Authors: S Russo, A Caruso, G Grande, S Mangiafico, F Pigò, S Cocca, H Bertani, M Raffaele, R Conigliaro
Journal: Endoscopy (2020)

A 77-year-old woman was admitted at our Hospital because of 6 cm large iatrogenic sigma perforation occurred during a diagnostic colonscopy. Bleeding was controlled with adrenaline injection and ‘king closure’ was performed. The contrastography showed a small residual wall defect that was closed with an OTSC 12 T. The patient was treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics and observed during the following days while being kept fasting. Atfer 5 days oral feeding was resumed and on twelfth day the patient was discharged. A CT with colonic contrast injection performed on the 22th day showed a complete resolution of pneumoperitoneum, pneumomediastinum and right pneumothorax.
Validation of Medicare Rehabilitation Functional Assessments in Routine Care
Authors: Kevin A. Kerber, Lesli E. Skolarus, Chunyang Feng, James F. Burke
Journal: JAMA Network Open (2020)

<h3>Importance</h3> Assessment of functional outcomes is currently limited by a lack of large data sets. Functional assessments are included in Medicare rehabilitation assessment files, yet the validity of these measures in routine care is unknown. <h3>Objective</h3> To evaluate the validity of individual-level routine care functional assessments in Medicare rehabilitation settings compared with criterion-standard National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS) research assessments obtained no more than 90 days later. <h3>Design, Setting, and Participants</h3> This cross-sectional study of individuals aged 65 years and older used the 2011 to 2015 NHATS linked with Medicare assessment files. Individuals with a discharge assessment from inpatient rehabilitation facilities, skilled nursing facilities, or home health agencies and a criterion-standard NHATS assessment were included. Data analysis was performed June 2019 to November 2019. <h3>Main Outcomes and Measures</h3> Summary functional assessment based on independence with eating, toilet hygiene, bathing, dressing, transfers, and mobility or walking. Linear regression was used to assess agreement between the 2 scales, adjusting for time between assessments and rehabilitation setting. <h3>Results</h3> A total of 1036 adults aged 65 years and older (671 [64.8%] aged ≥80 years; 670 [64.7%] women; 685 [66.1%] white participants) met the study criteria. The correlation of the assessments was 0.63 (95% CI, 0.59 to 0.66; mean [SD] rehabilitation score, 27.5 [7.2]; mean [SD] NHATS score, 30.5 [10.1]). The correlation increased to 0.66 (95% CI, 0.60 to 0.71) for assessments no more than 30 days apart. The linear regression model adjusting for rehabilitation setting and days between evaluations found the assessments were strongly correlated (β = 1.00 [95% CI, 0.93 to 1.08]; intercept, 0.72 [95% CI, −1.79 to 3.24];<i>R</i><sup>2</sup> = 0.42). Differences in scores were generally small (mean [SD] of NHATS − rehabilitation score, 2.96 [7.91]), and only 59 assessments (5.7%) differed by more than 2 SDs of the mean difference. Rehabilitation service scores were typically higher than NHATS scores in individuals with lower mean scores; however, the population with lower mean scores was small (156 [15.1%]). <h3>Conclusions and Relevance</h3> In this large sample of older US adults, routine care rehabilitation facility functional assessments had overall moderate correlation with criterion-standard research assessments.

PERCUTANEOUS CHOLANGIOSCOPY AN INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO
Authors: TE Menabawey, C Parisinos, H Martin, G Webster
Journal: Endoscopy (2020)

Gastroenterologists are increasingly being asked to perform ERCPs on patients with altered surgical anatomy, particularly bariatric patients whom have had gastric bypass surgery. In these patients retrograde biliary access may be difficult or impossible and percutaneous trans-hepatic access may be appropriate. This allows cholangioscopy access for the direct visualisation or management of calculi and the assessment of strictures.

