Dysphagia Due to a “Freak of Nature”
Question: A 51-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for a myocardial infarction. During the admission, she complained of chronic dysphagia for>1 year. Her medical history was that of a stroke with good functional recovery and no documented oropharyngeal dysphagia during that admission. Her current complaint of dysphagia was worse with solid foods and better with liquids. She localized her symptoms to the level of the suprasternal notch. A neurologic examination did not reveal any new focal deficits and there was no alarming feature such as weight loss or anemia.

Adiponectin: a relevant player in obesity-related colorectal cancer?
Obesity is a condition characterised by an abnormally elevated mass of body fat. The past decades have seen a dramatic rise in the worldwide incidence of obesity due to lifestyle changes that have led to an overall reduced physical activity and an increase in the intake of excessive and/or highly caloric or processed foods. As a consequence, obesity represents nowadays a major global health concern. In particular, several epidemiological studies have linked obesity to a shortened lifespan due primarily to a higher risk for the development of chronic pathologies that include cardiovascular complications such as high blood p...

Novel Oral Anticoagulants and Gastrointestinal Bleeding: a Case for Cardiogastroenterology
With the rapidly evolving cardiology drug pipeline for treatment of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), gastroenterologists have witnessed the emergence of a new population of patients who are vulnerable to gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding: the chronic cardiac patient. ACS, causing myocardial infarction (MI) and unstable angina, and atrial fibrillation are the signature conditions of the chronic cardiac patient. The morbidity and mortality of ACS is significant. Chronic cardiac patients are prescribed complex antithrombotic therapy (CAT) (ie, aspirin [ASA] plus a thienopyridine, eg, clopidogrel [Plavix; Bristol-Myers Squibb/Sanof...

Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis: Modern diagnostic modalities
We read with interest the article by Masuda et al. on the use of computed tomographic (CT) colonoscopy for the diagnosis of pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis. We would like to share our experience of a similar case. A 73-year-old woman with history of hypertension and ischemic stroke was referred for evaluation of chronic constipation and abdominal distention. Taking into account the patient's desire for a non-invasive exploration, a CT colonoscopy was initially performed; CT disclosed multiple air-containing cysts within the wall of the sigmoid colon, suggesting the diagnosis of idiopathic pneumatosis cystoides intestina...

Reduced thoracic fluid content in early stage primary biliary cirrhosis that associates with impaired cardiac inotropy.
Conclusion: This study has confirmed that TFC is reduced in those with PBC, that this is specific to PBC and that it associates independently with markers of cardiac inotropy. PMID: 23868409 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Hightlights from this issue
Lumianl GIOverall burden of Helicobacter pylori on mortality H pylori colonisation has been associated with increased risk of peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer, and reduced risk of asthma and allergy, while the association with cardiovascular disease and lung cancer is inconsistent. In this issue of Gut, Chen et al report their interesting data on the influence of H pylori on total and category-specific mortality. They conducted prospective cohort analyses in a nationally representative sample of 9895 participants enrolled in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III (NHANES III) to assess the associat...

The use of cardiac output monitoring to guide intravenous fluid administration during hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy
ConclusionLIDCO Rapid is an effective non‐invasive tool to guide fluid management in this population. It allows the anaesthesiologist to maintain tight control of essential physiological parameters during a phase of the procedure in which there is a risk of renal injury.This article is protected by copyright.

Can Daily Coffee Consumption Reduce Liver Disease–Related Mortality?
Because of widespread skepticism regarding the safety of Western medication, there is great interest in studying alternative treatments that are considered natural and safe from toxicities. Many foods and diets are believed to promote health and longevity. Coffee is a beverage with a distinct taste and aroma that commonly is consumed throughout the world and is being assessed for its potential health benefits. For instance, a decreased risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke has been described in regular coffee drinkers. In a recent analysis of the National Institutes of Health–AARP Diet and Health Study data ...

Guidelines for gastroenterological endoscopy in patients undergoing antithrombotic treatment
have been produced by the Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society in collaboration with the Japan Circulation Society, the Japanese Society of Neurology, the Japan Stroke Society, the Japanese Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis and the Japan Diabetes Society. Previous guidelines from the Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society have focused primarily on prevention of hemorrhage after gastroenterological endoscopy as a result of continuation ofantithrombotic therapy, without considering the associated risk of thrombosis. The new edition of the guidelines includes discussions of gastroenterological hemorrhage assoc...

Cardiovascular Risk in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: It’s a Heartache!
Rungoe C, Basit S, Ranthe MF, et al. Risk of ischemic heart disease in patients with inflammatory bowel disease: a nationwide Danish cohort study. Gut 2013;62:689–694. Besides predisposing to venous thromboembolism, chronic systemic inflammation is an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis by promoting plaque formation, inducing endothelial dysfunction, and promoting platelet activation and aggregation (N Engl J Med 2005;352:1685–1695). Epidemiologic studies have shown that chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus are associated with premature atherosclerosis an...
