The effect of internal control environment on operational risk of quoted banks in Nigeria
Authors: Chidinma N. Ozuomba , Eugene O. Nwadialor, , Alphonsus S. Anichebe,
Published: September 2019

Banks are more likely to fail from operational risk than from credit risk, and internal control at banks create operational risk losses. Internal control system is the backbone of every company and the successful attainment of the goals of most companies depend upon the effectiveness of their policies and internal control system. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of internal control environment on operational risk of quoted banks in Nigeria. 16 selected quoted banks in the Nigerian stock exchange from 2013-2017 were studied based on the 2012 banking reform on corporate governance by the then CBN governor Sanusi Lamido Sanusi’s “Project Alpha Initiative” (PAI). Data were collected from banks published annual reports, CBN statistical bulletin, NDIC report, CBN fact book, company website and banks’ Pillar III disclosure report for the relevant years sampled for analysis. The analysis carried out included pooled OLS regression, fixed and random effect and Hausman tests to determine the most suitable model for result interpretation. This was conducted with the aid of E-View 7 software. The findings shows that internal control environment (BS, ID, LD, and ES) has positive significant effect on Operational risk (OPR). It was recommended that a well-established internal environmental control system should be mandatory for all companies, in the banking industry.

Published: September 2019

Objetivou-se com esta pesquisa avaliar características físicas, físico-químicas e químicas de uvas quando recobertas com filme plástico de diferentes espessuras e armazenadas em ambiente com e sem refrigeração. As uvas da variedade Francesa foram obtidas em um pomar doméstico localizado próximo à Universidade do Oeste de Santa Catarina, no município de São José do Cedro. As frutas foram colhidas manualmente, pela manhã, acondicionadas em recipiente plástico e transportadas ao Laboratório Multiuso do Curso de Agronomia. Selecionaram-se as frutas sem danos aparentes, maduras, com tamanho e aparência comercial, as quais foram submetidas ao processo de desinfestação, secadas em temperatura ambiente, acondicionadas em bandeja, recobertas com filme PVC e armazenadas. Os tratamentos corresponderam a quatro diferentes espessuras de PVC, duas temperaturas de armazenamento e duas épocas de avaliação. O delineamento experimental foi completamente casualizado em esquema fatorial com três repetições. As avaliações físicas, físico-químicas e químicas foram: perda de massa, pH, Sólidos Solúveis Totais (SST), Acidez Total Titulável (ATT) e a relação SST/ATT. Os dados obtidos foram submetidos à análise de variância e as médias comparadas pelo teste de Tukey, a 5% de probabilidade. Para a descrição das variáveis em virtude das espessuras de PVC foram feitas análises de regressão e os modelos que melhor se ajustaram foram selecionados. Concluiu-se que a utilização de embalagens de PVC reduz a perda de massa de uvas e, associada ao uso de refrigeração a 4ºC, mantém a qualidade das frutas por até 12 dias. Palavras-chave: Uva. Ambiente refrigerado. Espessura. PVC.

Authors: Erika Caris Marlen
Published: September 2019

Este trabalho objetivou contribuir com a sustentabilidade da suinocultura no Estado de Santa Catarina, Brasil, propondo a utilização da Lemna minuta como biorremediadora e bioindicadora de efluentes. Testou-se a eficiência da Lemna minuta em concentrações diferentes de nitrogênio amoniacal. O experimento foi realizado em cinco tanques de 5 litros cada, alimentados com 2 litros de efluentes do processo de tratamento nas concentrações: 100% de efluente (Lemna 1); 75% de efluente (Lemna 2); 50% de efluente (Lemna 3); 25% de efluente (Lemna 4) e o último com 100% de água destilada (Lemna 5), todos seguidos da adição da macrófita. Os resultados mostraram que as macrófitas nos tanques Lemna 3 e 4 apresentaram maior crescimento e formação de biomassa, além da melhor remoção de nutrientes do meio líquido. O melhor desempenho na remoção de nitrogênio amoniacal ocorreu quando as concentrações iniciais foram de 20 a 50 mg.L-1, a maior remoção foi de 60%  (Lemna 3). Para o ortofosfato, a maior remoção foi 51% (Lemna 4). O aumento do nitrogênio oxidável indicou o processo de nitrificação e nitratação. A Lemna minuta demonstrou potencial para uso tanto na biorremediação de águas impactadas pela suinocultura quanto na bioindicação de poluição dessa natureza. Palavras-chave: Lemna minuta. Efluente da suinocultura. Biorremediação. Bioindicação.  Nitrogênio amoniacal.
Łódzki ośrodek badań historycznych. Przeszłość i teraźniejszość
Authors: Pomorski Jan
Published: September 2019

