Article Synopsis
- This study examined how well Patient Blood Management (PBM) strategies are followed in treating patients with gastrointestinal bleeding across multiple hospitals in a nationwide setting from March 2019 to March 2021.
- A total of 450 patients were studied, showing high adherence rates of 90.9% for transfusions and 81.8% for iron supplementation, which correlated with better outcomes such as lower mortality risk.
- Overall, the research suggests that strict adherence to PBM strategies is safe and improves treatment results for patients suffering from GI bleeding.
Splenic infarction is a rare complication present in 7% of pancreatic inflammatory pathologies. This is justified by the close anatomical relationship between the pancreas and the splenic hilum. Although CT is considered the technique of choice for the diagnosis of this type of complications, the growing use of ultrasound in many digestive units, due to its accessibility and safety for patients, allows for early diagnosis and targeted treatment to prevent further complications.

- Researchers wanted to see how much people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) understood about other similar diseases they might have at the same time.
- They had 1,620 people fill out a questionnaire about 54 immune-related diseases and then checked their medical records to see if what they said was correct.
- They found that while many patients had other diseases, most didn't know about them well, especially those affecting bones and joints.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the effectiveness and safety of biological therapies for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in patients aged 65 and older, addressing a gap in existing research primarily focused on younger populations.
- A total of 1,090 elderly patients were included, with findings showing that a significant portion achieved clinical remission after treatment, particularly by the 52-week mark.
- Although the therapies were generally safe, there was a notable occurrence of oncological events, with variations in incidence rates depending on the specific treatment used.
The obesity pandemic is becoming one of the most prevalent diseases nowadays. There is a wide spectrum of treatment, ranging from hygienic-dietary measures to bariatric surgery. Endoscopic intragastric balloon placement is becoming increasingly more frequent, due to its technical simplicity, safety and short-term success(1).

Current guidelines recommend endoscopic surveillance, yet epidemiological studies show poor compliance. The aims of our study were to analyse adherence to endoscopic surveillance, its impact on advanced colorectal lesions, and risk factors of non-adherence.

Aim: To evaluate seroprevalence, seroconversion rate and complications associated with EBV infection in an adult IBD cohort attending a tertiary care hospital in Spain between 2006 and 2016.
Methods: EBV serological status was determined.
