Risk factors for recurrent common bile duct stones: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: In this comprehensive study, we identified 14 risk/protective factors for recurrent CBDS following ERCP. Pooled odds ratios were calculated and evaluated the quality of evidence. These findings may shed light on the assessment and management of CBDS.PMID:37531090 | DOI:10.1080/17474124.2023.2242784 (Source: Expert Review of Gastroenterology and Hepatology)

Primary biliary cholangitis: primary autoimmune disease or primary secretory defect
Expert Rev Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2023 Jul 29. doi: 10.1080/17474124.2023.2242771. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a chronic cholestatic liver disease characterized by the immune-mediated destruction of small and medium intrahepatic bile ducts, involving predominantly females. PBC has long been described as an autoimmune liver disease, also because it is very often associated with many autoimmune conditions. More recently, another pathogenic mechanism exploring the damage of cholangiocytes has been hypothesized, i.e. a defect in the biliary umbrella which is physiologically ...

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Hereditary polyposis syndromes are a group of inherited disorders associated with a high risk of developing colorectal cancer. The best known ones are familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), Peutz-Jeghers (PJS), juvenile polyposis and Cowden syndromes, as well as conditions predisposing to cancer, such as Lynch syndrome. Some of them are characterized by an increased risk of small bowel polyps occurrence.AREAS COVERED: Literature search in PubMed was performed in November 2022 and a narrative rev...

Strengths and limitations of risk stratification tools for patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding: a narrative review
Expert Rev Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2023 Jul 27. doi: 10.1080/17474124.2023.2242252. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Despite advances in the management of patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB), associated morbidity and mortality remain significant. Most patients, however, will experience favorable outcomes without a need for hospital-based interventions. Risk assessment scores may assist in such early risk-stratification. These scales may optimize identification of low-risk patients, resulting in better resource utilization, including a reduced need for early endoscopy and fewer hospital admissions...