Autor stawia pytanie, co zawdzięcza polska historiografia ośrodkowi łódzkiemu, by w odpowiedzi zarysować najważniejsze punkty zwrotne i osiągnięcia w 75-letniej obecności studium historii na Uniwersytecie Łódzkim. Faza pierwsza obejmuje okres 1945–1948, gdy Łódź faktycznie odgrywała – zwłaszcza w pierwszych latach – rolę „zastępczej” stolicy. Cechował ją względny pluralizm środowiska historycznego i duży ferment intelektualny. Faza druga, trwająca do 1956 r., to okres stalinizacji polskiej historiografii, której ośrodek łódzki podlegał może jeszcze w większym stopniu niż inne. Fazy trzecia, trwająca do końca lat sześćdziesiątych, i czwarta, obejmująca lata siedemdziesiąte, to okresy „normalizacji”, czyli powrotu do badań źródłowych i budowania własnej akademickiej tożsamości, oraz „stabilizacji”, czyli zbudowania solidnego zaplecza kadrowego. Wtedy też zaczynają się kształtować w obrębie łódzkiego środowiska historycznego cztery „szkoły historyczne”, rozpoznawalne nie tylko z perspektywy polskiej, lecz także europejskiej: szkoła etnohistorii, szkoła historii historiografii, łódzka szkoła bizantynologii oraz szkoła historii dyplomacji i stosunków międzynarodowych, których dorobek pokrótce jest w artykule omawiany.

As energias renováveis são geradas por meio de recursos naturais, ou seja, para que haja sua produção deve-se causar o menor impacto ambiental possível, sendo as mais conhecidas: hidráulica, biomassa, solar, eólica, geotérmica e maremotriz. No Brasil, devido à enorme quantidade de rios, a maior parte da energia elétrica disponível é produzida pelas grandes usinas hidrelétricas, mas atualmente, a fim de apresentar solução para demanda energética do país, vem crescendo bastante a produção de energia elétrica por meio da biomassa, da irradiância solar e pela força dos ventos. No entanto, as injeções dessas energias produzidas pelas “micros” usinas geradoras podem ocasionar incertezas probabilísticas ao sistema de distribuição e transmissão. O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar a confiabilidade de um sistema fictício de geração de energia, por meio da implementação da simulação do Método Monte Carlo.

Published: September 2019

A avaliação microbiológica em produtos de higiene pessoal constitui uma etapa importante no que se refere à segurança do usuário e à qualidade do produto, visto que a carga microbiana elevada pode acarretar problemas de saúde. O objetivo do trabalho foi verificar o cumprimento das exigências acerca da qualidade microbiológica de produtos de higiene pessoal (shampoos e condicionadores) de nove indústrias de cosméticos de Goiânia e região. As amostras foram analisadas de acordo com os parâmetros nacionais e internacionais de qualidade, verificando e quantificando a presença de microrganismos. Realizou-se a contagem de bactérias e fungos viáveis totais e pesquisa do patógenos P. aeruginosa em 18 amostras. Os resultados das amostras avaliadas, 11.11% de shampoos e condicionadores analisadas, não estão dentro dos limites permitidos. Ambas apresentaram contaminação fúngica e bacteriana, acima dos limites descritos na legislação vigente. Ambas as amostras apresentaram o patógeno pesquisado P. aeruginosa. Estes resultados indicam que muitos produtos disponíveis no mercado apresentam qualidade inadequada, demonstrando falhas no controle de qualidade. Conclui-se que as indústrias brasileiras ainda necessitam de padrões de controle de qualidade e boas práticas de fabricação que garantam um produto final com qualidade para a saúde e beleza do consumidor.

