Objective: In this clinical study, chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX) was chosen as the positive control group, and the clinical and biochemical efficacy of mouthwashes with green tea, white tea and essential oil (EO) as the active ingredients were aimed to be examined comprehensively.
Methods: A total of 112 participants with gingivitis were randomly assigned to four different groups and different mouthwashes were used for 4 weeks: CHX-MW group (as a positive control group), EO-MW group, GT-MW group and WT-MW group. The effects of the mouthwashes on plaque, inflammation and dental staining were evaluated by indexed scores at the beginning and 4th week.
Introduction: The evolving landscape of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) necessitates refining colonoscopic surveillance guidelines. This study outlines methodology adopted by the British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG) Guideline Development Group (GDG) for updating IBD colorectal surveillance guidelines.
Methods And Analysis: The 'Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation' (GRADE) approach, as outlined in the GRADE handbook, was employed.
Article Synopsis
- * Small-bowel endoscopy is crucial for diagnosing and managing NETs, working alongside other tools like biomarkers and imaging techniques.
- * This approach can also aid in preoperative planning by locating tumors for surgery and addressing complications like variceal bleeding linked to NETs.
Introduction: Restorative proctocolectomy (RPC) and total colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis (TC-IRA) are traditional surgical options for individuals with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). Re-appraisal and modification to these techniques, such as near-total colectomy with ileo-distal sigmoid anastomosis (NT-IDSA) and RPC with robotic intracorporeal single-stapled anastomosis (RPC-RiSSA), have been implemented in recent years. This study aimed to evaluate the early postoperative outcomes associated with novel techniques employed in a single centre for restorative surgery in patients with FAP.

- - The study aimed to estimate the 10-year risk of rectal cancer in patients who had subtotal colectomy, revealing a low cumulative incidence of 0.26% at 5 years, 0.49% at 10 years, and 0.77% at 15 years.
- - Factors associated with an increased risk of rectal cancer included previous colonic dysplasia, primary sclerosing cholangitis, and history of elective colectomy.
- - A significant decline in endoscopic surveillance procedures was observed during 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with only 333 procedures performed compared to 585 in 2019.
