Background: Predicting fibrostenotic complications prior to endoscopy in eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is challenging and esophageal strictures and narrowing are commonly missed on endoscopy.
Aim: To develop and validate a score to predict fibrostenosis in EoE patients prior to endoscopy.
Methods: We leveraged a large database of newly diagnosed EoE patients.
Article Synopsis
- * A study of 289 adults showed that 58% had esophageal motility disorders, with various types identified, despite normal barium swallow results in half of these cases.
- * Specific rheumatic conditions affected the likelihood of esophageal dysmotility, with lower rates in those with psoriatic arthritis and varying odds for rheumatoid arthritis and scleroderma.
Article Synopsis
- Cannabis use is rising among people for both recreational and medical reasons, but there isn't much research on its effects in eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE).
- A study involved 983 newly diagnosed EoE patients, with 80 reporting cannabis use, mainly through inhalation and daily consumption.
- Findings indicated that cannabis users had milder initial symptoms but showed worse inflammatory responses after treatment compared to non-users, suggesting that cannabis may negatively affect EoE management.
