SA28 Systematic Review of Screening Interventions for Colon and Rectal Cancer, from the Point of View of the Instituto Mexicano Del Seguro Social
Evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the fecal immunochemical test (FIT) for the diagnosis of adult patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) compared to the guaiac fecal occult blood test (gFOBT), Conventional colonoscopy (CC), and flexible sigmoidoscopy (FS), existing in the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS). Methodology: We conducted a systematic review to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the FIT test compared to the screening options currently available at the IMSS to diagnose of adult patients with CRC.

Acute gastrointestinal graft-versus-host disease with CMV and EBV superinfection in a patient with COVID-19
Rev Esp Enferm Dig. 2022 Jun 24. doi: 10.17235/reed.2022.9001/2022. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA 60-year-old female was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. After initial remission with chemotherapy, she relapsed and underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Two months later, she presented to emergency department with watery diarrhea, abdominal pain and fever. She also tested positive for SARS-CoV2 on nasopharyngeal swab by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and both cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) were detected in peripheral blood. Flexible sigmoidoscopy showed diffuse edema...

Estimating the optimum number of colon biopsies for diagnosing microscopic colitis: a systematic review
Microscopic colitis (MC) is an inflammatory disease of the colon characterized by persistent watery, nonbloody diarrhea. Subtypes of MC include collagenous and lymphocytic MC. Microscopic examination of colon tissue is crucial to confirming the diagnosis because the colonic mucosa often appears normal during flexible sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy. We aim to determine the optimal sites and minimum number of colon biopsies required to diagnose MC from published studies. We systematically searched PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane databases from inception until October 2020 using the following keywords: microscopic,...

Patient-reported outcome measures show FIT as an acceptable investigation to rule out colorectal cancer in the two-week wait cohort
CONCLUSIONS: Symptomatic patients can perform FIT with little difficulty, and often would have been happy to avoid conventional colonic investigations with a negative result. However, shared decision-making should be employed to identify those who would be dissatisfied with relying on FIT for further investigation decisions.PMID:35639078 | DOI:10.1308/rcsann.2022.0025 (Source: Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England)
