Barrett Esophagus-II: Clinical Manifestations and Management

286
Individuals with Barrett's esophagus are often asymptomatic, but they may experience symptoms commonly associated with GERD, such as heartburn and acid regurgitation. Additional symptoms can include difficulty swallowing, chest pain, unintentional weight loss, blood in the stool (which may appear black, tarry, or bloody), and episodes of vomiting.
To diagnose Barrett's esophagus, healthcare providers often recommend an endoscopy for those showing symptoms of acid reflux. The procedure...

Enteral Nutrition II: Nasointestinal and Gastrostomy Feeding

272
Enteral nutrition encompasses various methods of delivering nutrition directly to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, bypassing traditional oral intake. It is particularly beneficial for patients who cannot eat by mouth but have a functioning digestive system. Key methods include nasointestinal feeding, gastrostomy, and jejunostomy, each suited to different clinical scenarios based on the patient's needs and condition.

Area of Science:

  • Bariatric surgery outcomes
  • Geriatric surgery evaluation
  • Metabolic and bariatric procedures

Background:

  • Limited research exists on bariatric surgery for individuals over 70.
  • Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is a common bariatric procedure.
  • Evaluating SG in older adults is crucial for expanding treatment options.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the benefits of sleeve gastrectomy (SG) in patients aged 70 and above.
  • To compare SG outcomes in septuagenarians versus a younger control group.
  • To evaluate safety, weight loss, and comorbidity improvement post-SG.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study of SG patients (June 2017-September 2020).
  • Septuagenarian group (SpG, >70 years) compared to a control group (CG, <60 years).
  • Primary endpoints: 30-day morbidity/mortality, % total weight loss (%TWL), and comorbidity improvement at 1 year.

Main Results:

  • Fifty patients included; groups matched for gender, weight, BMI, and diabetes (DM).
  • Similar 30-day morbidity and mortality between SpG and CG.
  • %TWL was comparable: 26.9% in SpG vs. 28% in CG.
  • Lower DM (50% vs. 85%) and SAH (30% vs. 64%) remission rates in SpG.

Conclusions:

  • Sleeve gastrectomy is a safe procedure for patients over 70 years.
  • Early results indicate similar weight loss benefits compared to younger patients.
  • Septuagenarians showed reduced remission rates for diabetes and systemic arterial hypertension.
