- Intrabolus Pressure Has Better Correlation Than Eosinophilia with Dysphagia Severity in Fibrostenotic Eosinophilic Esophagitis: A Pilot Study
Eosinophilic esophagitis is characterized by dysphagia with esophageal eosinophilia. We sought to determine if intrabolus pressure measurements on high-resolution manometry had any correlation with dy... Read More
- CCR6CCL20-Mediated Immunologic Pathways in Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has evoked significant interest in human immunobiology given its tactical immune evasion methodologies resulting in acute immune destabilization. IBD comprising Crohn... Read More
- Assessment of the Acute Effects of Carbonated Beverage Consumption on Symptoms and Objective Markers of Gastric Reflux
Previous studies have suggested that carbonated beverages may cause gastro-oesophageal reflux. Pepsin (the major enzyme secreted by the stomach) has been suggested to be an objective, acute marker of ... Read More
- Regulation of Antimicrobial Pathways by Endogenous Heat Shock Proteins in Gastrointestinal Disorders
Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are essential mediators of cellular homeostasis by maintaining protein functionality and stability, and activating appropriate immune cells. HSP activity is influenced by a ... Read More
- CCR6CCL20 Axis in IBD: What Have We Learnt in the Last 20 Years
CC chemokine receptor 6 (CCR6) and its specific partner CC chemokine ligand 20 (CCL20) are known to play a pivotal role in intestinal inflammation. CCR6-associated inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is ... Read More
- The Multifactorial Etiopathogeneses Interplay of Inflammatory Bowel Disease: An Overview
The gastrointestinal system where inflammatory bowel disease occurs is central to the immune system where the innate and the adaptive/acquired immune systems are balanced in interactions with gut micr... Read More
- Characteristics and Clinical Outcomes of Individuals at High Risk for Pancreatic Cancer: A Descriptive Analysis from a Comprehensive Cancer Center
Pancreatic cancer (PC), a leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States, is typically diagnosed at an advanced stage. To improve survival, there is an unmet need to detect pre-malignant ... Read More
- Paradigm Shift of Healthcare Cost for Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases: A Claims Data-Based Analysis in Japan
Anti-tumor necrosis factor- (anti-TNF) agents are used for induction and maintenance of remission in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). However, biologic drugs present a large economic... Read More
- Pathogenesis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Basic Science in the Light of Real-World Epidemiology
Major advances in the last few decades have favored the view of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) as a disease of hyper- or, more often, paradoxical hyporesponsiveness of the gut-associated immune syst... Read More
- Histopathology of Barretts Esophagus and Early-Stage Esophageal Adenocarcinoma: An Updated Review
Esophageal adenocarcinoma carries a very poor prognosis. For this reason, it is critical to have cost-effective surveillance and prevention strategies and early and accurate diagnosis, as well as evid... Read More
- Endoscopic Botulinum Toxin for Gastroparesis: Results of a Retrospective Series
Beneficial effects of pyloric botulinum toxin injection have been described in a subgroup of gastroparesis patients. Our aim is to evaluate whether clinical, manometric and/or scintigraphic parameters... Read More
- The Evolving Role of Mucosal Histology in the Evaluation of Pediatric Functional Dyspepsia: A Review
Although not required to establish the diagnosis, endoscopy with mucosal biopsy is commonly performed in the evaluation of children with dyspepsia. Traditionally, esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) has ... Read More
- Inhibition of Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase-1 Activity Suppressed SREBP Signaling in Colon Cancer Cells and Their Spheroid Growth
Unsaturated fatty acids are critical in promoting colon tumorigenesis and its stemness. Stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 (SCD1) is a rate-limiting lipid desaturase associated with colon cancer cell prolifera... Read More
- Sarcopenia Is Associated with Postoperative Outcome in Patients with Crohns Disease Undergoing Bowel Resection
Sarcopenia is as an important prognostic factor in inflammatory bowel disease. In patients with Crohns disease (CD), sarcopenia has impact on morbidity after surgical resection. Aim: Evaluate sarcope... Read More
- Determination of Tumor Location in Rectosigmoid Carcinomas: Difficulties in Preoperative Diagnostics
Differentiation between rectal and sigmoid carcinomas is a diagnostic challenge with important implications for further treatment. Depending on the tumor stage, treatment for rectal carcinoma consists... Read More
- The Predictive Factors of Responsiveness to Proton Pump Inhibitor Therapy for Eosinophilic Esophagitis
Approximately half of patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) respond clinically and histologically to proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy. Although recent guidelines suggest that PPI-responders ... Read More
- The Role of Vitamin D in the Pathogenesis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease
