Afro-Caribbeans Have a Lower Prevalence of Advanced Colon Neoplasia than African-Americans.
Published in Digestive diseases and sciences
The black population in the USA is a heterogeneous group composed of smaller subgroups from different origins. The definition of black in many colorectal cancer (CRC) risk studies is vague, and differences in CRC risk comparing black subpopulations have not been evaluated. The aim of the study is to compare advanced colorectal neoplasia (ACN) betwe...
Circular RNA_LARP4 Sponges miR-1323 and Hampers Progression of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Through Modulating PTE...
Published in Digestive diseases and sciences
Emerged as important regulators in cancer progression, circular RNAs have been tested to participate in diverse biological processes. Former studies have suggested that circular RNA_LARP4 (circLARP4) exerts indispensable function on the development of different cancers such as gastric cancer and ovarian cancer. Nonetheless, the specific role of cir...
Marijuana Use in Patients with Symptoms of Gastroparesis: Prevalence, Patient Characteristics, and Perceived Benefit.
...Published in Digestive diseases and sciences
Marijuana may be used by some patients with gastroparesis (Gp) for its potential antiemetic, orexigenic, and pain-relieving effects. The aim of this study was to describe the use of marijuana by patients for symptoms of Gp, assessing prevalence of use, patient characteristics, and patients' perceived benefit on their symptoms of Gp. Patients with s...
Polyp Detection Rate Correlates Strongly with Adenoma Detection Rate in Trainee Endoscopists.
Published in Digestive diseases and sciences
The adenoma detection rate (ADR) is a widely accepted quality benchmark for screening colonoscopy but can be burdensome to calculate. Previous studies have shown good correlation between polyp detection rate (PDR) and ADR, but this has not been validated in trainees. Additionally, the correlation between PDR and detection rates for sessile serrated...

Breath Test Gas Patterns in Inflammatory Bowel Disease with Concomitant Irritable Bowel Syndrome-Like Symptoms: A Contro...
...Published in Digestive diseases and sciences
Breath testing (BT) has gained interest for diagnosing small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) in IBD patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) overlap. We aim to characterize the rate of SIBO and BT gas patterns in IBD patients with IBS-like symptoms compared to non-IBD patients. A database of 14,847 consecutive lactulose BTs was developed...
Baicalin Is Curative Against Rotavirus Damp Heat Diarrhea by Tuning Colonic Mucosal Barrier and Lung Immune Function.
...Published in Digestive diseases and sciences
Previous studies have indicated that rotavirus (RV) is a causative factor for diarrhea and gastroenteritis in pediatric and neonatal settings. Baicalin has many functions, including antibacterial, antiinflammatory, and antihypertensive activities. However, the immunological mechanism of RV-induced diarrhea with heat-dampness syndrome (RV-DH) remain...
Upper Gastrointestinal Disease Influences the Occurrence of Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
Published in Digestive diseases and sciences
Compromise of the gastric acid barrier may facilitate bacterial invasion of the lower intestinal tract and influence the occurrence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Our study tested the associations between histopathologic changes in the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract in patients undergoing bidirectional endoscopy. The Inform Diagnostic...
