Complete blood count parameters and inflammation-related biomarkers in patients with colorectal carcinoma Open
The aim of this study was to determine whether there are differences in complete blood count parameters (CBC) and inflammation-related biomarkers, MPV/PC, PLR, NLR, LWR, LMR, NMR, and LCR, among patients with colorectal carcinoma (CRC) and…

MicroRNA-193a-3p as a Valuable Biomarker for Discriminating between Colorectal Cancer and Colorectal Adenoma Patients Open
Specific markers for colorectal cancer (CRC), preceded by colorectal adenoma (pre-CRC), are lacking. This study aimed to investigate whether microRNAs (miR-19a-3p, miR-92a-3p, miR-193a-3p, and miR-210-3p) from tissues and exosomes are pote…

Is there an impact of deep sedation with propofol on adenoma detection rate, polyp detection rate and cecal intubation rate in elderly patients? Open
Background and aims: Early detection of colon adenomas and polyps reduces the risk of colorectal cancer development.Adenoma detection rate (ADR), polyp detection rate (PDR) and cecal intubation rate (CIR) are quality indicators for screeni…

Circulating Tumor Cells in Colorectal Cancer: Detection Systems and Clinical Utility Open
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer worldwide. The high mortality from CRC is mainly related to metastasis affecting distant organs and their function. Dissemination of tumor cells from the primary tumor and hematogeneo…

Expression of adipokine ghrelin and ghrelin receptor in human colorectal adenoma and correlation with the grade of dysplasia Open
Ghrelin and ghrelin receptor are expressed in colorectal adenoma and adjacent tissue with ghrelin expression being more pronounced in high grade dysplasia as a possible consequence of increased local synthesis.

Profiling Colorectal Cancer in the Landscape Personalized Testing—Advantages of Liquid Biopsy Open
Drug-specific therapeutic approaches for colorectal cancer (CRC) have contributed to significant improvements in patient health. Nevertheless, there is still a great need to improve the personalization of treatments based on genetic and ep…

Successful closure of a refractory rectal anastomotic fistula using endoscopic submucosal dissection combined with an over-the-scope clip Open
Digestive endoscopy is increasingly replacing surgery in the treatment of postoperative leaks and fistulas. However, treatment of patients with these conditions remains challenging with many different methods being currently tested [1].

Scoring systems for peptic ulcer bleeding: Which one to use? Open
The RS is the best predictor of mortality and the GBS is the best predictor of rebleeding, need for blood transfusion and/or surgical intervention in patients with PUB. There is no one 'perfect score' and we suggest that these two tests be…

Abnormalities of magnesium homeostasis in patients with chemotherapy-induced alimentary tract mucositis Open
Purpose: Hypomagnesemia contributes to morbidity in a significant proportion of hospitalized and severely ill patients, but it could also have beneficial anticancer effects. Alimentary tract mucositis is a frequent complication of cytotoxi…

A novel approach to esophageal stent removal in the setting of proximal stenosis and failure of the primary retrieval mechanism Open
A 75-year-old woman was admitted for the extraction of an esophageal fully covered metal stent (upper esophageal sphincter stent [80 × 20 mm]; Leufen Medical, Berlin, Germany). The stent had been implanted 5 weeks earlier to treat an esoph…