Published: September 2019

The inventory of the geological heritage of the state of São Paulo, Brazil, was carried out from 2012 to 2015 and resulted in the selection of 142 geosites in 11 geological frameworks representative of its geological history. Among the frameworks is the “Geomorphological units and landforms”, which includes fourteen geosites representative of the main geomorphological features in the area. Since these kinds of geosites are very suitable to interpretative and educational purposes, in this work we present both qualitative and quantitative assessments of the potential educational use of the geosites present in this geological framework. The assessment was carried out using the GEOSSIT platform, which was developed by the Geological Survey of Brazil (CPRM). The outcomes of the quantitative assessment made it possible to rank the geosites according to their importance. The geosites Jaraguá Peak and Itapeva Peak achieved the highest rankings, a result that reinforces their current use for tourist activities; on the other hand, the geosites Jureia Massif and Diabo Hill were the lowest ranked. The data obtained in this study suggest the need to establish educational measures that may increase activities of valorisation, dissemination and conservation of these geosites, and that take into account the geodiversity elements. In order to implement such measures, some support from public and private agencies is fundamental. In general, geosites present excellent conditions for the dissemination of geoscientific knowledge, making a key to the construction of a geoconservation conscience by the general public.

Published: September 2019

In the Dutch capitalistic consumer society, things are not made to stand the test of time, but to be replaced by other things within the foreseeable future. They are made to be thrown away, and quite often as quickly as possible, because it is this characteristic that guarantees a new purchase. In this contribution the authors will focus on a white T-shirt. The main questions are: What is the current practice in the Netherlands regarding the disposal, separation, reusing, and recycling of this Dutch white trash and how does the legal framework regulate the matter of RMG waste?.

Authors: ARSLAN Canan
Published: September 2019

The advances in social media applications have changed the way we communicate, interact,

share and conduct our relationships. In our “web society”, generating dialogical communication is

becoming more and more important. The web 2.0 is enabling organizations to engage in dialogue

with their audience, thus transforming their communication into a more interactive manner. The

effects of this transformation is also witnessed in the way theater institutions are communicating

with their publics. Due to the dialogic communication fostered by web 2.0 tools, the relationship

between theaters and their audience is becoming more interactive, intersubjective and collaborative.

The aim of this article is to assess the level of dialogic communication developed by theaters

on the internet, by analyzing the use of Instagram and Instagram stories of seven theatres from

public and private sector in Turkey. Taking Kent and Taylor’s dialogical principles as its assessment

criteria, the article aims to shed a light on how Instagram is to be used dialogically by theater

institutions to foster a strong level of communication and thus fulfill their goal of enlightening the

society.

Authors: O. Ope-babadele Oluwatosin , E. Ilesanmi Rose
Published: September 2019

Background: Workplace violence (WPV) is a widespread occupational hazard affecting the health, safety, job attitude and productivity of the nursing workforce. This study was designed to investigate the pattern and perceived effects of WPV on nurses’ work productivity in two selected hospitals in Ibadan.Methods: This descriptive study was conducted in two purposively selected hospitals. Out of 1,418 nurses, 349 proportional sample was taken and respondents were selected using convenience sampling technique. Two validated questionnaires was used. Data were analysed using frequencies and percentages. Hypotheses were tested using chi-square at α=0.05.Results: Respondents’ age was 39 ± 6.5years; 46.8% were registered nurses, of which 48.1% had worked for 11-20 years. On pattern of violence, 49(15.6%) experienced physical violence without a weapon, 39(12.4%) experienced verbal harassment and bullying. Attackers of 33(10.5%) were patient relatives. Decreased work productivity due to WPV was reported(60, 19.1%) while no change in work productivity was reported(170, 54.1%). Type of WPV was significantly associated with nurses productivityx2=39.7; p=0.001.Conclusion: Nurses experience violence in workplace commonly instigated by patient relatives. This affects job productivity. Strict implementation of policies on violence is required to enhance workplace safety and productivity.
The Evolution of Technology and Emergence of the Knowledge Society

Published: September 2019

The reader might still remember times when families gathered to watch programs on CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) TVs --- these TVs had excellent bright colours and occupied a central place in every living room. Well, these TVs have vanished; in the same way that those big radio boxes --- radiolas --- that used to assemble families in the 1930s vanished before them. In fact, many people hardly watch any TV at all these days and prefer to obtain news and information from the Internet. Why do technologies get better and better, and then... simply disappear?

Technologies do not develop continuously and monotonically as many people believe. We are witnessing the beginning of a new wave of technological changes, which will affect the engineering profession and the rest of society. The book is written for engineers, and for other readers who are interested in technology and wish to understand why technological progress becomes faster and faster, what technological changes we should expect in the future, and how these changes will impact out lives.

