Successful management of eosinophilic esophagitis with mometasone: an unusual therapeutic approach.

Eosinophilic esophagitis is a chronic, immune-mediated esophageal condition characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of the esophageal mucosa. This report discusses the case of a patient with EoE who showed significant clinical and histological improvement following treatment with mometasone, a corticosteroid rare used for this disease. Mometasone has shown promise due to its enhanced mucosal absorption and potent anti-inflammatory properties.

In-hospital and delayed mortality in patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding on antithrombotic treatment: effects of withdrawal and resuming.

Background: Antithrombotic drugs pose a dual challenge to acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding, with associated risks of bleeding complications and thromboembolic events upon withdrawal. We aimed to determine the impact of antithrombotic medications on in-hospital and delayed outcomes and whether suspension and resumption influenced delayed mortality.

Methods: This study was a prospective registry analysis of patients between 2013-2021.

Risk factors for massive gastrointestinal bleeding occurrence and mortality: A prospective single-center study.

Background: Massive gastrointestinal bleeding is a life-threatening condition without a well-established definition. We aimed to analyze the characteristics, risk factors, and outcomes of patients with massive upper gastrointestinal bleeding.

Methods: Our study analyzed a prospective registry of patients admitted between 2013 and 2020 with variceal and non-variceal causes.

Performance of the New ABC and MAP(ASH) Scores in the Prediction of Relevant Outcomes in Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding.

: Several risk scores have been proposed for risk-stratification of patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding. ABC score was found more accurate predicting mortality than AIMS65. MAP(ASH) is a simple, pre-endoscopy score with a great ability to predict intervention and mortality.

Intestinal-type gastric adenocarcinoma in a patient with ataxia-telangiectasia syndrome.

We introduce a 20-year-old patient, with prior diagnosis of ataxia-telangiectasia syndrome, urgently assesed because of an upper gastrointestinal bleeding, identifying in the urgent endoscopy an intestinal-type gastric adenocarcinoma as its origin.
