INTRODUCTION: There is a complex interrelationship between gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) potentially promoting the occurrence and modulating severity of each other reciprocally. Presence of Barrett's Esophagus (BE) is a defining factor for the diagnosis of GERD. While several studies investigated the potential impact of concomitant GERD on the presentation and course of EoE, little is known with regards to BE in EoE patients. METHODS: We analyzed prospectively collected clinical, endoscopic and histological data from patients enrolled in the Swiss Eosinophilic Esophagitis Cohort Study (SEECS) regarding differences between EoE patients with (EoE/BE+) vs...

BACKGROUND: The DNA Mismatch repair (MMR) system is a highly preserved protein complex recognizing short insertions, short deletions and single base mismatches during DNA replication and recombination. MMR protein status is identified using immunohistochemistry (IHC). Deficit in one or more MMR proteins, configuring deficient MMR status (dMMR), leads to frameshift mutations particularly clustered in microsatellite repeats. Thus, microsatellite instability (MSI) is the epiphenomenon of dMMR...

Introduction The proportion of gastroduodenal ulcers caused by drugs is increasing. However, the risk of gastroduodenal ulcer from drugs other than non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and low-dose aspirin (LDA) is unclear. An association between immunosuppressive drugs and gastroduodenal ulcers has been suggested. We aimed to identify the immunosuppressive drugs and clinical characteristics associated with gastroduodenal ulcers in post-liver transplant patients. Methods The study investigated 119 patients who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy after liver transplantation and two patients were excluded...