This book has two main parts. The first part gives a concise but consistent account of the progress of technology: its past, present and future. Specific technologies and specific changes are discussed. The second part of the book presents technological development as a highly effective evolutionary process and compares technological progress to other complex evolutionary processes. Examples and comparisons from different fields (e.g. history, economics, biology) are also considered in the second part. The book has around 170 pages and 50 illustrations.

Background: This retrospective study evaluate the survival effects of metronomic maintenance therapy with fluoropyrimidine in patients with stage III colorectal cancer (CRC) according to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expression. Methods: We enrolled 197 patients with stage III CRC who had undergone radical resection and FOLFOX regimen adjuvant chemotherapy. The clinicopathological features and effects of metronomic maintenance therapy on survival according to treatment group and EGFR expression were analyzed. By conducting an in vitro cell line study and in vivo study through knockdout of EGFR gene, we analyzed the capacities of cell proliferation and migration. Results: Postoperative relapse and mortality were significantly more common in the FOLFOX group. Metronomic maintenance therapy was a significantly independent predictive factor of postoperative relapse and mortality, as well as a prognostic factor of disease-free survival and overall survival. We also demonstrated that EGFR-knockout Caco2 cells are more sensitive to the inhibition effect of fluoropyrimidine than the control those. Conclusions: The present study suggested EGFR expression as the prognostic factor in patients with stage III CRC receiving metronomic maintenance therapy. By analyzing EGFR expression and treatment strategies, we can identify the potential candidates with optimal survival benefit from metronomic maintenance therapy in patients with stage III CRC.

Published: September 2019

As the rapid development of communication industry, especially the 5G communication and IOT, there will be plenty of electromagnetic (EM) waves in the free space, which carry lots of energies. However, some of these energies are wasted in free space. To reuse these wasted energies, significantly growing interests are towards to the energy harvesting antennas. This paper is aimed to investigate a wearable antenna which can transfer RF energy from ambient sources to direct current by a soft and portable textile antenna. Among the numerous signals in mobile network, the GSM 1800, 3G, WiFi and 4G/5G will be chosen due to the city signal intensity distribution. Hence, a corresponding triple bands antenna has been designed to cover those frequency bands. The CST STUDIO SUITE is used in whole process of antenna design and simulation. The proposed antenna is a hooked dipole antenna with tuning bar (HATB) whose ends have small folded part in each side for better bandwidth performance. The presented antenna provides a wide operating band from 1.8 GHz to 2.5 GHz below -10 dB in return loss. And methods to overcome interference between antennas is found. Furthermore, using the corresponding rectifier to achieve the RF/DC conversion. The overall efficiency of whole rectifier is about 56.8 %, and output power level of the antenna system is 45.92nW. The experimental results could indicate that my textile hooked antenna harvester is a good choice for the charging system of personal wearable attachment, which could achieve low power absorbing for long distance anytime and anywhere.
The Technical Efficiency of French Regional Airports and Low-Cost Carrier Terminals
Authors: Hong Seock-Jin , Jeon Minjun
Published: September 2019

In France, the regional airport’s demand for services is facing challenges due to the continuous expansion of the high-speed train, high-speed line, and highway networks. This study focuses on the viability of regional airports in France through technical efficiency using data envelopment, principle component analysis, Malmquist productivity index, and regression analysis using bootstrapping. To face the current competitive environment, the regional airports in France adopted strategies, such as the construction of low-cost carrier (LCC) dedicated terminals (LCCTs) with lower expenses to attract more LCCs, increasing non-aeronautical revenue, and hosting regional hubs of LCCs. This is the first study that analyzes all of the French regional airports. The findings indicate that the existence of LCCTs positively affects technical efficiency on the airport’s performance, and share of LCCs at a regional airport leads to neither the efficiency nor the profit level.
A Dynamic Model of the Spread of Intrastate War
Authors: FİSUNOĞLU Ali
Published: September 2019

The spread of intrastate war has gained increasing prominence, especially in the recent past. This paper studies the spread of intrastate war as a result of another intrastate war in a neighboring country using a system dynamics modeling approach. The model employed is a modification of the SIR, a spread of disease model taken from epidemiology. Revising the SIR model with relevant political and economic variables, the model seeks to explain the mechanism through which an intrastate conflict is spread from an "infected" country to a "susceptible" country. Although diffusion and contagion of civil wars have been widely examined in the past, a dynamic modeling approach has not been adequately used in this area. Consistent with the existing literature, the results of the model suggest that refugees are a means to carry the conflict disease from the initial country by disturbing economic and social dynamics of the host whereas political capacity acts as the immune system, reducing the likelihood of conflict contagion. The results of the simulations, obtained using theoretical parameters, are mainly consistent with the expectations.

