Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Non-variceal gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding remains a major problem in clinical practice, and the morbidity and mortality associated with this type of bleeding remain high. During the last few years, new guidelines have been published by different scientific societies and expert groups. These guidelines have been updated with new advances in diagnosis and instrumental or pharmacological treatment; however, they also point out a number of issues that require further investigation.

For this Special Issue, we seek original research papers focused on any of the aspects that require new insights and investigation. Specifically, we solicit papers focused on pre-endoscopic, endoscopic, and post-endoscopic management of patients with non-variceal GI bleeding. However, studies focused on the prevention of GI bleeding are also welcome as well as those focused on the long-term management of patients who have suffered from non-variceal upper, mid, or lower GI bleeding. Obscure gastrointestinal bleeding is also a challenge and studies on this type of bleeding will be especially welcome. Similarly, we are looking for studies that deal with artificial intelligence or artificial neural networks. Finally, new ideas on mechanisms of pathogenesis that can form the basis for new diagnostics or therapeutics approaches will also be especially welcome.

Abstract
The gastrointestinal tract is a long tubular structure wherein any point in the mucosa along its entire length could be the source of a hemorrhage. Upper (esophagel and gastroduodenal) and lower (jejunum, ileum, and colon) gastrointestinal bleeding are common. Gastroduodenal and colonic bleeding [...] Read more.
The gastrointestinal tract is a long tubular structure wherein any point in the mucosa along its entire length could be the source of a hemorrhage. Upper (esophagel and gastroduodenal) and lower (jejunum, ileum, and colon) gastrointestinal bleeding are common. Gastroduodenal and colonic bleeding are more frequent than bleeding from the small bowel, but nowadays the entire gastrointestinal tract can be explored endoscopically and bleeding lesions can be locally treated successfully to stop or prevent further bleeding. The extensive use of antiplatelet and anticoagulants drugs in cardiovascular patients is, at least in part, the cause of the increasing number of patients suffering from gastrointestinal bleeding. Patients with these conditions are usually older and more fragile because of their comorbidities. The correct management of antithrombotic drugs in cases of gastrointestinal bleeding is essential for a successful outcome for patients. The influence of the microbiome in the pathogenesis of small bowel bleeding is an example of the new data that are emerging as potential therapeutic target for bleeding prevention. This text summarizes the latest research and advances in all forms of acute gastrointestinal bleeding (i.e., upper, small bowel and lower). Diagnosis is approached, and medical, endoscopic or antithrombotic management are discussed in the text in an accessible and comprehensible way. Full article
