The innovative medical device Actitan, which consists of a complex of natural molecules, could be an effective option for the treatment of diarrhea from various causes. The aim of this post-market cross-sectional study was to evaluate the perceived efficacy, safety and usage pattern of the two formulations for adults (Actitan-P) and children (Actitan-F) among patients/child caregivers, physicians and pharmacists. Participants completed online questionnaires with closed multiple-choice questions that were rated on a verbal 5-point Likert scale. These surveys were conducted via the online platform Real World Data, which provides digital questionnaires for patients, doctors and pharmacists. Two separate surveys were conducted for the two formulations, with a total of 2630 participants (1488 participants for Actitan-P and 1142 participants for Actitan-F). Overall, the results indicate a high level of efficacy and safety of the product. In the case of Actitan-F, more than 96% of caregivers rated safety as good or excellent, and over 92% rated efficacy as good or excellent. Actitan-P also received positive feedback: nearly 86% of patients reported good/excellent efficacy, and more than 93% rated safety as good or excellent. These positive evaluations were confirmed by physicians and pharmacists, who also did not report adverse effects. In summary, this study confirms the role of Actitan as a safe and effective option for the treatment of diarrhea of different causes and in different patient groups, including young children.","PeriodicalId":507842,"journal":{"name":"Gastrointestinal Disorders","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141926159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Poor maternal nutrition can lead to pregnancy-related complications with undesirable effects on the fetus. This requirement is equally important for pregnant women with celiac disease (CD) who are already on a gluten-free diet (GFD). Although the GFD is the sole treatment option for CD, it still presents some challenges and confusion for celiac women who wish to conceive. Poorly managed CD has been linked to miscarriages, preterm labor, low birth weight, and stillbirths. Current CD guidelines primarily focus on screening, diagnosis, treatment, and management but lack an evidence-based approach to determine appropriate energy requirements, recommended weight gain during pregnancy, target macronutrient distribution from the diet, the recommended intake of vitamins and minerals from diet and/or supplementation, timing for starting supplementation, and advised portions of gluten-free foods during pregnancy.

The large number of lesions detected via high-definition (HD) imaging during colonoscopy calls for the reliable real-time histological characterization of polyps, especially diminutive and small ones, to permit tailored management based on the neoplastic risk, such as a “resect-and-discard” or a “diagnose-and-leave” strategy for low-risk adenomas and hyperplastic polyps (HPs). The Kudo classification of glandular pit pattern is currently used for predicting polyp histology. Aim. The aim in this study was to assess whether Kudo’s glandular pit pattern, assessed via HD digital chromoendoscopy (i-Scan) without magnification and optical enhancement, reliably predicts polyp histology and differentiates neoplastic lesions (NLs) from non-neoplastic lesions (non-NLs) during routine colonoscopy. Methods. Consecutive colorectal lesions recorded in a database over 12 months, with Kudo’s glandular pit pattern classification, were retrospectively compared with histology. The diagnostic accuracy and negative predictive value (NPV) for adenomatous histology of Kudo’s pit patterns were assessed separately for diminutive (≤5 mm) and small (6–9 mm) polyps, accordingly to the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) Preservation and Incorporation of Valuable Endoscopic Innovations (PIVI), and in large (≥10 mm) lesions. Results. A total of 2230 lesions were recorded: 898 diminutive, 704 small, and 628 large. Kudo’s type II pit pattern was prevalent in diminutive polyps and recognized mostly in HPs (83.27%); it was also found in 38.8% of adenomas. In the right colon, Kudo’s type II pit pattern was prevalent in adenomas (70.04% vs. 20.74% in HPs); among the serrated lesions, it was evenly distributed between HPs and adenomas. Kudo’s type IIIL/IIIs/IV pit pattern was prevalent in NLs (61% vs. 8.37% of non-NLs) in diminutive polyps, evenly distributed between non-NLs and NLs in small polyps, and found only in NLs in large polyps. Kudo’s type Vi/Vn pit pattern correctly identified all but one adenocarcinoma. The NPV for adenomatous histology did not reach the recommended 90% PIVI threshold for differentiation between NLs and non-NLs in diminutive polyps showing Kudo’s type II pit pattern and in small polyps showing type IIIL/IIIs/IV pit pattern. Conclusions. Kudo’s pit pattern classification carried out with digital chromoendoscopy (i-Scan) during routine colonoscopy does not allow the reliable differentiation between non-NLs and NLs in diminutive and small polyps, so a “diagnose-and-leave” strategy for diminutive polyps may leave undetected adenomas, while a “resect-and-discard” strategy could miss lesions requiring closer follow-up.","PeriodicalId":507842,"journal":{"name":"Gastrointestinal Disorders","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141661803","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the United Arab Emirates (UAE), several biological therapies are used to achieve remission in severe and resistant cases of CD. We carried out a literature search to analyze the effectiveness and safety of biologic treatments currently licensed in the UAE. Methods: We searched the PubMed, Embase and Cochrane library databases from inception to January 2020 to identify relevant studies. Search terms were generated using established treatment guidelines for CD. We also manually searched the bibliographies of relevant literature to obtain additional papers. Results: Biologic and small molecule agents for CD include four core drug classes: anti-tumor necrosis factor-α agents (TNF-α), integrin receptor antagonists, Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors and IL-12/IL-23 antagonists. All drug classes showed good efficacy and safety in managing patients with CD. Some drug classes had distinguishable side effect profiles. This included an increased lymphoma and tuberculous risk for TNF-α and integrin receptor antagonists. Many trials supported the effectiveness of these licensed drugs. Biologic agent intolerance was common; one-third of patients receiving TNF-α treatment will develop intolerance to that specific drug. Conclusions: Advanced medical therapies licensed in the UAE have proven to be safe and efficacious. Additional research is required to evaluate the safety and efficacy of newer biologics and biosimilars.","PeriodicalId":507842,"journal":{"name":"Gastrointestinal Disorders","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141670950","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The major causes are diverticular disease, colitis, hemorrhoids, and angiodysplasia. The literature studies underline that Direct Oral Anticoagulants (DOACs) are effective in reducing the risk of thromboembolic events but are associated with a higher risk of lower gastrointestinal bleeding (LGIB), particularly lower hemorrhoid bleeding.

