Prospective comparative study of the treatment of Helicobacter pylori with antibiotic susceptibility testing-guided triple therapy compared to quadruple therapy with bismuth-metronidazole-tetracycline subcitrate.

Introduction: the current indicated first-line treatment for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is the quadruple therapy with bismuth (Pylera®), or the quadruple concomitant therapy without bismuth. The triple therapy was abandoned due to its low eradication rates, partly derived from an increase in antibiotic resistance.

Sweet syndrome in severe ulcerative flare.

Sweet Syndrome or Acute Febrile Neutrophilic Dermatosis is an uncommon extraintestinal manifestation of inflammatory bowel disease, also related with other pathologies. Its diagnosis is anatomopathological and presents a good evolution with the treatment of the underlying disease.

Luetic gastritis: an uncommon cause of gastritis.

A 41-year-old patient presented to the Dermatology clinic with a papular rash on the trunk and orange-colored maculopapular lesions on the soles of both feet. This was associated with general symptoms including myalgia, fatigue, epigastric pain, nausea and vomiting. The patient had been taking omeprazole and cinitapride with little improvement.

Satisfaction with care in colorectal cancer patients: inpatient versus outpatient study.

Background: satisfaction with healthcare is focused on the patient and is known as "patient-centered care". However, user satisfaction is not always synonymous with good care. Healthcare practitioners should determine and understand what patients need and expect in order to improve the quality of care.

Severe cardiorespiratory complications derived from propofol sedation monitored by an endoscopist.

Introduction: deep sedation with propofol monitored by an endoscopist in different endoscopy units is a controversial subject and the source of conflicts of interest between the various scientific societies of Anesthesiology and Gastroenterology. Many studies have already demonstrated the efficacy, efficiency and low incidence of complications associated with sedation when under the control of a trained endoscopist vs an anesthesiologist.

Material And Methods: the rate of severe cardiorespiratory complications during various endoscopic examinations (gastroscopy, colonoscopy, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography [ERCP] and endoscopic ultrasound [EUS]) where sedation was controlled by an endoscopist within our unit, from 2011 to 2016, was reviewed.

Infarction of the greater omentum. Case report.

The case of a 65 year old woman presented symptoms of acute abdomen secondary to full torsion of the greater omentum is presented, diagnosed preoperatively by CT, thus avoiding emergency surgery due to good evolution with conservative attitude. This disease is a rare cause of abdominal pain, but we include it in the differential diagnosis of acute abdomen. Currently imaging techniques allow preoperative diagnosis to avoid emergency surgery, and maintain an expectant attitude to act on patient evolution.
