Association between bile area in the duodenal bulb and abdominal symptoms: Quantitative analysis using blue laser imaging.

Bile acids are strongly associated with the pathogenesis of functional gastrointestinal diseases. In recent years, blue laser imaging (BLI) endoscopy has emerged as a novel image-enhanced endoscopic method, which illustrates bile as a reddish hue. The present study investigated the factors that affect the area of bile in duodenal bulbs using BLI. For this purpose, patients (356 cases) who underwent upper endoscopy with BLI between April, 2017 and December, 2019, and completed patient background and symptom questionnaires [Constipation Scoring System (CSS), Bristol Stool Form Scale (BSFS) and F

Treating Lows: Management of Orthostatic Hypotension.

AbstractOrthostatic hypotension is a prevalent clinical condition, caused by heterogenous etiologies and associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Management is particularly challenging in patients with uncontrolled hypertension. A thorough assessment is needed to draw an appropriate management plan. The treatment aims to improve postural symptoms while minimizing side effects and reducing iatrogenic exacerbation of supine hypertension. A personalized management plan including rationalizing medications, patient education, identification, and avoidance of triggers, as well as nonphar

Autoimmune Gastritis With Progression of Leukemic Non-Nodal Mantle Cell Lymphoma.

The pathogenesis of autoimmune gastritis (AIG) remains unclear. In addition, it is difficult to follow the process of AIG onset endoscopically. Leukemic non-nodal mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) was newly added as a subtype of MCL in the fourth revised edition of the World Health Organization (WHO) classification (2017). Here, we report a case of AIG associated with the progression of leukemic non-nodal MCL. A 74-year-old woman who had been followed up in a nearby hospital for chronic B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder with no treatment for six years presented with fever and fatigue in the previou

The MUK eight protocol: a randomised phase II trial of cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone in combination with ixazomib, in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) patients who have relapsed after treatment with thalidomide, lenalidomide and a proteasome inhibitor.

BackgroundMultiple myeloma is a plasma cell tumour with approximately 5500 new cases in the UK each year. Ixazomib is a next generation inhibitor of the 20S proteasome and is thought to be an effective treatment for those who have relapsed from bortezomib. The combination of cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone (CD) is a recognised treatment option for patients with relapsed refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) who have relapsed after treatment with bortezomib and lenalidomide, whilst also often being combined with newer proteasome inhibitors. The most apparent combination for ixazomib is therefor

Safety and tolerability of zoledronic acid and other bisphosphonates in osteoporosis management.

Bisphosphonates (BPs) are widely used in the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis and other metabolic bone diseases. They bind strongly to bone matrix and reduce bone loss through inhibition of osteoclast activity. They are classified as nitrogen- and non-nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates (NBPs and NNBPs, respectively). The former inhibit farnesyl diphosphate synthase while the latter induce the production of toxic analogs of adenosine triphosphate. These mechanisms of action are associated with different antifracture efficacy, and NBPs show the most powerful action. Moreover, recent evi

The Role of Injectables in the Treatment and Prevention of Cancer-Associated Thrombosis.

Cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT) is a leading cause of death among patients with cancer. CAT can manifest itself as venous thromboembolism (VTE), in the form of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, or arterial thromboembolism. The pathophysiology of CAT is complex and depends on cancer-, patient-, treatment- and biomarkers-related factors. Treatment of VTE in patients with cancer is complex and includes three major classes of anticoagulant agents: heparin and its derivatives, e.g., low molecular weight heparins, direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), and vitamin K inhibitors.
