abstract Introduction: Health care-associated infections have high costs and increased mortality rates, reducing people's quality of life. Objective: Mapping the factors that influence adherence to standard precautions among/by nurses. Methods: The Joanna Briggs Institute methodology will be used. The research considered the criteria defined and adapted to the databases included in the identification of relevan...

Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Celiac Plexus Interventions

Abstract: Abdominal pain related to pancreatic disease is often extremely disabling. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided celiac plexus block (CPB) is used to control pain associated with chronic pancreatitis. EUS-guided celiac plexus neurolysis (CPN) is typically used to reduce pain associated with pancreatic cancer and can be considered early at the time of diagnosis of inoperable disease. EUS-guided celiac ple...

GRUPUGE Perspective: Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Drainage of Peripancreatic Co...

Abstract: Pancreatic and peripancreatic collections (PPC) are a known complication of acute pancreatitis. They are categorized into four types of collection: (1) acute peripancreatic fluid collection, (2) pseudocyst, (3) acute necrotic collection and (4) walled-off necrosis. Most PPC resolve spontaneously or are persistent but asymptomatic. Intervention is needed in a minority of patients with infected or sympt...

Hepatite C em pessoas com hemofilia: follow-up de longa data de uma coorte unic...

Resumo: Introdução: A população de doentes com hemofilia (DCH) representa uma população com alta prevalência de infeção pelo vírus da hepatite C (VHC), atendendo à utilização passada de derivados sanguíneos contaminados. Apesar de os objetivos terapêuticos nesta população serem semelhantes aos da população geral, estudos de vida real com follow-up de longa data são ainda escassos. O nosso objetivo consistiu em ...

GRUPUGE Perspective: Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Fine-Needle Tattooing and Fid...

Abstract: In the last 2 decades, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has become an important procedure for the diagnosis and management of several pancreatic diseases, including pancreatic cancer. This article presents two recently developed EUS-guided techniques for the management of pancreatic cancer: fine-needle tattooing and fiducial placement. Preoperative EUS-guided fine-needle tattooing of small pancreatic tumor...

GRUPUGE PERSPECTIVE: Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Biliary Drainage

Abstract: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) is an alternative to percutaneous and surgical drainage in bile duct obstruction when endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography fails. EUS-BD can be achieved with several techniques, including EUS-guided hepaticogastrostomy (HGS), anterograde transpapillary stent placement, choledochoduodenostomy (CDS), and rendez-vous technique. Lately, with...

Long-Term Follow-Up of Advanced Liver Disease after Sustained Virological Respo...

Background: Direct-acting antivirals (DAA) have revolutionized hepatitis C treatment, with high sustained virological response (SVR) rates reported, even in historically difficult-to-treat groups. SVR is associated with a decreased risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), need for transplantation, and overall and liver-related mortality. Data from real-life cohorts on the medium- to long-term outcomes of patient...

Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Ablation of Focal Pancreatic Lesions: The GRUPUGE ...

Focal pancreatic lesions include a heterogeneous group of solid and cystic lesions, with different natures and variable clinical, imagiological, and pathological characteristics. Several endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided ablative techniques have been tested during the last decade for the treatment of these pancreatic lesions, mostly consisting of the injection of ablative agents and, more recently, radiofreque...
