Viral hepatitis-induced acute liver failure (ALF) is a preventable cause for liver-related mortality worldwide. Viruses are the most common cause for ALF in developing nations in contrast to the west, where acetaminophen is largely responsible. Viruses may be hepatotropic or affect the liver secondary to a systemic infection. In tropical countries, infections such as leptospirosis, scrub typhus and malaria can mimic the symptoms of ALF. Differentiating these ALF mimics is crucial because they require etiology-specific therapy...

BACKGROUND: The incidence of acute pancreatitis is increasing globally. Gallstones (GS) and ascariasis are the major causes for acute pancreatitis in the Kashmiri population. In recent years, we have observed an increase in the admission rate of acute pancreatitis. Many patients who present first time as gallstone pancreatitis have asymptomatic gallstones. We aimed at studying the etiology and yearly admission rate of acute pancreatitis with main focus on gallstone pancreatitis and the contribution of asymptomatic gallstones...

Biliary tract cancers are malignant neoplasms arising from bile duct epithelial cells. They include cholangiocarcinomas and gallbladder cancer. Gallbladder cancer has a marked geographical preference and is one of the most common cancers in women in northern India. Biliary tract cancers are usually diagnosed at an advanced, unresectable stage. Hence, the prognosis is extremely dismal. The five-year survival rate in advanced gallbladder cancer is < 5%. Hence, early detection and radical surgery are critical to improving biliary tract cancer prognoses...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: In spite of rapid growth of artificial intelligence (AI) in digestive endoscopy in lesion detection and characterization, the role of AI in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) endoscopy is not clearly defined. We aimed at systematically reviewing the role of AI in IBD endoscopy and identifying future research areas. METHODS: We searched the PubMed and Embase database using keywords ("artificial intelligence" OR "machine learning" OR "computer-aided" OR "convolutional neural network") AND ("inflammatory bowel disease" OR "ulcerative colitis" OR "Crohn's") AND ("endoscopy" or "colonoscopy" or "capsule endoscopy" or "device assisted enteroscopy") between 1975 and September 2023 and identified 62 original articles for detailed review...

BACKGROUND: Gastric cancer (GC) is associated with a significant global health burden and high mortality rates when diagnosed at later stages. The diagnosis often occurs at advanced stages when treatment options are limited and less effective. Early detection strategies are crucial to improving survival rates and outcomes for patients. Blue laser imaging (BLI) is an image-enhanced endoscopy technique that utilizes white light and narrow-band light to detect pathological changes in the mucosal architecture...

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an immune mediated chronic inflammatory disorder of gastrointestinal tract, which has underlying multifactorial pathogenic determinants such as environmental factors, susceptibility genes, gut microbial dysbiosis and a dysregulated immune response. Human gut is a frequent inhabitant of complex microbial ecosystem encompassing bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi and other microorganisms that have an undisputable role in maintaining balanced homeostasis. All of these microbes interact with immune system and affect human gut physiology either directly or indirectly with interaction of each other...

INTRODUCTION: The use of proton-pump inhibitors (PPI) is linked with infrequent but serious adverse events, including acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease (CKD) and progression of CKD. Data on renal safety in routine use of PPI are more relevant to clinical practice. We studied whether such use of PPI is associated with renal dysfunction. METHODS: Patients taking PPI for at least six weeks had serum creatinine tested pre (n = 200) and post (n = 180) recruitment...

Acute severe ulcerative colitis (ASUC) is one of life-threatening complications that occur in one-fifth of ulcerative colitis (UC) patients with significant morbidity and an estimated mortality rate up to 1%. There are no validated clinical scoring systems for ASUC. Intravenous corticosteroids remain the cornerstone for the management of ASUC patients However, one-third of patients are steroid refractory and require colectomy in the pre-biologic era or salvage therapy in the post-biologic era. The currently available predictors of non-response to steroids and salvages therapy are sub-optimal...

INTRODUCTION: Patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) are likely to have poor nutritional intake and increased gut losses. This study was designed to study the prevalence and predictors of nutritional deficiencies in patients with UC and their impact on the quality of life (QOL). METHODS: A prospective study was conducted among consenting patients with UC (cases) and healthy relatives of the cases (controls) visiting a university teaching hospital. They were assessed for clinical, demographic, endoscopic (Mayo score) and histological profile (Robart's score)...

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract that encompasses two major conditions: Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Historically, IBD has been primarily reported in western countries, but over the past decades, its prevalence is rapidly increasing, especially in lower and middle-income countries (LMICs) such as India and China and also in Sub-Saharan Africa. The prevalence of IBD in LMICs has been the subject of growing concern due to the impact of access to public healthcare and the burden it places on healthcare resources...

There is abundant literature reporting about the use of antibiotics in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but their role in the management of IBD is not entirely clear. Diverse infectious organisms have been implicated in the pathogenesis of Crohn's disease. Also, infections are believed to be a trigger for flares of ulcerative colitis. The benefit of the routine use of antibiotics in IBD is equivocal. However, there are certain situations, where antibiotics have a clear role and evidence of benefit: perianal fistula, intra-abdominal abscesses in Crohn's disease, acute pouchitis and infection-related flares...

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are chronic inflammatory gut disorders, majorly classified as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. The complex, multifactorial etiopathogenesis of IBD involves genetic predisposition, environmental cues, aberrant mucosal immune response and a disturbed gut microbiota. Epidemiological trends, studies in gnotobiotic mice models and genome-wide association studies, identifying genes involved in microbial handling, together mount evidence in support of the gut microbiota playing a pivotal role in IBD pathogenesis...

Rising number of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) cases in developing countries necessitate clear guidance for clinicians for the appropriate use of advanced therapies. An expert consensus document was generated to guide the usage of tofacitinib, a Janus kinase inhibitor, in ulcerative colitis. Tofacitinib is a useful agent for the induction and maintenance of remission in ulcerative colitis. It can be used in the setting of biological failure or even steroid-dependent and thiopurine refractory disease...