Journal: JAMA Network Open (2020)

Although racial/ethnic differences in functional outcomes after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) exist, whether such differences are associated with differences in presurgical physical function (PF) has not been thoroughly investigated.To examine trajectories of PF by race/ethnicity before and after TKA among older women.This cohort study was conducted among the prospective Women's Health Initiative with linked Medicare claims data. A total of 10 325 community-dwelling women throughout the United States with Medicare fee-for-service underwent primary TKA between October 1, 1993, and December 31, 2014, and were followed up through March 31, 2017.Race/ethnicity comparisons between Hispanic or Latina women, non-Hispanic black or African American women, and non-Hispanic white women (hereafter referred to as Hispanic, black, and white women, respectively).Physical functioning scale scores and self-reported activity limitations with walking 1 block, walking several blocks, and climbing 1 flight of stairs were measured by the RAND 36-Item Health Survey during the decade before and after TKA, with a median of 9 PF measurements collected per participant over time.In total, 9528 white women (mean [SD] age at surgery, 74.6 [5.5] years), 622 black women (mean [SD] age at surgery, 73.1 [5.3] years), and 175 Hispanic women (mean [SD] age at surgery, 73.1 [5.2] years) underwent TKA. During the decade prior to TKA, black women had lower PF scores than white women (mean difference, -5.8 [95% CI, -8.0 to -3.6]) and higher odds of experiencing difficulty walking a single block (5 years before TKA: odds ratio, 1.86 [95% CI, 1.57-2.21]), walking multiple blocks (odds ratio, 2.14 [95% CI, 1.83-2.50]), and climbing 1 flight of stairs (odds ratio, 1.81 [95% CI, 1.55-2.12]). After TKA, black women continued to have lower PF scores throughout the decade (mean difference 1 year after TKA, -7.8 [95% CI, -10.8 to -4.9]). After adjusting for preoperative PF scores, PF scores after TKA were attenuated (mean difference 1 year after TKA, -3.0 [95% CI, -5.3 to -0.7]), with no statistically significant differences in long-term follow-up. Hispanic women had similar PF scores to white women during the pre-TKA and post-TKA periods.This study suggests that black women had significantly poorer PF than white women during the decades before and after TKA. Poorer PF after surgery was associated with poorer preoperative PF. Reducing disparities in post-TKA functional outcomes should target maintenance of function preoperatively in the early stages of arthritic disease and/or reduction of delays to receiving TKA once need arises.
Covid-19: Low skilled men have highest death rate of working age adults
Authors: Jacqui Wise
Journal: BMJ (2020)

Men working in the lowest skilled jobs had the highest rate of death involving covid-19 among working age people, the latest figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show.1

However, healthcare workers, including doctors and nurses, were not found to have statistically higher rates of death involving covid-19 when compared with the rate among those of the same age and sex in the general population.

There were 2494 deaths involving covid-19 among 20 to 64 year olds registered up to 20 April 2020 in England and Wales. Nearly two thirds of these deaths were among men. Three quarters of the deaths (1852) recorded included information on occupation and so were included in the analysis.

Authors: L Lamonaca, S Carrara, P Spaggiari, Crist Bonifacio, M Di Leo, M Spadaccini, V Craviotto, A Fugazza, F Auriemma, R Maselli, A Anderloni, A Repici
Journal: Endoscopy (2020)

Pancreatic cystic lesions are usually primary tumors of the pancreas though metastasis from distant tumors are possible, with ovarian cancer metastases rarely reported. An asymptomatic 57-year old woman with ovarian cancer diagnosed in 2013 and treated with hysteroannessiectomy and chemotherapy was referred on July 2019 for a newly diagnosed pancreatic tail cystic lesion. EUS showed a unilocular cyst with thickened wall and an enhancing mural nodule of 20 mm. A similar cystic lesion was seen in the spleen. Cytological evaluation from EUS-FNA showed neoplastic malignant cells with PAX8 positivity, similarly to the immunohistochemistry pattern of the original tumor.

PHOTOGRAPHIC DOCUMENTATION OF UPPER GASTROINTESTINAL LANDMARKS AT GASTROSCOPY: HOW GOOD IS IT?
Authors: R Patel, S Christie, R Canda, K Besherdas
Journal: Endoscopy (2020)

Aims The European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) guidelines describe a systematic approach to photo-documentation with a recommendation of eight anatomical landmarks to improve diagnostic endoscopy quality. This practice encourages mucosal cleansing, mucosal inspection and ensures a complete examination. The aim of this study was to retrospectively assess the photo-documentation at gastroscopy in clinical practice and compare this to the recommended sites as per the ESGE guidelines.
Cutaneous Manifestations of Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody–Associated Vasculitis
Authors: Robert G. Micheletti, Zelma Chiesa Fuxench, Anthea Craven, Richard A. Watts, Raashid A. Luqmani, Peter A. Merkel
Journal: Arthritis & Rheumatology (2020)

