Although biliary canal cysts were first described around the 1720s, the aetiology, physiopathology, natural course, and treatment options of the disease remain controversial. These cysts are becoming more common and can now be more easily diagnosed thanks to recent developments in imaging methods. Nevertheless, if left un-diagnosed, the risk of progressive complications such as spontaneous perf...
OBJECTIVE To investigate the final diagnosis of patients with unexplained dysphagia and the clinical and laboratory findings supporting the diagnosis. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 143 patients with dysphagia of unclear etiology who underwent a videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS).

Out of 64 patients diagnosed with urticarial vasculitis (UV), 49 (76.6%) presented with their first attack of UV. The others experienced recurrent attacks with a mean number of 3.3 past recurrences. Fifteen patients had angioedema (23.4%) and 16 (25%) suffered systemic involvement. The most common abnormal laboratory finding was an increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate.

OPINION STATEMENT Thus far, no data from randomized placebo-controlled clinical trials are available for hypnic headache, so current treatment recommendations are based on single case reports and smaller open case series. In the predominantly elderly patient population affected by this disease, tolerability of the substances used is at least as important as their efficacy. Caffeine is the prefe...
The clinical and social characteristics of 118 patients with Buerger's disease (thromboangiitis obliterans: TAO) were surveyed. The prognosis for many patients is relatively favorable. Arterial reconstruction plays a role in shortening the healing times of ischemic ulcers despite its poor long-term results. Of 118 patients, 13 underwent major lower limb amputation (11%), 33 underwent foot or to...
OBJECTIVES Collagenous colitis is a chronic diarrheal disease characterized by a normal or near-normal mucosa endoscopically and microscopic inflammation in the lamina propria, surface epithelial injury and a thick subepithelial collagen layer. The symptoms of collagenous colitis vary in duration and intensity, and long periods of remission have been described, but long-term follow-up data are ...
Accurate clinical course descriptions (phenotypes) of multiple sclerosis (MS) are important for communication, prognostication, design and recruitment of clinical trials, and treatment decision-making. Standardized descriptions published in 1996 based on a survey of international MS experts provided purely clinical phenotypes based on data and consensus at that time, but imaging and biological ...
A study was conducted on the natural history of haematemesis in patients with peptic ulcer and in those with negative radiological examination, the bleed having occurred at least 5 years previously; excluded were those who had undergone emergency or interim surgery. No significant difference was found in the average severity of the bleed between the ulcer and non-ulcer groups, which were compar...
