Background: Capecitabine and oxaliplatin (CAPOX) and infusional 5-fluouracil, folinic acid, and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) are the two chemotherapy regimens in current clinical use for the adjuvant treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC). Many centers in Newf...
Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection can be diagnosed by invasive and noninvasive methods, and, among the former, Rapid Urease Tests (RUTs) are an important option. Accuracy and rapidity of results are fundamental for RUTs. The aim of the study is to p...
Introduction: One-third of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients present with advanced disease, and establishing control remains a challenge. Identifying novel biomarkers to facilitate earlier diagnosis is imperative in enhancing oncological outcomes. We...
Fecal calprotectin (FC), chitinase 3-like-1 protein (CHI3L1), S100A12 and osteoprotegerin (OPG) are biomarkers of intestinal inflammation. This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate these biomarkers in a cohort of children with Crohn’s diseas...
The DNA damage response (DDR) is critical for maintaining genome stability, and abnormal DDR—resulting from mutations in DNA damage-sensing and repair proteins—is a hallmark of cancer. Here, we aimed to investigate the predictive power of...
Elastography is currently used clinically to diagnose the degree of liver stiffness. We sought to develop a shear-wave elastography (SWE) measurement method using ultrasound in mice and to compare its results with those of other noninvasive tests for...
Gastrointestinal adverse events (GIAEs) are common in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated with sorafenib. Diarrhea is a prevalent event responsible for treatment interruptions and dosage modifications. Our study evaluates th...
Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Flemish colorectal cancer (CRC) screening program (by fecal immunochemical test, FIT) was suspended and non-urgent medical procedures were discommended. This study estimates how this impacted diagnostic c...
The purpose of this article is to provide a direction for translational research based on an analysis of the nature of complex, immune-related conditions such as obesity and coeliac disease. In essence, it seems that the prevalence of these non-commu...
Colorectal cancer screening can contribute to reducing colorectal cancer incidence and mortality. Findings on disparities in the utilization of colorectal cancer screening between migrants and non-migrants have been inconsistent, with some studies re...