Cutaneous manifestations of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV), including granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), are poorly characterized. This report describes the dermatologic features of AAV and their association with systemic manifestations of vasculitis.A cross-sectional study identifying and comparing the cutaneous manifestations of AAV was performed using data from a large, international, collaborative effort in order to collect comprehensive clinical data on patients with vasculitis.Data from 1,184 patients with AAV from 130 centers worldwide were available. Cutaneous manifestations were common in all AAV subtypes: GPA (223 of 656, or 34%), MPA (85 of 302, or 28%), and EGPA (106 of 226, or 47%). The most frequent cutaneous manifestation in AAV (all types) was petechiae/purpura, which was observed in 181 patients (15%). Allergic and nonspecific manifestations, such as pruritus, urticaria, and maculopapular rash, were more common in EGPA than in other disease subtypes (all P < 0.01). Skin biopsy, while underutilized (performed in 22-44% of patients), was frequently found to be an effective test suitable for diagnosis of AAV (diagnostic in 68-94% of patients). Compared to patients without cutaneous manifestations, those with skin lesions more frequently had severe systemic manifestations of vasculitis (such as alveolar hemorrhage and glomerulonephritis), specifically patients with GPA or EGPA and cytoplasmic/anti-proteinase 3 (anti-PR3) ANCA-positive or ANCA-negative patients (hazard ratio >1.9 for all), but not those with MPA or perinuclear/antimyeloperoxidase ANCAs.Cutaneous manifestations are common and varied in AAV and are associated with disease severity in patients with GPA, EGPA, cytoplasmic/anti-PR3 ANCA, or ANCA-negative disease. These findings underscore the potential diagnostic and prognostic importance of the cutaneous examination in the evaluation and management of AAV.

Authors: S Mrabet, I Akkari, EB Jazia
Journal: Endoscopy (2020)

Aims Uncomplicated gallstones is an indication for surgery when it is symptomatic. However, it is difficult in some cases to link the symptoms to the biliary origin without digestive exploration. The purpose of our study is to determine the interest of upper gastrointestinal endooscopy (UGE) before cholecystectomy in these patients.
ENDOSCOPIC TREATMENT OF GASTRO-ESOFAGIC REFLUX DISEASE - ARMS-A TECHNIQUE
Authors: CC Rebelo, N Nunes, MF de Lima, DB Moura, JR Pereira, VC Santos, AC Rego, N Paz, MA Duarte
Journal: Endoscopy (2020)

We present an endoscopic approach to the management of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) using an anti-reflux mucosotomy technique (ARMS-A), employed as an option on patients with refractory GERD with proton-pump inhibitors (PPI) and who refuse surgery. The technique is performed in retroflexion, with the application of argon-plasma on the gastric mucosa of the gastro-esophageal junction, creating a circumferential mucosal ulceration and consequently leading to a narrowing of the gastric cardia opening. The scar formation after healing leads to a fundoplication-like effect. This is a simple technique, may allow discontinuation of the PPI and promises a sustained relief of symptoms.
The use of novel modified endoscopic vacuum therapies in the management of a transmural rectal wall defect
Authors: Diogo Turiani Hourneaux de Moura, Epifânio Silvino do Monte Junior, Kelly E. Hathorn, Igor Braga Ribeiro, Flaubert Sena de Medeiros, Christopher C. Thompson, Eduardo Guimarães Hourneaux de Moura
Journal: Endoscopy (2020)

Gastrointestinal transmural defects are difficult to manage and are associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality [1] [2]. Endoscopic vacuum therapy (EVT) has developed into a safe and effective tool for intraluminal treatment of these conditions. However, the high cost of the sponge system may limit a wide spectrum of use [2] [3] [4]. In this video, we describe two cost-effective modified EVTs for treatment of transmural defects.
NON-AMPULLARY SPORADIC DUODENAL ADENOMAS - TIME FOR A CONSENSUS ON ENDOSCOPIC RESECTION?
Authors: L Materacki, D Napier, D Tate, J Anderson
Journal: Endoscopy (2020)

Aims Sporadic duodenal adenomas (SDAs) are a rare but important endoscopic finding due to their malignant potential. Although endoscopic resection (ER) is generally advocated this carries significant risk related to the relatively thin, vascular and fixed duodenal wall. The lack of guidelines related to SDAs leads to variability in their management with potential implications for patient outcomes.
