Advanced endoscopic imaging for gastric cancer assessment: new insights with new optics?

2014

The most immediate strategy for improving survival of gastric cancer patients is secondary prevention through diagnosis of early gastric cancer either through screening or follow-up of individuals at high risk. Endoscopy examination is therefore of paramount importance and two general steps are to be known in assessing gastric mucosa - detection and characterization. Over the past decade, the advent of advanced endoscopic imaging technology led to diverse descriptions of these modalities reporting them to be useful in this setting. In this review, we aim at summarizing the current evidence on the use of advance imaging in individuals at high-risk (i.e., advance stages of gastric atrophy/int…

Coloscopie virtuelle — par tomodensitométrie (CTDM) et résonance magnétique (CRM) — dans la détection des polypes coliques et des lésions néoplasiques

2005

Tant chez l’homme que chez la femme, le cancer colorectal (CCR) constitue la deuxieme cause de deces dans les pays occidentaux. Par consequent, le depistage du cancer colorectal et de ses precurseurs est un important probleme de sante publique. L’utilisation de la coloscopie par tomodensitometrie computee (CTDM) et par resonance magnetique (CRM), mieux connue sous l’appellation coloscopie virtuelle, rencontre un succes populaire croissant. Le present article a pour but de passer en revue les donnees de la litterature, d’etablir l’etat actuel de la coloscopie virtuelle, et de predire son impact potentiel sur la pratique actuelle et future en gastro-enterologie.

Primary intestinal lymphangiectasia (PIL) is a rare disorder, especially in adults. It causes a local disruption of chylus transport and is part of the exudative gastroenteropathies. Conservative therapy includes dietary measures or somatostatin medication. Taking the differential diagnosis of PIL into consideration is a major challenge, since patients suffering from PIL may present with diarrhoea and lymphedema or chylous ascites. This can be explained by the chronic lymphedema of the bowel leading to dilation of the vessels (intraluminal loss) and sometimes even to a rupture (peritoneal loss). Push–pull enteroscopy and capsule endoscopy are the proper interventional diagnostic tools to di…

Surgical Antimicrobial Prophylaxis in Abdominal Surgery for Neonates and Paediatrics: A RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method Consensus Study.

2022

Surgical site infections (SSIs), i.e., surgery-related infections that occur within 30 days after surgery without an implant and within one year if an implant is placed, complicate surgical procedures in up to 10% of cases, but an underestimation of the data is possible since about 50% of SSIs occur after the hospital discharge. Gastrointestinal surgical procedures are among the surgical procedures with the highest risk of SSIs, especially when colon surgery is considered. Data that were collected from children seem to indicate that the risk of SSIs can be higher than in adults. This consensus document describes the use of preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis in neonates and children that ar…
