Association of ultraprocessed food consumption with colorectal cancer risk: 3 large prospective cohorts, high consumption of total ultraprocessed foods in men and certain subgroups of ultraprocessed foods in men and women was associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer.
Hepatitis B vaccination protects for at least 35 years: A recent study demonstrates that a hepatitis B vaccination protects 86% of vaccinees even 35 years later (anti-HBs titer ≥ 10 mIU/ml or response to a single booster dose). Booster vaccinations are thus not required in the general population at this time.
25% of patients with suspected non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) display harmful alcohol consumption: A current, much-discussed Austrian study concludes that in patients with NAFLD, screening for alcohol consumption should be performed using a structured questionnaire (e. g. AUDIT-C, 3 questions about alcohol consumption) or ethyl glucuronide in urine or hair.
Early long-term carvedilol therapy reduces decompensation rate and mortality in compensated cirrhosis: A recent meta-analysis suggests that patients with compensated cirrhosis should be screened for clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH, hepatic venous pressure gradient [HVPG] ≥ 10 mmHg) to enable early carvedilol therapy and thus improve prognosis. Translation of these results into practice will, however, require a pragmatic algorithm.
Substantial risk of gastric dysplasia within fundic gland polyps in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP): A retrospective monocentric cohort study suggests that the incidence of gastric dysplasia and cancer within fundic gland polyps may be much higher than anticipated. A novel endoscopic polypectomy surveillance using large volume cold-snare polypectomy may be useful to optimize early detection of dysplasia and cancer.
Association of bariatric surgery with cancer risk and mortality in adults with obesity: Results of a large American cohort study reveal that adults with obesity undergoing bariatric surgery have a significant lower incidence of obesity-associated cancer and cancer-related mortality in a follow-up period of 10 years.
Infliximab retreatment after prior loss of response in Crohn’s disease: Infliximab retreatment in patients with Crohn’s disease who had discontinued therapy more than 6 months earlier due to loss of response or intolerance resulted in clinical remission in approximately one third of patients in a prospective cohort study.
Association between fatty pancreas and diabetes mellitus development: Results of a prospective cohort study indicate that fatty pancreas is independently associated with subsequent development of diabetes mellitus, but not of hypertension or dyslipidemia.
