AI Article Synopsis

  • Gastrointestinal endoscopy is crucial for diagnosing and treating inflammatory bowel disease and its complications, such as strictures and hemorrhage.
  • Endoscopic methods can effectively address intestinal strictures and other complications, although challenges arise with conditions like Crohn's disease and previous surgeries.
  • Intraoperative enteroscopy is presented as a practical solution for diagnosing and managing issues in the small intestine.

Article Abstract

Gastrointestinal endoscopy provides detailed information for diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and disease monitoring and delivers therapy for inflammatory bowel disease. Inflammatory bowel diseases are associated with complications such as strictures, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, fistula, perforation, and abscesses. Endoscopic intervention is a valid therapeutic modality for intestinal strictures and other morbidities. The multisegmental involvement of Crohn's disease, surgically altered bowel anatomy, and the postoperative extensive adhesions have made conventional diagnostic and therapeutic enteroscopy difficult. Intraoperative enteroscopy offers a feasible option for diagnosis and therapy. We report intraoperative enteroscopy in the management of small intestinal strictures and other intestinal morbidities.

Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a significant preventable cause of postoperative morbidity and mortality after major abdominopelvic surgery that calls for extended VTE prophylaxis (eVTEp). Literature suggests that significant racial disparities may exist in post-operative care.

Objective: The study sought to examine if racial disparities exist in the administration of eVTEp after hysterectomy in a statewide collaborative.

Objectives: This study aims to elucidate the microbial signatures associated with autoimmune diseases, particularly systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), compared with colorectal cancer (CRC), to identify unique biomarkers and shared microbial mechanisms that could inform specific treatment protocols.

Methods: We analysed metagenomic datasets from patient cohorts with six autoimmune conditions-SLE, IBD, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, Graves' disease and ankylosing spondylitis-contrasting these with CRC metagenomes to delineate disease-specific microbial profiles. The study focused on identifying predictive biomarkers from species profiles and functional genes, integrating protein-protein interaction analyses to explore effector-like proteins and their targets in key signalling pathways.

Previous studies have demonstrated that individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) experience distinct symptom clusters and generally have a lower quality of life compared to the general population. Rumination refers to the persistent and repetitive contemplation of the causes, consequences, and intricate details of a negative and stressful event. The multiple symptom clusters of IBD cause great distress, physical and financial stress, and thus may increase the level of rumination in patients.

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic disease that includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Studies found that 40-60% of women diagnosed with IBD have sexual dysfunction (SD).

Aims: To determine SD and associated factors in women with IBD.
