Comparable Outcomes of Uncovered Metallic Stents and Partially Covered Metallic Stents in Malignant Distal Duodenal Obstruction

1. Abstract 1.1. Background/Purpose: Endoscopic management with self-expandable metallic stents (SEMSs) for advanced malignant gastroduodenal obstruction is widely used, however stenting in patients with malignant distal duodenal obstruction (MDDO) is challenging because of the length and flexibility of the endoscope, the curved configuration of the duodenal C-loop, and the angle of the duodenojejunal flexure. Studies …

Can combination of SGLT2 inhibitors and DPP-4 inhibitors be combination of choice for T2DM associated MAFLD?

1. Abstract Globally, metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is the leading cause of liver disease and the most common cause for liver transplantation. Type 2 Diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is major risk factor for development of MAFLD with Indian prevalence of 56.5% T2DM patients suffering from MAFLD. MAFLD and T2DM are pathophysiological linked with IR, …

Split-dose Lactulose with Adjunctive Oral Bisacodyl and Oral Sodium Phosphate: A Pilot Study of a Novel Bowel Preparation

1. Abstract 1.1. Background: Various colonoscopic bowel preparations are in use clinically. Split-dose preparations are generally recommended for morning colonoscopies. We herein present a novel form of bowel preparation with split-dose lactulose as the backbone with oral bisacodyl and sodium phosphate, in a pilot study assessing its safety and efficacy.

Clinical Predictive Value of CD-DST for the Efficacy of Postoperative XELOX Adjuvant Chemotherapy in Advanced Gastric Adenocarcinoma

1. Abstract 1.1. Introduction: Anticancer drug insensitivity/resistance is a bottleneck in the treatment of gastric cancer. To overcome this challenge, we evaluated the clinical utility of an in-vitro collagen gel droplet embedded culture drug sensitivity test (CD-DST) using patient-derived gastric cancer tissues for personalized treatment guidance. 1.2. Methods: We collected the surgically removed fresh tumor …
