RESUMO

Due to the high risk of adverse outcome, identifying predisposing factors for spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is of paramount importance. Serum ascites albumin gradient (SAAG) has recently been included in the recommendations for the management of ascites in patients with cirrhosis by some associations. ; Aim - to determine the value of SAAG as a predictor of SBP and to compare the average values of SAAG in patients with SBP and non-SBP.; The study was designed as a prospective-analytical-observational and was conducted at the University Clinic for Gastroenterohepatology in Skopje in one-year period. The study population included 70 patients hospitalized patients with established liver cirrhosis, regardless of etiology They were divided into two groups, 35 patients with SBP and 35 non-SBP, with similar demographic characteristics as the SBP group with sterile ascites, in which all variables were examined as in the study group. The selection of patients who were included in the study was conducted according to predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria.; The average value of SAAG in SBP was 19.0±4.6, and in non-SBP it was higher (23.2±5.5). The difference between the mean values was statistically significant for p<0.05 (t-test = 3.46512; p=0.000992). The univariate analysis of SAAG in prediction of SBP showed that SAAG <20 g/L significantly increased the chance of SBP by five times (Exp (B) = 5.337 (CI (1.976-15.516)).; Our analysis registered a statistically significant difference between the average values of SAAG in both groups. SAAG is a good predictor, significantly associated with the occurrence of SBP. Additional and extensive studies are necessary in order to confirm our conclusion in the future.

RESUMO

Introducción: la Guía ESPEN ofrece un enfoque multidisciplinar de la nutrición clínica en la enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal (EII). Metodología: la guía se basa en una extensa revisión sistemática de la literatura y en la opinión de expertos cuando faltan datos objetivos o estos no son concluyentes. Las conclusiones y las 64 recomendaciones han sido objeto de una revisión completa por pares y de un proceso Delphi en el que se requerían respuestas fuertemente positivas (de acuerdo o totalmente de acuerdo). Resultados: la EII es cada vez más común y se revisan brevemente los posibles factores dietéticos en su etiología. La desnutrición es muy prevalente en la EII, especialmente en la enfermedad de Crohn. En algunos pacientes se observan mayores requerimientos de energía y proteínas. El manejo de la desnutrición en la EII se considera dentro del contexto general de apoyo a los pacientes desnutridos. Se recomienda fuertemente el tratamiento de la deficiencia de hierro (por vía parenteral, si es necesario). Sin embargo, no se aconseja la prescripción de rutina de una dieta especial en la EII. La nutrición parenteral está indicada solo cuando la nutrición enteral ha fallado o es imposible. El manejo perioperatorio recomendado de los pacientes con EII sometidos a cirugía se hace de acuerdo con la guía general de la ESPEN para pacientes sometidos a cirugía abdominal. Los probióticos pueden ser útiles en la CU pero no en la enfermedad de Crohn. El tratamiento primario con nutrición para tratar la EII no está respaldado en la colitis ulcerosa, aunque está moderadamente bien soportado en la enfermedad de Crohn, especialmente en los niños, donde las consecuencias adversas de la terapia con esteroides son proporcionalmente mayores. Sin embargo, las dietas de exclusión generalmente no se recomiendan y hay poca evidencia que respalde cualquier fórmula de nutrición en particular cuando se realizan regímenes nutricionales (AU)


Introduction: the ESPEN Guideline offers a multidisciplinary focus on clinical nutrition in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Methodology: the guideline is based on a extensive systematic review of the literature, but relies on expert opinion when objective data are lacking or inconclusive. The conclusions and 64 recommendations have been subject to full peer review and a Delphi process, in which uniformly positive responses (agree or strongly agree) were required. Results: IBD is increasingly common and potential dietary factors in its etiology are briefly reviewed. Malnutrition is highly prevalent in IBD — especially in Crohn's disease. Increased energy and protein requirements are observed in some patients. The management of malnutrition in IBD is considered within the general context of support for malnourished patients. Treatment of iron deficiency (parenterally, if necessary) is strongly recommended. Routine provision of a special diet in IBD is not, however, supported. Parenteral nutrition is indicated only when enteral nutrition has failed or is impossible. The recommended perioperative management of patients with IBD undergoing surgery accords with general ESPEN guidance for patients having abdominal surgery. Probiotics may be helpful in UC but not in Crohn's disease. Primary therapy using nutrition to treat IBD is not supported in ulcerative colitis but is moderately well supported in Crohn's disease, especially in children, where the adverse consequences of steroid therapy are proportionally greater. However, exclusion diets are generally not recommended and there is little evidence to support any particular formula feed when nutritional regimens are constructed (AU)

