Diagnostic yield of upper gastrointestinal tract endoscopy and colonoscopy in patients with iron deficiency anaemia while on direct oral anticoagulants.
Intern Med J
December 2024
Internal Medicine Services, The Prince Charles Hospital, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
Background: Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) related to occult gastrointestinal tract (GIT) blood loss is associated with high rates of GIT malignancies. Major society guidelines recommend bidirectional endoscopic evaluation for all men and post-menopausal women with newly diagnosed, unexplained IDA. However, in patients prescribed direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), the endoscopic yield, specifically the rate of high-risk findings, including colorectal cancers (CRCs) and advanced adenomas (AAs), is unknown.

Article Synopsis
- Two patients developed severe hypophosphatemia requiring hospitalization after denosumab treatment for osteoporosis, despite having normal kidney function and no known risk factors.
- Both patients experienced neurological symptoms and severe fatigue, which improved with intravenous phosphate treatment, and they left the hospital with oral phosphate and vitamin D supplements.
- As denosumab use increases, it's important to monitor serum phosphate and related levels regularly, and to consider hypophosphatemia as a potential issue when patients report unexplained fatigue or muscle problems.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) shows sex differences in the pathophysiology, epidemiology, and clinical presentation. Women have different characteristics of OSA at different life stages. Based on 26 guidelines and consensus, 121 English literatures, and 24 Chinese literatures, the Sleep Disorder Group of Chinese Thoracic Society has drafted a consensus with multidisciplinary experts to summarize the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of OSA in women at different life stages, particularly issues related to OSA during pregnancy.

Iron deficiency is the most common extraintestinal sign of colonic neoplasia, including colorectal cancer (CRC) and other lower gastrointestinal pathology. Both upper endoscopy and colonoscopy is usually recommended in the work-up of patients with unexplained iron deficiency, particularly in men and postmenopausal women. As the incidence of early-onset CRC (age <50 years) rises in the United States, there is an increasing need to identify risk predictors to aid in the early detection of CRC.
