Article Synopsis
- A 39-year-old woman with a history of Crohn’s disease experiences severe abdominal pain, vomiting, and bloating, hinting at a complication from a previously ingested dental post and crown.
- Imaging confirms bowel obstruction, and tests reveal significant ileal stenosis along with the presence of the dental foreign body.
- Due to her history of Crohn’s disease and concerns about further complications, surgical intervention is performed, resulting in an uneventful ileocecal resection and removal of the foreign body.
Background And Aim: The role of capsule endoscopy (CE) in established celiac disease (CD) remains unclear. Our objective was to analyze the usefulness of CE in the suspicion of complicated CD.
Methods: This was a retrospective multicenter study.
Aim: To analyze the diagnostic yield (DY), therapeutic impact (TI) and safety of capsule endoscopy (CE).
Methods: This is a multi-centre, observational, analytical, retrospective study. A total of 163 patients with suspicion of celiac disease (CD) (mean age = 46.
Introduction: A high percentage of older patients with early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are potential candidates for percutaneous ablation.
Material And Methods: We prospectively assessed data from patients older than 70 years with HCC. We determined their demographic and clinical characteristics, the treatment provided and the response, complications and survival among those treated with radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and/or percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI).
