Article Synopsis
- IBS is a chronic gastrointestinal disorder marked by abdominal pain and altered bowel habits, with limited first-line treatment options focused on specific symptoms.
- GASTRAP DIRECT is a new medical formulation combining chitin-glucan and simethicone, aimed at treating gas-related symptoms in IBS patients.
- In a 4-week trial with 120 IBS patients, 67% reported reduced abdominal pain, along with significant improvements in bloating, distension, and overall quality of life, showing promising efficacy of GASTRAP DIRECT.
Objectives: Few data are available to describe the changes in incidence of pediatric-onset inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The aim of this study was to describe changes in incidence and phenotypic presentation of pediatric-onset IBD in northern France during a 24-year period.
Methods: Pediatric-onset IBD (<17 years) was issued from a population-based IBD study in France between 1988 and 2011.
The authors present an unusual case of a transorbital penetrating injury of the internal carotid artery and brainstem. A young man accidentally ran into a 10-foot long citizens band (CB) antenna, and presented to the emergency department with nausea, dizziness and right periorbital ecchymosis. The nature and full extent of the injury were not appreciated at the time of initial examination and computed tomography scan.

Methods: Ten cases of EUS-FNA smears and LBC specimens of deep-seated pelvic masses were retrospectively collected from January 2001 to November 2006.
Results: Ten EUS-FNA specimen cases were SCC, eight corresponding to usual SCC and two to BC-variant.
