Risk stratifying patients with non-varicosic upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage using the Glasgow-Blatchford score: A case series of 91 patients.

Introduction: Non-variceal upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage (NVUGIH) often leads to systematic hospitalization and emergency endoscopy. However, in most cases, it does not constitute an immediate life threat. This study aimed to evaluate the Glasgow-Blatchford Score (GBS) in predicting the need for transfusions, and/or endoscopic or surgical treatments.

Complex perianal fistulas in Crohn's disease: An anti-TNF α based medico-surgical treatment with magnetic imaging assessment.

Background: Anti-TNFα associated to seton drainage has a central role in the treatment of complex perineal Crohn's fistulas (PAF). A precise treatment protocol is lacking.

Aims: to evaluate the results of this combined treatment and identify predictive factors of response.