Subjects with CRC had significantly higher f-Hb concentrations (median: 1269 μg/mg) when compared with subjects of other groups. Higher percentages of CRC as well as large and small polyps were recorded in males. However, there was no significant difference in f-Hb concentration between males and females (p = 0.90). Higher median levels were found for f-Hb in patients with Q3 (higher red meat consumption) compared to Q1 and Q2 in the category with CRC, despite there being no statistically significant differences among the groups (p = 0.742). Similar results for coffee consumption and f-Hb concentrations in the different groups have been recorded (p = 0.697). A higher quartile of red meat consumption was associated with an increase in CRC risk of 79.9%.

However, the long-term effects of GES therapy on GP symptom control and identification of the optimal parameters to activate this long-term efficacy have not been investigated. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort analysis of 57 GP patients who received GES and pyloroplasty (PP). The interrogation of the GES system and assessment of GP symptoms were conducted at the initiation of GES therapy and during follow-up visits. We determined the changes in GES parameters including voltage (V), impedance (I), and current (C). The outcome was total symptom score (TSS), which was measured by self-reported GP symptoms. Results: The mean age of patients was 44 (±14) years, and 72% were females. The etiology for GP was diabetes mellitus in 72% and idiopathic in 28%. The median duration of GES follow-up was 47 months (range 5–73) A significant decrease was found in individual symptom scores and the TSS (−10.8; 95%CI: −12.6, −9.08) compared to baseline scores (p < 0.0001). During follow-up, readings for I (515 vs. 598 Ω), V (3.3 vs. 4.8 V), and C (6.5 vs. 8.4 mA) significantly increased (p ≤ 0.0001 for all parameters). Higher GES settings were associated with lower TSS in the adjusted analysis (RC, −1.97; 95%CI: −3.81, −0.12, p = 0.037).

Major symptoms include abdominal pain, dyspepsia, delayed gastric emptying, anorexia, diarrhea and weight loss. IBD etiopathogenesis is multifactorial, with a proven involvement of cytokines. In this regard, cytokines like resistin and adiponectin produced by adipose tissue play a crucial role in inflammation. Particularly, resistin seems related to IBD severity and is considered a promising marker of disease occurrence and progression. Unraveling its mechanism of action and downstream effectors is mandatory when designing novel therapies. This preclinical study aims to further elucidate the action of resistin in causing functional gastrointestinal alterations, comparing it with the well-defined effect of adiponectin. To this end, we carried out electrophysiological analysis on murine gastric fundus. We found that resistin, similarly to adiponectin, increases smooth muscle cell (SMC) capacitance, indicative of cell surface remodeling, which is consistent with relaxation. However, contrary to adiponectin, resistin unalters membrane potential and inward Ca2+ entry and scarcely affects outward current, suggesting its inefficacy in markedly modifying electrical phenomena on the SMC membrane. This outcome, supporting the role of resistin in gastrointestinal distention, as observed in IBD, rules out a strikingly direct effect on SMCs.","PeriodicalId":507842,"journal":{"name":"Gastrointestinal Disorders","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141370857","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Method: Patients with a complaint of melena or hematochezia who were admitted were consecutively enrolled. In patients with gastrointestinal bleeding, examination was performed according to the guideline. When OGIB was suspected, SBCE was performed. Patients were categorized into two subgroups based on the SBCE results: a positive group (n = 78) and a negative group (n = 67). Results: The rate of the positive diagnostic yield of SBCE was 53.8% (78/145). In patients over 60 years, the diagnostic yield was 61.5%, which was higher than in patients younger than 60 years (40.7%). In the multivariate analysis, there was a significant difference in the positive diagnostic yield in the patients aged over 60 years (p < 0.01). Factors related to the procedure and clinical characteristics also showed significant differences in the positive predictive rates according to the degree of bowel preparation, small bowel transit time, and transfusion requirements. Conclusions: SBCE could be recommended as a diagnostic tool for OGIB, especially in those with old ages (>60 years) and those who need transfusion, because of its relatively high diagnostic yields in these populations. Proper bowel preparation and a prolonged small bowel transit time may have clinical significance in relation to the positive diagnostic yield of SBCE in patients with OGIB.","PeriodicalId":507842,"journal":{"name":"Gastrointestinal Disorders","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141109610","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
