Article Synopsis
  • - Bladder cancer is the 10th most common cancer worldwide, and its incidence is on the rise, with radical cystectomy and urinary diversion being standard treatments for muscle-invasive cases.
  • - Urinary diversions are classified into two main types: non-continent (like cutaneous ureterostomy and ileal conduit) and continent, which can include options that require catheterization or allow for normal voiding.
  • - The review covers the technical details of various urinary diversion techniques, providing a thorough overview of the alternatives available after radical cystectomy.

Background: One-day low-residue diet (LRD) is recommended before colonoscopy, but only three single-center trials compared the 1-day versus 3-day LRD. The aim of this multicenter study was to compare the impact of a 3-day versus 1-day LRD on its ability to adequately and successfully prepare the bowel of outpatients that require a colonoscopy. The outpatients' tolerance and adherence to the LRD were also considered.

  • * The study suggests that changes in the gut microbiome may cause inflammation and contribute to CRC, with certain bacteria possibly linking obesity to a higher risk of developing the disease.

From 1985 to 2016, the prevalence of underweight decreased, and that of obesity and severe obesity increased, in most regions, with significant variation in the magnitude of these changes across regions. We investigated how much change in mean body mass index (BMI) explains changes in the prevalence of underweight, obesity, and severe obesity in different regions using data from 2896 population-based studies with 187 million participants. Changes in the prevalence of underweight and total obesity, and to a lesser extent severe obesity, are largely driven by shifts in the distribution of BMI, with smaller contributions from changes in the shape of the distribution.

BACKGROUND Endoscopic full-thickness resection represents an innovative procedure, used in selected patients that allows lesions en-bloc resection with an integral wall specimen available for histopathological definition. Bleeding and perforation are known to be the most frequent procedure-related adverse events. We report a case of entero-colonic fistula as complication of an endoscopic full-thickness resection.
