A Marked Eosinophilic Infiltration in Mucosa Could Be a Better Predictive Factor for Intractable Non-Esophageal Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disorders
Conclusions: REI may predict an intractable course in patients with non-EoE EGIDs. In addition, the combination of REI and EOS was a better predictor than REI alone.Digestion (Source: Digestion)

Clinical Guidelines for Diagnosis and Management of Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome in Children and Adults
Background: Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is a rare disease characterized by the presence of hamartomatous polyposis throughout the gastrointestinal tract, except for the esophagus, along with characteristic mucocutaneous pigmentation. It is caused by germline pathogenic variants of the STK11 gene, which exhibit an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance. Some patients with PJS develop gastrointestinal lesions in childhood and require continuous medical care until adulthood and sometimes have serious complications that significantly reduce their quality of life. Hamartomatous polyps in the small bowel may cause bleeding, int...

Efficacy and Safety of Vonoprazan and Amoxicillin Dual Therapy for < i > Helicobacter pylori < /i > Eradication: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusions: The efficacy of vonoprazan/amoxicillin dual therapy is noninferior to vonoprazan-based triple therapy but superior to the omeprazole or lansoprazole-based triple therapy and has less side effects. Patients with clarithromycin-resistant strains are particularly expected to benefit from vonoprazan/amoxicillin dual therapy.Digestion (Source: Digestion)

Characteristics of Gastric Stasis due to Deformation after Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection in the Lower Part of the Stomach
Conclusions: All cases of gastric stasis due to deformation had a circumferential extent of the mucosal defect greater than 3/4. Deformation was also likely to occur in cases with a larger dissection that exceeded the angular region without pyloric dissection.Digestion (Source: Digestion)

Clinical Features Focusing on Extraintestinal Manifestations in Japanese Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases: Far East 1000
Conclusions: The prevalence and types of EIMs in our hospital-based cohort in Japan did not significantly differ from those reported in previous or Western studies. However, the incidence might be underestimated due to the limited ability of non-IBD specialists to discover and describe EIMs in patients with IBD.Digestion (Source: Digestion)

Saliva Secretion Is Significantly Lower in Female Patients with Mild Reflux Esophagitis than in Female Healthy Controls
Conclusion: The amount of stimulated saliva secretion was significantly lower in female patients with mild reflux esophagitis than in female healthy controls. This reduction in saliva secretion may affect the pathophysiology of mild reflux esophagitis in females.Digestion (Source: Digestion)
