Article Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the clinical, therapeutic, and evolutionary characteristics of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) that is associated with gastroparesis. We have systematically researched articles published in Pubmed, MEDLINE, LILACS, and Scielo dating from 1966 to April 2020. All the researched articles are based on gastroparesis and SLE in the following literature: English, Chinese, and Japanese. We obtained five cases of SLE associated with gastroparesis. There are three case reports included and two retrospective epidemiological studies where the clinical data are not detailed. Of the case reports, all of them were females aged between 27 and 58 years. All of them showed symptoms of nausea and vomiting. Abdominal pain and weight loss were reported in the only two-third of the cases. Only one case showed early satiety. All the cases were tested positive for antinuclear antibodies and anti-dsDNA antibodies at the time of gastroparesis. In all the cases, scintigraphy was performed to check gastric emptying. This is the gold standard for diagnosing gastroparesis. Concerning therapy used, three-third of the cases received glucocorticoids 1 mg/kg daily. In two-third of the cases, azathioprine was used. Before starting the corticosteroids therapy, all the cases received antibiotics and motility stimulants with poor outcomes. The early diagnosis of gastroparesis with SLE must be rapid so that the therapy can be initiated promptly. Due to the severity of the condition that may result in nausea, abdominal pains, and satiety, using endoscopy and gastric emptying scintigraphy is fundamental.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are emerging as an important class of drugs in the management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. There are rising concerns of pulmonary aspiration with these medications due to drug-induced gastroparesis. While definitive association is uncertain, it is essential to be prudent and manage these patients as per the current evidence and recommendations.

Objective: This study utilized a sample of trangender, nonbinary, and gender-diverse (TGD) patients to build on emerging literature that suggests that hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome may be overrepresented in TGD populations. The objective of this retrospective chart review was to determine the prevalence of hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome syndrome at a gender-affirming primary care clinic.

Methods: A retrospective chart review of medical records was conducted with records between May 2021 and June 2024.

Background: Gastroparesis following complete mesocolic excision (CME) can precipitate a cascade of severe complications, which may significantly hinder postoperative recovery and diminish the patient's quality of life. In the present study, four advanced machine learning algorithms-Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and -nearest neighbor (KNN)-were employed to develop predictive models. The clinical data of critically ill patients transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU) post-CME were meticulously analyzed to identify key risk factors associated with the development of gastroparesis.

Background: Diabetic patients may have neuropathy-induced gastroparesis predisposing them to aspiration. Point-of-care gastric ultrasonography (GUSG) is useful in the qualitative assessment of the antrum and quantitative prediction of gastric volume (GV) in diabetic patients. In this study, we compared the GUSG findings between fasting diabetic and non-diabetic patients in the elective preoperative setting.

Background And Aims: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1RAs) can cause delayed gastric emptying, raising concern for retained gastric contents (RGCs) during endoscopy and adverse anesthesia events. We aimed to determine associations between GLP1RA and endoscopy and anesthesia outcomes.

Methods: This single-center retrospective cohort study examined patients prescribed GLP1RA who underwent outpatient endoscopy stratified by exposure at the time of endoscopy.
