Endoscopic Management of Sigmoid Volvulus in a Debilitated Population: What Rel...

Background: Colonic volvulus, mainly from the sigmoid, is a relatively common cause of intestinal obstruction, particularly in the elderly and in patients with debilitating conditions. The high morbi-mortality of emergency surgery places the endoscopic approach as the first-line treatment for the resolution of this acute obstructive condition. Objectives: To assess the importance of endoscopic treatment for the...

Gastric Antral Vascular Ectasia (GAVE) and Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasi...

Together We Stand, Divided We Fall: A Multidisciplinary Approach in Complicated...

Outcomes of Different Methods for Analysis of Biliary Brush Cytology and of Fac...

Brush cytology during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is the most frequently used strategy for obtaining a tissue sample from an indeterminate biliary stricture. A recent study reported that age is a factor associated with positive yields, but further analysis of how age influences the results was lacking. We aimed to evaluate clinical effectiveness of biliary cytology and prognostic facto...

Hodgkin's Lymphoma in Crohn's Disease Treated with Infliximab

INTRODUCTION: Lymphoproliferative disorders, particularly non-Hodgkin's and Hodgkin's lymphomas, are rare in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases. The use of thiopurines and infection by Epstein-Barr virus are well-known cofactors that can raise its prevalence. Other risk factors such as disease activity and biological treatment are the subject of discussion, without enough data in the literature to confir...
