Clinical Outcome Following Reinstitution of Anticoagulation after Major Gastrointestinal Bleed: A Single Institutional Analysis
Conclusion: Given the rising national trend on the use of anticoagulants for various medical necessities, it is imperative that a safe and efficient process be devised on reinstitution of anticoagulation post MGIB to guide Clinicians. Although our study represents a single institutional analysis, it concurs with recent studies that early resumption of anticoagulant following stabilization of MGIB is associated with lower thromboembolic events. Timing for resumption depends largely on the medical reason for anticoagulation; reinstitution by day 7 appear safe for patients on mechanical valve whereas after day 12 maybe approp...

Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy for enteral nutrition: a 5-year clinical experience with 324 patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Our experience reconfirmed PEG as a minimally invasive and safe procedure for long-term enteral nutrition in patients with impaired oral intake. However, significant prognostic factors should be taken into account during the preoperative evaluation of patients. Deferral of procedure or specialized postoperative care may be indicated in high risk patients.

Comparison of Long-Term Outcomes of Endoscopic and Minimally Invasive Catheter Evacuation for the Treatment of Spontaneous Cerebellar Hemorrhage
AbstractRecently, minimally invasive techniques, including endoscopic evacuation and minimally invasive catheter (MIC) evacuation, have been used for the treatment of patients with spontaneous cerebellar hemorrhage (SCH). However, credible evidence is still needed to validate the effects of these techniques. To explore the long-term outcomes of both surgical techniques in the treatment of SCH. Fifty-two patients with SCH who received endoscopic evacuation or MIC evacuation were retrospectively reviewed. Six-month mortality and the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score were the primary and secondary outcomes, respectively. A mu...

Lower total protein and absence of neuronavigation are novel poor prognostic factors of endoscopic hematoma removal for intracerebral hemorrhage
Endoscopic hematoma removal is widely performed for the treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage. We investigated the factors related to the prognosis of intracerebral hemorrhage after endoscopic hematoma removal.

Validation of the Italian Version of the Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS-It) Against Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing and Nutritional Status
AbstractThe Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS) is a reliable and valid tool to assess functional oral intake of food and liquids in patients with oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD). Its validity was established for stroke patients against Videofluoroscopic Swallowing Study in English and Chinese and against Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES) in German. FOIS was cross-culturally validated into Italian (FOIS-It), but construct validity against instrumental assessment and nutritional status was not investigated. The study aims at contributing to the validation of the FOIS-It, by performing convergent and known-g...
