Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of self-expanding metallic stents (SEMS) and trans-anal colorectal tubes (TCT) as treatments for non-right-sided obstructive colon cancer (NROCC).
- The study reviewed 239 patients who underwent surgery, ultimately including 180 after matching for baseline characteristics, and found no significant differences in short-term outcomes like morbidity and mortality between SEMS and TCT.
- However, SEMS demonstrated higher success rates for primary surgery without a stoma and laparoscopic procedures, while both treatments had similar long-term survival rates after five years.
Background: We had previously reported that the administration of Gastrografin through a nasogastric tube (NGT-G) followed by long tube (LT) strategy could be a novel standard treatment for adhesive small bowel obstruction (ASBO); however, the long-term outcomes after initial improvement remain unknown. This study aimed to analyze the long-term outcomes of first-line NGT-G.
Methods: Enrolled patients with ASBO were randomly assigned to receive LT or NGT-G between July 2016 and November 2018.
Purpose: Endoscopic clipping closure after colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) did not reduce the incidence of post-ESD coagulation syndrome (PECS) in our recent randomized controlled trial (RCT); however, the definition of PECS is still controversial. The aim of this study is to establish optimal definition of PECS with additional analysis of RCT based on another definition.
Methods: In this multicenter, single-blind RCT, individuals were randomly assigned to colorectal ESD followed by endoscopic clipping closure or non-closure.
Background: Gastrointestinal decompression is generally applied to a non-strangulated acute small bowel obstruction (NSASBO). Although long tube (LT) placement and administration of Gastrografin through a nasogastric tube (NGT-G) have shown advantages over NGT alone in previous studies, no studies appear to have compared LT and NGT-G.
Methods: In this multicenter, randomized controlled trial, patients with NSASBO were randomly assigned to receive LT or NGT-G between July 2016 and November 2018 at 11 Japanese institutions.
Article Synopsis
- Some people can get a condition called PECS after a procedure to remove parts of the colon, which causes belly pain and inflammation.
- A study tried to see if using clips to close the area after removal would help prevent PECS and a related problem called delayed perforation.
- The study found that using the clips didn’t reduce the number of people who got PECS or delayed perforation, so it might not be very helpful.
Herein, we describe a rare case of refractory gastric antral ulcers. A woman in her 50 s was admitted to Nagoya City University Hospital with epigastric pain after being diagnosed with gastric antral submucosal tumor at another hospital. Findings from esophagogastroduodenoscopy and endoscopic ultrasound examination revealed that the lesion was a gastric ulcer.

Hence, we conducted this study using urine samples to discover non-invasive biomarkers for the incurability of gastric cancer (GC). Urine samples from 111 GC patients were analyzed in this study.
