Remimazolam for procedural sedation in gastrointestinal endoscopy: real-life, single center observational study.
BMC Gastroenterol
January 2025
Gastroenterology and Digestive Endoscopy Unit, Azienda Ospedaliero Universitaria Modena, Modena, Italy.
Background And Aim: Remimazolam has proved to be a very promising sedative drug in randomized clinical trials for usage in a wide spectrum of patients, including critically ill ones. The purpose of our study was to verify efficacy and safety of remimazolam for procedural sedation during diagnostic and first level operative endoscopy in a real-world setting.
Methods: This single centre prospective study evaluated sedation regimen with remimazolam for EGDS and fentanyl and remimazolam for colonoscopy in consecutive ASA 1-3 patients.
Diagnostic cholangioscopy for surgical planning of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.

The recent clinical outcomes of multi-regimen chemotherapy included prolonged survival and a high rate of conversion to surgery in Asian patients with advanced biliary tract cancer. The ability of single-operator cholangioscopy (SOC) to detect and stage extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (CCC) in intraductal lesions is becoming more important in determining the extent of surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of SOC in surgical planning for extrahepatic CCC.

Access to advanced medical procedures, such as gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy, is critical for effective healthcare. In Sub-Saharan Africa, including Sudan, GI endoscopy services remain limited, posing significant barriers to early diagnosis and treatment of GI diseases. Expanding GI endoscopy services in Sudan and other regions of Sub-Saharan Africa is crucial to improve early detection, reduce mortality, and increase the cost-effectiveness of healthcare delivery.

This review provides a comprehensive update on the diagnostic approaches to chronic pancreatitis (CP), emphasizing recent advancements in imaging techniques, biomarker research, and multivariable scoring systems. Despite substantial progress in these areas, current diagnostic algorithms have limitations, particularly for early and non-calcific CP. Traditional criteria have focused on classic diagnostic signs, but "minimal change" CP is increasingly recognized through advanced imaging and function tests.

Recurrent acute pancreatitis (RAP) is a complex syndrome that presents variably, with many cases remaining idiopathic after thorough diagnostics. For evaluating structural etiologies, endoscopic ultrasound and MR cholangiopancreatography are preferred over endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) given their more favorable risk profile and sensitivity. The diagnostic work-up remains paramount since treatment should focus on addressing underlying causes such as early cholecystectomy for gallstone pancreatitis.
