Anorectal symptoms during pregnancy: how important is trimester?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion The frequency of anorectal symptom reporting appears to increase as pregnancy progresses. Further investigation and research is warranted to determine the configuration of services that may be required to treat those affected.

Influence of NFκB inhibitors on IL-1β-induced chemokine CXCL8 and -10 expression levels in intestinal epithelial cell lines: glucocorticoid ineffectiveness and paradoxical effect of PDTCEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion These data explain the frequent unresponsiveness of IBD to glucocorticoid treatment and suggest that alternative NFκB inhibition in IECs might be of use in IBD therapy. Drug development based on measuring anti-NFκB activity might be misleading and should therefore also include studies on relevant gene products.

The concurrence of histologically positive resection margins and sessile morphology is an important risk factor for lymph node metastasis after complete endoscopic removal of malignant colorectal polypsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions Polypectomy artefacts appear to be responsible for the discrepancy between histology and the tumour remnants actually present. On the other hand, histologically incompletely removed sessile malignant polyps represent an appreciably higher risk for lymph node metastasis. Such cases should, therefore, be submitted to further oncological resection.

Treatment of grade III and IV haemorrhoidal disease with PPH or THD. A randomized trial on postoperative complications and short-term resultsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion Both PPH and THD are safe treatments for grade III and IV haemorrhoids with acceptable complication rates and good short-term results. THD might be the preferred treatment because it carries the similar complication rate and short-term results, but results in less postoperative pain when compared with PPH. Moreover, it is a less invasive, more easily learned and less costly procedure.

Truncating mutations in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome are associated with more polyps, surgical interventions and cancersEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions Our study shows that almost half of PJ patients have complications early in life independent of mutational status. Patients with TM require more surgical GI interventions and tend to develop more polyps and cancers. Furthermore, close surveillance detects early stage cancers in patients. We propose that surveillance should be started as early as 8 years in all patients to avoid complications. Moreover, patients with TM may benefit from surveillance at shorter intervals.
