Fecal Microbiota Transplantation.
نویسنده
چکیده
In another feature article, Dr Paul Fitzmorris and Dr Ashwani K. Singal discuss surveillance and diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma, the third leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Physicians continue to underutilize surveillance techniques, which can identify hepatocellular carcinoma at an early stage and thereby improve prognosis. A practical approach to therapeutic drug monitoring in children and young adults with inflammatory bowel disease is provided by Dr Namita Singh and Dr Marla C. Dubinsky in their feature article. The authors state that it is critical for prescribers to recognize that standard dosing is insufficient for most patients, given the interindividual variability in response and tolerability. Young patients in particular will benefit from such monitoring, based on the limited number of medications available for them and the need for effective, long-term treatment strategies. In our Advances in Endoscopy column, Dr Matthew D. Rutter describes his study on the effect of previous hysterectomy on colonoscopy. These patients are more likely to experience moderate or severe discomfort during the procedure, and Dr Rutter provides suggestions on how to improve outcomes. Dr Kris Kowdley discusses spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in our Advances in Hepatology column. This condition, which can develop in patients with cirrhosis, can be fatal if left untreated. Because most patients are infected with gram-negative or enteric bacteria, effective management options are available. In our Advances in GERD column, Dr Nicholas J. Shaheen examines the prevalence and treatment of Barrett esophagus and its link to esophageal adenocarcinoma. Dr Asher Kornbluth discusses the use of budesonide extendedrelease in patients with mild to moderate ulcerative colitis in the Advances in IBD column. I hope you find this issue interesting and informative. Happy New Year!
