Split-Dose Regimen With Bisacodyl Increases the Quality of Bowel Preparation for Colonoscopy
The aim of the present study was to compare 2 different bowel preparations procedures (split-dose with PicoPrep and bisacodyl vs. same-day preparation with PicoPrep) in patients undergoing colonoscopy with regard to quality of bowel preparation, compliance, and willingness to repeat. A retrospective quasi-experimental investigation was conducted. Adults with outpatient diagnostic and surveillance colonoscopies were included. A total of 540 patients participated: group ‘split-dose with bisacodyl’ (n = 293) and group ‘same-day’ (n = 247). Patients in group ‘split-dose with bisacodyl’ had a higher chance for havin...

Review of Duodenoscope Infection Prevention Practices at the Medical University of South Carolina
A rise in duodenoscope-associated infections, especially in regard to multidrug-resistant organisms, has led to an increase in scrutiny regarding duodenoscope reprocessing. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography scopes have a specialized elevator wire channel, allowing more flexible duct cannulation; however, this channel can be difficult to reprocess with standard techniques. Although strict adherence to manufacturer reprocessing protocols remains the primary means of infection prevention, periodic microbiological surveillance is a Food and Drug Administration-recommended practice that the Medical University of So...

Evaluation of Daily Lives of Children and Adolescents with Celiac Disease and Nursing Approaches
The incidence of celiac disease has been increasing in recent years. Celiac disease is an autoimmune enteropathy that emerges mostly in the childhood period. This disorder is a chronic condition of the small intestine due to gluten intake in individuals with genetic predisposition. In the treatment of celiac disease, gluten-free diet therapy is applied. However, the adaptation process to the diet may create difficulties for patients. Compliance with diet is much more difficult among patients with celiac disease in childhood and adolescence than in adult patients. Children and adolescents face distinct difficulties in their...

The Effect of Gum Chewing on Abdominal Pain and Nausea Caused by Polyethylene Glycol Solution Used for Intestinal Cleansing Before Colonoscopy: An Endoscopist-Blinded, Randomized Controlled Trial
Gum chewing is known to have a positive effect on intestinal motility. Most studies have examined its effect on ileus, but there has been no discussion of the effects of polyethylene glycol used in preparation for colonoscopy. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of gum chewing on abdominal pain and nausea caused by polyethylene glycol solution used for intestinal cleansing before colonoscopy. The study was planned as a single-center, randomized, controlled experimental study. The research sample was determined using power analysis (n = 60). Consecutive patients undergoing colonoscopy were randomized into ...

Effects of Posture and Swallow Volume on Esophageal Motility Morphology and Probability of Bolus Clearance: A Study Using High-Resolution Impedance Manometry
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of posture and swallow volume on peristaltic morphology and the probability of bolus clearance in patients with nonspecific esophageal disorder. A total of 139 patients (4,214 swallows) were included for high-resolution impedance manometry analysis in the right lateral recumbent and upright positions, as well as 5- and 10-ml liquid swallows. Intact peristalses were more frequent in the right lateral recumbent position than in the upright position. No difference was reported on failed peristalsis between both positions. Breaks were more frequent in the upright position. A 20 mmHg isob...

Factors Influencing Received Social Support Among Emerging Adults With Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Cross-Sectional Study
The majority of research among individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) focuses on perceived social support. A gap exists regarding the role of received social support in self-management enhancement. The purpose of this study was to examine specific contextual factors (individual, condition-specific, and emerging adulthood factors) that influence received social support (total, informational, emotional, and tangible) among emerging adults (ages 18–29 years) with IBD. A convenience sample of 61 emerging adults with a diagnosis of IBD was obtained. An association was found between high total received social suppor...
