Eosinophilic gastroenteritis: an uncommon cause of ascites.

Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is an uncommon, chronic, immune-mediated condition characterized by eosinophilic infiltration that can affect any segment of the gastrointestinal tract. Clinical manifestations depend on the different layers of the intestinal wall affected, which also allows its classification into three subtypes (Klein classification) (1): mucosal, which presents with abdominal pain, diarrhea, or vomiting; muscular, with obstruction or perforation; and serosal, classically with ascites. Diagnosis requires the demonstration of tissue eosinophilia with compatible clinical manifestations, after excluding other causes of eosinophilia.

Effect of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on colorectal cancer diagnosis and prognosis.

Background And Study Aims: Our aim was to determine the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on the diagnosis and prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC).

Patients And Methods: This prospective cohort study included individuals diagnosed with CRC between March 13, 2019 and June 20, 2021 across 21 Spanish hospitals. Two time periods were compared: prepandemic (from March 13, 2019 to March 13, 2020) and pandemic (from March 14, 2020 to June 20, 2021, lockdown period and 1 year after lockdown).

Small Bowel Enteroscopy - A Joint Clinical Guideline from the Spanish and Portuguese Small Bowel Study Groups.

The present evidence-based guidelines are focused on the use of device-assisted enteroscopy in the management of small-bowel diseases. A panel of experts selected by the Spanish and Portuguese small bowel study groups reviewed the available evidence focusing on the main indications of this technique, its role in the management algorithm of each indication and on its diagnostic and therapeutic yields. A set of recommendations were issued accordingly.
