Introduction: Chronic nausea and vomiting are symptoms of a wide range of gastrointestinal and non-gastrointestinal conditions. Diagnosis can be challenging and requires a systematic and well-structured approach. If the initial investigation for structural, toxic and metabolic disorders is negative, digestive motility and gut-brain interaction disorders should be assessed.

This systematic review aims to comprehensively evaluate prognostic and predictive determinants in CRC, encompassing both traditional and emerging biomarkers. A systematic search of major electronic databases was conducted to identify relevant studies published from 1995 up to 2024.

- Amyloidosis is a group of diseases marked by faulty protein deposits that can impair organ function, particularly affecting the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
- Recent studies focus on diagnosing and treating GI amyloidosis, particularly from systemic amyloid light-chain (AL) and amyloid A (AA) types, with symptoms potentially including motility issues and severe complications like bowel obstruction.
- Diagnosing GI amyloidosis relies on endoscopic evaluations and biopsies, but challenges remain due to a lack of targeted therapies and vague symptom presentation.
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the European Union (EU), and while the mortality rates of diabetes, myocardial infarction, and the total fat intake have been extensively studied, we believe that understanding the interaction between such closely correlated determinants is crucial to the development of effective health policies in the EU. Our paper's novelty is represented by the econometric modelling, and its ability to capture both temporal and unit variations. The research methodology consists of using a panel data model with fixed effects for the 27 EU member states over the period 2010-2021.

- * Risk factors for SVT include varicose veins, but other underlying issues like cancers or blood disorders may be present, especially in non-varicose veins.
- * Diagnosis often requires duplex ultrasound (DUS) to determine the clot's characteristics, and treatment usually focuses on medical management, including anticoagulation and symptom relief, with more invasive approaches reserved for severe cases.