RESUMO

THE AIM OF THE STUDY: Gastroesophageal reflux disease is a common disease with a multifactorial pathogenesis. Our aim was to analyse the role of the Gastroesophageal Disease Questionnaire in diagnosing reflux disease in the population of the Republic of Macedonia. METHODS: The questionnaire on the severity of the symptoms related to GERD was used. An evaluation of the distal portion of the oesophagus was carried out in all patients with positive questionnaire results. All mucosal injury was classified by the Los Angeles criteria (LA). RESULTS: 642 patients were included. 58.73% females, with an average age of 37.5±8.2. Females had a higher BMI than males 26.8±4.1 vs. 24.9±3.8 p<0.001. Of the total number of examinees (642 patients), in those with erosive reflux disease and also in those with nonerosive reflux disease, as shown respectively in endoscopy, the sensitivity of the RDQ was 100%, and the specifity was 0%. The100 sensitivity means that the questionnaire verified/diagnosed patients with erosive reflux disease with 100% certainty. CONCLUSIONS: RESULTS were found in some studies comparing the positive Reflux Disease Questionnaire and the level of erosive esophagitis (LA classification). This study provides evidence that the RDQ represents a viable instrument for assessing symptom severity and response to treatment in clinical trials of patients with GERD, but in patients with a high score, endoscopic evaluation should not be excluded.

RESUMO

Accurate and timely diagnostics of acute abdominal pain, a common emergency, is crucial in decreasing unnecessary surgical interventions. We present the case of a patient, Xh. M. aged 21, transported to emergency after being wakened from sleep by severe, acute abdominal pain. The pain was non-radiating, colic, and associated with flatulence, nausea and vomiting. The family history was negative regarding Angioedema, which decreases but does not exclude the possible appearance of hereditary Angioedema. All laboratory and imaging findings were normal, besides the low levels of C4 complement component were 4.56 mg/dl (normal values 10-40), functional C1-esterase INH was 10.29% (normal values 80-130) C1-estrease inhibitor (protein) 4.58 mg/dl (normal values 16-33), indicating HAE typ I. Regardless of negative medical history in the family of hereditary angioedema, de novo mutation most probably led to her being the first case in the family. The case we have presented confirms the need to include hereditary angioedema as a differential diagnostic possibility in patients with acute abdominal pain, even more so as timely and precise diagnostics enable avoidance of unnecessary surgical interventions.

RESUMO

Pneumatosis remains a rare condition presenting with multiple gas filled cysts at various parts of the GIT. It islmost always a secondary finding in a already active disease. It is very usual for it to be found occasionally at a routine examination. In the following study we present a case of intestinal pneumatosis in a 49-year-old female patient who underwent routine surgery for gastric dilatation as a complication of a chronic peptic ulcer. After exploration of the abdominal cavity, a polycystic tumor formation was found at the terminal ileum. It was further resected and sent for pathohystology analysis according to which it was stated that it was a cystoid intestinal pneumatosis on a terminal ileum. The presented case went in favour of the mechanical theory which states that pyloric gastric outlet obstruction is the most common cause of intestinal pneumatosis.

RESUMO

The aim of the study was to evaluate the relation of Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection and gastric cancer and a possible relation with a certain histopathological type of gastric cancer and localization within the stomach. A cross-section study was conducted on 60 consecutive patients (45 men and 15 women) with an established histological diagnosis of gastric cancer. The patients were divided into 2 groups (HP positive and HP negative) and additionally, depending on histopathological type, into intestinal, diffuse and cardia cancer, and localization as cardia carcinoma, proximal and distal carcinoma. HP was detected with a rapid ureasa endoscopic test and a serologic immune essay. Forty-two out of 60 patients 42 (70%) were HP positive. There were 36 intestinal type of gastric cancer, 34 (94.4%) HP positive (statistically significant), 19 patients with diffuse type, and 8 (42.1%) HP positive. The remaining 5 were carcinoma of cardia and all were HP negative. Thirty-seven (61.7%) were distal carcinomas, up to (76.2%) in the HP positive group, there were 18 (30%) proximal carcinomas and 5 (8.3%) localized on the cardia. This study confirmed the high incidence of HP infection in patients with gastric carcinoma, particularly in those with an intestinal type of cancer. Carcinomas were predominantly localized in the distal part of the stomach, especially in the HP positive group of intestinal type. Carcinomas of cardia were negatively associated with HP infection.
