Gastrostomy button diameter and length variations after percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy: one size does not fit all.
Conclusions: A significant proportion of patients with gastrostomy buttons required a change in their measurements, especially if male, living in nursing homes, having significant weight changes or accidental tube exterio rization. This emphasizes the importance of having a specialized PEG appointment to regularly assure the best fitted button for each patient and ultimately guarantee an adequate nutritional intake.

Increased Number of Colorectal Interval Cancers in Lynch Syndrome after the SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic: A Survey-Based Study
Conclusion: The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic directly affected the surveillance of hereditary colorectal cancer syndromes in Italy. Endoscopic surveillance should resume in all centers to avoid the possible long-term consequences of its interruption, especially for inherited colorectal cancer syndromes.Dig Dis (Source: Digestive Diseases)

Development and external validation of the Munich Sorafenib Evaluation Score for hepatocellular carcinoma
Introduction: In recent years increasing options for systemic HCC treatment have become available. The development of therapy-specific prognostic scores has been encouraged. Tailoring therapy to individual patients requires prognostic scores for treatment success in addition to the Barcelona-Clinic-Liver-Cancer (BCLC) classification. We have developed and validated a prognostic score for patients treated with sorafenib.
Methods: Prognostic factors identified in a multivariate analysis of 108 sorafenib patients were used to construct the Munich-Sorafenib-Evaluation score (M-SE). M-SE and 9 established HCC prognostic system...

Relationship between < b > < i > Helicobacter pylori < /i > < /b > and Incident Hypertension as well as Blood Pressure: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusion: This meta-analysis suggested thatH.pylori infection increased the risk of hypertension. This may provide a new strategy for hypertension prevention. However, the association betweenH.pylori infection and hypertension needs to be confirmed in further prospective cohort studies.Dig Dis (Source: Digestive Diseases)

Utility of under-gel endoscopic mucosal resection with partial submucosal injection and under-gel precutting endoscopic mucosal resection for difficult colorectal polyp cases
Conclusions:
PI is potentially useful for colorectal polyps where the distal end is not visible; when PI cannot be used, pre-cutting EMR may constitute another troubleshooting method for difficult-to-treat colorectal polyps. The gel immersion method is also a viable option when the use of water causes rapid mixing of blood and residual stool, resulting in poor visibility. (Source: Digestive Diseases)

Incidence and mortality of post-polypectomy colorectal cancer in patients with low-risk adenomas: A systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies
Conclusions: Patients with LRAs have a small but higher risk of post-polypectomy CRC incidence than patients without adenomas. The marginally higher absolute incidence seemed insufficient for more intensive surveillance colonoscopy, but the significant difference suggested different follow-up strategies between patients with LRAs and those without adenomas.

Identification of subclasses of decompensated cirrhotic patients with acute kidney injury with different responses to fluid input
Introduction: Acute kidney injury is a heterogeneous disease in decompensated cirrhotic patients. The aims of our study were to detect subphenotypes of cirrhotic patients with acute kidney injury and explore clinical traits in patients with different subclasses.
Methods: All enrolled patients were identified from a clinical database. Clinical and laboratory variables were used to perform latent profile analysis (LPA). Clinical traits in each class were compared. A multivariable logistic regression model and a Cox model were used to explore the independent association of fluid input and mortality outcome.
Results: A total...
