Colonic tubular adenoma with incidental oxyntic gastric heterotopia.

Oxyntic gastric heterotopia (GH) in the colon is not common. Its presence in a colon tubular adenoma is even rare. A 73-year-old woman with a history of resected colon carcinoma underwent periodical colonoscopies for the removal of tubular adenomas for 12 years.

Endoscopy-Related Bleeding and Thromboembolic Events in Patients on Direct Oral Anticoagulants or Vitamin K Antagonists.

Background & Aims: Few prospective studies have assessed the safety of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in elective endoscopy. Our primary aim was to compare the risks of endoscopy-related gastrointestinal bleeding and thromboembolic events in patients on DOACs or vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) in this setting. Secondarily, we examined the impact of the timing of anticoagulant resumption on the risk of delayed bleeding in high-risk therapeutic procedures.

Diabetes is not associated with an increased risk of hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with alcoholic or hepatitis C virus cirrhosis.

Background And Aims: diabetes has been reported as a risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in population-based studies but there are controversial data in patients with cirrhosis. Metformin could have a protective role in HCC development. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of diabetes on the risk of developing HCC in patients with alcohol- and hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related cirrhosis.

Management and Outcomes of Bleeding Within 30 Days of Colonic Polypectomy in a Large, Real-Life, Multicenter Cohort Study.

Background & Aims: Management of delayed (within 30 days) postpolypectomy bleeding (DPPB) has not been standardized. Patients often undergo colonoscopies that do not provide any benefit. We aimed to identify factors associated with therapeutic intervention and active bleeding after DPPB.

Idiopathic acute pancreatitis in patients with inflammatory bowel disease: A multicenter cohort study.

Background: Idiopathic acute pancreatitis (IAP) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is not well characterized. Our purpose was to better understand this condition and its natural history.

Methods: Retrospective cohort study conducted at nine Spanish IBD referral centers.

Efficacy and safety of the SB Knife™ Jr. for the treatment of Zenker's diverticulum: a case series.

Background And Aims: the stag-beetle knife is a new scissor-like endoscopic device that can be used for the treatment of Zenker's diverticulum, although experience is limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the SB Knife™ for the endoscopic treatment of Zenker's diverticulum.

Methods: a single-center prospective study of 16 patients was performed between May 2017 and April 2019.

A multicentric Spanish study on the characteristics and survival of gastric adenocarcinoma under the age of 60.

Introduction: In Europe, gastric adenocarcinoma (GADC) is commonly regarded as a disease of the elderly. This study aims to assess the proportion, characteristics, and survival of patients diagnosed with GADC under the age of 60.

Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective, multicentric, and analytical study conducted at four tertiary Spanish hospitals.

Characteristics and consequences of missed gastric cancer: A multicentric cohort study.

Background: Missed gastric cancer (MGC) is poorly documented in Mediterranean populations.

Aims: (1) To assess the rate, predictors and survival of MGC. (2) To compare MGC and non-MGC tumors.

Limited effectiveness with a 10-day bismuth-containing quadruple therapy (Pylera ) in third-line recue treatment for Helicobacter pylori infection. A real-life multicenter study.

Background: Helicobacter pylori antibiotic resistance is an increasing problem worldwide. Pylera may be an option as salvage therapy.

Aim: To assess the effectiveness, safety, and tolerance of Pylera as a third-line in clinical practice.
