Objective: To analyze the immediate and long-term results of simultaneous surgical treatment in patients with upper gastrointestinal cancer and cardiovascular diseases.

Material And Methods: There were 9 patients with upper gastrointestinal cancer and cardiovascular diseases who underwent simultaneous surgical treatment. We assessed safety and efficacy of this approach. Mean age of patients was 65.7±5.7 years. Coronary artery disease was diagnosed in 3 patients, aortic valve disease - 1 patient, abdominal aortic aneurysm - 2; 4 patients suffered from isolated mitral valve disease, stenosis of the left vertebral artery, internal and external carotid arteries and Leriche syndrome.

Results: Considering immediate and long-term postoperative results, we can emphasize advisability of simultaneous surgeries in appropriate patients.

Introduction: We assessed potential mechanisms behind the requirement for more frequent dupilumab dosing in eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) compared with other approved indications.

Methods: Results for the phase 3 LIBERTY EoE TREET study coprimary endpoints (proportion of patients achieving a peak intraepithelial eosinophil count of ≤6 eosinophils per high-power field and absolute change from baseline in Dysphagia Symptom Questionnaire total score) were pooled in exposure-response analyses.

Results: A steep initial relationship then plateau was observed between higher dupilumab steady-state trough concentrations and decreased eosinophilic infiltration at week 24, whereas a graded exposure-response relationship was observed for symptomatic improvement at week 24.

Introduction: The performance of a high quality esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is dependent on the mucosal cleanliness. Recently, the Polprep: Effective Assessment of Cleanliness in EGD (PEACE) scale was created to assess the degree of mucosal cleanliness during EGD. The aim of this study was to validate this scoring system in a cohort of international endoscopists.

Background: Endoscopic treatment for second primary malignancies after esophagectomy has been increasingly performed; however, evidence regarding the outcomes of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for superficial cancer of the remnant esophagus after esophagectomy (SCREE) is limited.

Methods: We retrospectively extracted cases of ESD for SCREE from our institutional database, which included 739 consecutive esophageal ESD procedures performed between January 2009 and September 2023. Information on prior treatment, clinical features of the lesions, and outcomes was evaluated.

Preference for On-Demand Fexuprazan Therapy in Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease: A Prospective Cohort Study.

J Pers Med

January 2025

Department of Internal Medicine, Hanyang University Guri Hospital, Hanyang University College of Medicine, Guri 11923, Republic of Korea.

Maintenance therapy is crucial in managing and preventing symptom relapse in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), with continuous and on-demand therapy being the common approaches. However, maintenance therapy using potassium-competitive acid blockers (P-CABs), such as fexuprazan, remains incompletely evaluated. This single-center, single-arm, prospective cohort study enrolled individuals with weekly heartburn or acid regurgitation and confirmed erosive esophagitis.
