COVID-19 vaccination is safe and effective in patients with inflammatory bowel disease: Analysis of a large multi-institutional research network in United States.
Evidence-based management of HCC: Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (2002-2020)
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality with a rapidly changing landscape of treatments. In the past 20 years, numerous randomized controlled trials (RCT) have aimed at improving outcomes across disease stages. We … Continue reading
Faecal microbiota transplantation influences procarcinogenic Escherichia coli in recipient recurrent Clostridioides difficile patients
Patients suffering from multiple recurrent Clostridioides difficile infections (rCDI) have a disturbed gut microbiota, which can be restored by faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT). Despite extensive screening, healthy faeces donors may carry bacter… Continue reading
The various cost of endoscopic surveillance may affect the follow-up endpoint identified by cost-benefit analysis in Barrett’s esophagus patients around the world
BRIEF COMMUNICATION: Does High Inflammatory Diet Increase Risk of Inflammatory Bowel Disease? Results from the Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiology (PURE) study: A Prospective Cohort Study
Early-age onset colorectal neoplasia in average risk individuals undergoing screening colonoscopy: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Incidence and mortality associated with early age onset colorectal cancer (EAO-CRC) is increasing, prompting professional society recommendations to lower the screening age in average risk individuals. The yield of screening individuals Continue reading
EUS-GUIDED FINE-NEEDLE BIOPSY WITH OR WITHOUT RAPID ON-SITE EVALUATION FOR DIAGNOSIS OF SOLID PANCREATIC LESIONS: A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED NON-INFERIORITY TRIAL
Benefit of rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) on diagnostic accuracy of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) has never been evaluated in a randomized study. This trial aimed to test the hypothesis that in solid pancreatic lesions (SPL… Continue reading
Circular RNA circHIPK3 promotes homeostasis of the intestinal epithelium by reducing miR-29b function
S: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of endogenous noncoding RNAs that form covalently closed circles. Although circRNAs influence many biological processes, little is known about their role in intestinal epithelium homeostasis. We surveyed circRNAs… Continue reading
A pilot study on automatic 3D quantification of Barrett’s esophagus for risk stratification and therapy monitoring
Barrett’s epithelium measurement using widely accepted Prague C&M classification is highly operator dependent. We propose a novel methodology for measuring this risk score automatically. The method also enables quantification of the area of Barrett’s e… Continue reading
Early-life microbial restitution reduces colitis risk promoted by antibiotic-induced gut dysbiosis in IL-10-/- mice
Perturbations in the early life gut microbiome are associated with increased risk for complex immune disorders like inflammatory bowel diseases. We previously showed maternal antibiotic-induced gut dysbiosis vertically transmitted to offspring increase… Continue reading