Published: September 2019

O estudo teve como objetivo geral analisar a relação entre a consciência ecológica do consumidor e sua predisposição a pagar pela aquisição de uma construção verde. A pesquisa, quantitativa, analisou dados coletados por meio de survey aplicada a 225 consumidores que residem na cidade de Fortaleza - CE. Para a análise dos dados utilizaram-se estatísticas descritivas, análise fatorial exploratória, além de regressão linear múltipla. Os resultados indicam que o aumento na consciência ecológica dos consumidores reflete-se no aumento da predisposição a pagar mais pela aquisição de uma construção verde e que a maioria dos consumidores estaria disposta a pagar de 5 a 6% a mais em relação a uma construção convencional. Adicionalmente, destaca-se que a idade e a escolaridade apresentam relação positiva com o nível de consciência ecológica dos indivíduos.

No contexto corporativo em que se enfatiza a aprendizagem, o coaching se torna um instrumento central para o desenvolvimento humano, na busca por um perfil profissional de resultados rápidos. Neste cenário, este estudo indaga sobre como se posicionam as propostas de desenvolvimento humano, inerentes ao processo de coaching, difundidas no Brasil. Partindo de uma base teórica sobre os conceitos de coaching, espiritualidade organizacional e sedução organizacional, a pesquisa examinou o discurso assumido em fontes que totalizaram 148 textos e 2 entidades de capacitação. Por meio de uma análise documental e de uma análise de conteúdo (palavras, construções de frases e construção da rede semântica), os resultados apontam que nas fontes analisadas há uma ênfase imoderada em aspectos subjetivos, configurando-se um possível cenário de sequestro da subjetividade, que emerge por diversas formas, como controle psicológico, imaginário coletivo compartilhado, ideologia dominante e poder condicionado.

Authors: Randall Melanie , McDaniels Sarah , Kyle Kristina , Michael Meina , Brown Lance
Published: September 2019

Background
Pediatric pancreatitis is increasing, whether due to an increase in cholelithiasis or factors such as increased awareness and testing. This study was to describe previously undescribed pre-adolescent children with pancreatitis to illuminate this population and clarify who should be screened for pancreatitis.
Methods
This is a descriptive retrospective study of emergency department patients <13 years old over 10 years with the diagnosis of pancreatitis. Demographics, laboratory values, imaging results and final diagnoses/etiologies were recorded and evaluated using descriptive statistics.
Results
100 patients presented with acute pancreatitis and median age of 8 years (IQ range 5-11). 25% were attributed to an unknown etiology. 16 were medication induced, 13 genetic/congenital/structural, 14 traumatic/post surgical, 14 had gallstones, and 17 had autoimmune or systemic illness-related pancreatitis. 29 patients had recurrent pancreatitis.
Conclusions
Cholelithiasis is a much less frequent etiology in children than in adults. Genetic/structural factors represent a larger proportion of acute cases and higher proportion of recurrent pancreatitis. Concurrent systemic and viral illnesses are more common than in adults. Patients on pancreatitis-causing medications or with known genetic/structural issues should be tested for pancreatitis. Patients without risk factors rarely developed recurrent pancreatitis. Hypertriglyceridemia was not found to be an etiology. Chronic pancreatitis was uncommon.

