Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome (PJS) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder which is characterized by hyperpigmentation in mucocutaneous membranes and hamartomatous polyps in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Common complications reported in patients with PSJ are bleeding and mechanical intestinal obstruction due to the hamartomatous polyps. There is also an increased risk of gastrointestinal and extra-intestinal malignancies in patients with PJS. A 28-year-old female patient was admitted to the emergency service with complaints of abdominal pain and vomiting. In addition to distention and tenderness on abdominal examination, revealed hyperpigmented lesions on her lips. An abdominal examination did not reveal any scar from the previous abdominal operation. The patient with suspected mechanical intestinal obstruction at pre-diagnosis demonstrated intussusception in the distal jejunal loops on abdominal tomography. In the diagnostic laparoscopy observed intussusception in jejunal loops. After a minimal suprapubic incision, small intestine loops were checked through alexis with bidigital palpation and no other intraluminal mass were detected. Laparoscopy-assisted jejunojejunal re-section and anastomosis was performed for the intussusception segment, where the polyb is located. It has been recommended that endoscopic polyps removal should be performed to avoid multiple surgical resections, which lead to short bowel syndrome. It has been recommended that endoscopic polyps removal should be performed to avoid multiple surgical resections, which lead to short bowel syndrome. By the nature of the disease, there may be multiple polyps simultaneously in the GIT and the associated risk of recurrent intussusception attacks in patients with PJS. To prevent short bowel syndrome and intra-abdominal adhesions due to repeated, laparo-tomies treatment with combined endoscopy and laparoscopic/laparoscopy-assisted surgery should be preferred in patients with PJS.

Physical organogenesis of the gut.

Authors:
Nicolas R Chevalier

Development 2022 Aug 18;149(16). Epub 2022 Aug 18.

Laboratoire Matière et Systèmes Complexes, Université Paris Cité, CNRS UMR 7057, 10 rue Alice Domon et Léonie Duquet, 75013 Paris, France.

The gut has been a central subject of organogenesis since Caspar Friedrich Wolff's seminal 1769 work 'De Formatione Intestinorum'. Today, we are moving from a purely genetic understanding of cell specification to a model in which genetics codes for layers of physical-mechanical and electrical properties that drive organogenesis such that organ function and morphogenesis are deeply intertwined. This Review provides an up-to-date survey of the extrinsic and intrinsic mechanical forces acting on the embryonic vertebrate gut during development and of their role in all aspects of intestinal morphogenesis: enteric nervous system formation, epithelium structuring, muscle orientation and differentiation, anisotropic growth and the development of myogenic and neurogenic motility.

Intestinal Ultrasound in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Valuable and Increasingly Important Tool.

Authors:
Catarina Frias-Gomes Joana Torres Carolina Palmela

GE Port J Gastroenterol 2022 Jul 23;29(4):223-239. Epub 2021 Nov 23.

Gastroenterology Division, Surgical Department, Hospital Beatriz Ângelo, Loures, Portugal.

Background: Intestinal ultrasound is emerging as a non-invasive tool for monitoring disease activity in inflammatory bowel disease patients due to its low cost, excellent safety profile, and availability. Herein, we comprehensively review the role of intestinal ultrasound in the management of these patients.

Summary: Intestinal ultrasound has a good accuracy in the diagnosis of Crohn's disease, as well as in the assessment of disease activity, extent, and evaluating disease-related complications, namely strictures, fistulae, and abscesses. Read More

Inflamm Intest Dis 2022 Jul 18;7(2):87-96. Epub 2021 Nov 18.

Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois (CHUV) and University of Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland.

Introduction: Given the lack of data, we aimed to assess the impact of the length of diagnostic delay on the natural history of ulcerative colitis (UC) in pediatric (diagnosed <18 years) and adult patients (diagnosed ≥18 years).

Methods: Data from the Swiss Inflammatory Bowel Disease Cohort Study were analyzed. Diagnostic delay was defined as the interval between the first appearance of UC-related symptoms until diagnosis. Read More

Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Department of Medicine, Penn State University College of Medicine, Hershey, Pennsylvania, USA.

Background: Psychiatric disorders, including anxiety and depression, are significantly more common in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We established an integrated psychiatry clinic for IBD patients at our tertiary center IBD clinic to provide patients with critical, but frequently unavailable, coordinated mental health services. We undertook this study to evaluate the impact of this service on psychiatric outcomes, quality of life, and symptom experience. Read More

KRAS mutation status between left- and right-sided colorectal cancer: are there any differences in computed tomography?

Authors:
Ming-Ming Yu Dan Shi Qi Li Jian-Bin Li Qiang Li Ri-Sheng Yu

Jpn J Radiol 2022 Aug 17. Epub 2022 Aug 17.

Department of Radiology, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, No. 88 Jiefang Road, Shangcheng District, Hangzhou, 310009, China.

Purpose: To investigate the differences in clinicopathological and imaging features according to KRAS mutation status in left- and right-sided colorectal cancer.

Method: A total of 157 patients with pathologically proven colorectal cancer and preoperative contrast-enhanced multidetector CT examinations were enrolled. According to the tumor location and KRAS status, they were divided into two groups: the left-sided colorectal cancer (LCC) group (wild type, mutant type) and the right-sided colorectal cancer (RCC) group (wild type, mutant type).
