Lewy pathology affects the gastrointestinal tract in Parkinson's disease (PD) and data from
recent genetic studies suggest a link between PD and gut inflammation. We therefore …

The European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) and United European
Gastroenterology (UEG) have identified quality of endoscopy as a major priority and we …

Functional and morphological alterations of the intestinal epithelial barrier (IEB) have been
consistently reported in digestive disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome and …

Background The presence of Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites (LN) has been demonstrated
in the enteric nervous system (ENS) of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. The aims of the …

BACKGROUND: Colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) represents a noninvasive technology that
allows visualization of the colon without requiring sedation and air insufflation. A second …

BACKGROUND: Probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) allows real-time
detection of neoplastic Barrett's esophagus (BE) tissue. However, the accuracy of pCLE in …

Background & Aims We aimed to develop and validate a deep-learning computer-aided
detection (CAD) system, suitable for use in real time in clinical practice, to improve …

1 ESGE suggests that high definition endoscopy, and dye or virtual chromoendoscopy, as
well as add-on devices, can be used in average risk patients to increase the endoscopist's …

responsible for the major motor symptoms. Nevertheless, it has become increasingly evident
that PD is a multicentric neurodegenerative process that also affects neuronal structures …

Although recent studies have shown that enteric neurons control intestinal barrier function,
the role of enteric glial cells (EGCs) in this control remains unknown. Therefore, our goal …