Background To investigate age- and gender-specific trends in the prevalence of reduced visual acuity (VA), a proxy measure for myopia, in a representative urban district in China. And to identify the susceptible age for the emerging of reduced VA epidemic.
Methods Data were extracted from the dataset of 2002 and 2018 Annual Survey on Students' Constitution and Health from Yuhua District, Changsha City, China. Children aged 6 to 15 years were included. The visual acuity was measured by a LogMAR tumbling E chart. The prevalence of reduced VA was calculated by age and gender. Cochran–Armitage test was used for detecting trends.
Results
The final VA analysis included 26217 children in 2002，and 45510 children in 2018. The overall prevalence of reduced VA increased from 28.3% in 2002 to 46.5% in 2018 (P<0.001). The prevalence of reduced VA started to increase markedly from the age of 14 years in 2002, and in 2018 it started to increase at the age of 9 years. The prevalence of severely reduced VA increased in all age groups from 2002 to 2018 and increased with age (all P <0.001). Between age 6 to 15 years, the proportion of normal VA decreased from 61.4% to 31.9% in 2018.
Conclusions
Both the prevalence of reduced VA and severely reduced VA in children aged 6-15 years old increased significantly from 2002 to 2018 in Yuhua District. The remarkable epidemic of reduced VA started 5 years earlier in 2018 than in 2002. Evidence from the present study suggests interventions should be launched before the age of 9 years.
Arthroscopic Popliteus sling Reconstruction using the ‘Popliteus portal’ : An effective way to restore the Posterolateral corner stability A Case Series and Surgical Technique
Authors: Babu Abey Thomas , Sahanand Santosh , Rajan David
Published: September 2019

Background: Posterolateral corner injuries can result in persistent varus and rotary instability. Many open/ arthroscopic procedures of reconstruction/ repair have been reported, but there is a paucity of literature on clinical outcomes. We follow an all arthroscopic reconstruction technique of the popliteus sling with the use of the ‘popliteus portal’ in cases of isolated popliteus injuries (intact fibular collateral ligament). Methodds: Prospective case study of 12 patients undergoing Arthroscopic Popliteus sling reconstruction with or without associated cruciate ligament reconstruction was peformed. We report our surgical technique and clinical outcomes. Results: All our patients had good to excellent knee function at final follow up (IKDC and Tegner Scores). We did not encounter any major complications intra or post – operatively. Conclusions: In cases of Popliteus tendon injury without fibular collateral ligament injury, an ‘all – arthroscopic’ Popliteus sling reconstruction is an effective and reproducible technique of restoring posterolateral stability of the knee. The advantages of our procedure are – an ‘all – arthroscopic Technique’, avoiding damage to the meniscotibial ligaments and a more ‘anatomic’ reconstruction of the popliteus sling.

Small Bowel Radiographic Imaging is Not Useful for Isolated Iron-Deficiency Anemia
Authors: Hae Richard , Murthy Sanjay
Published: September 2019

Background

Iron deficiency anemia in the absence of overt bleeding can result from chronic occult blood loss from the gastrointestinal tract. When esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) and colonoscopy fail to demonstrate clinically significant lesions (CSLs), practitioners often consider small bowel investigations, such as CT enterography and video capsule endoscopy. Although most society guidelines recommend further investigations to evaluate the small bowel, few studies have evaluated the utility of small bowel radiographic imaging in this setting.Methods

This is a retrospective cross-sectional study investigating the rates and types of CSLs identified during EGD, colonoscopy and small bowel imaging among individuals over age 50 who were referred for new-onset iron deficiency anemia without overt bleeding. Data was collected on 334 consecutive patients who underwent colonoscopy with or without EGD to evaluate new-onset iron deficiency anemia at The Ottawa Hospital from January 1, 2010 to March 30, 2012. We evaluated the frequency of CSLs among all patients and those who further underwent small bowel radiographic imaging.Results

Of the 332 individuals who underwent colonoscopy, 42 (12.7%) were found to have a CSL, with 37 of these being malignancy or high-grade adenomas. Of the 258 individuals who also underwent EGD, 49 (19.0%) had CSLs, including 11 vascular ectasias, 15 peptic ulcer disease, 8 celiac disease, 8 severe erosive esophagitis, and 9 esophageal varices. Of 243 patients who did not have any CSLs identified on colonoscopy +/- EGD, 75 underwent subsequent small bowel imaging, and 9 patients underwent small bowel imaging despite having a CSL found on endoscopy. A total of 84 patients underwent subsequent small bowel imaging (68 CT enterography, 13 small bowel follow-through, one MR enterography, one CT enteroclysis, and one push enteroscopy). In these 84 patients, only one relevant CSL was found (inflammatory bowel disease).Conclusions

Upper and lower endoscopy are valuable tools for diagnosing gastrointestinal tract lesions in individuals over the age of 50 with newly diagnosed iron deficiency anemia in the absence of overt bleeding. CT enterography and small bowel follow-through have limited utility in this setting.
