- Introduction: Chronic constipation is highly prevalent, affecting between 10% and 15% of the population. The Rome IV criteria categorizes disorders of chronic constipation into four subtypes: (a) functional constipation, (b) irritable bowel syndrome with constipation, (c) opioid-induced constipation, and (d) functional defecation disorders, including inadequate defecatory propulsion and dyssynergic defecation. The initial management approach for these disorders is similar, focusing on diet, lifestyle and the use of standard over-the-counter laxatives. If unsuccessful, further therapy is tailored according to subtype. Areas covered: This review covers the definition, epidemiology, diagnostic criteria, investigations and management of the Rome IV disorders of chronic constipation. Expert opinion: By adopting a logical step-wise approach toward the diagnosis of chronic constipation and its individual subtypes, clinicians have the opportunity to tailor therapy accordingly and improve symptoms, quality of life, and patient satisfaction.

Management of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy
- 2015

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is the most common liver disease during pregnancy, characterized by otherwise unexplained pruritus in late second and third trimester of pregnancy and elevated bile acids and/or transaminases. ICP is associated with an increased risk of adverse perinatal outcomes for the fetus and the later development of hepatobiliary disease for the mother. Bile acids should be monitored throughout pregnancy since fetal risk is increased at serum bile acids >40 mu mol/l. Management of ICP consists of treatment with ursodeoxycholic acid, which reduces pruritus. Early elective delivery is common practice but should be performed on an individualized basis as long as strong evidence supporting this practice is lacking. Mothers should be followed-up for normalization of liver function tests 6-12 weeks after delivery. Future research in large-scale studies is needed to address the impact of ursodeoxycholic acid and early elective delivery on fetal outcome.

Is lung involvement a favorable prognostic factor for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma with synchronous liver metastases?—A propensity score analysis

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- BackgroundFor advanced pancreatic cancer, pulmonary metastases (PM) have been considered favorable factors compared to metastases of other sites, but it remains unknown whether the prognosis of patients with synchronous liver and lung metastases is better than that of non-PM.MethodsData was derived from a two-decade cohort and included 932 cases of pancreatic adenocarcinoma with synchronous liver metastases (PACLM). Propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to balance 360 selected cases, grouped into PM (n = 90) and non-PM (n = 270). Overall survival (OS) and survival-related factors were analyzed.ResultsIn PSM-adjusted data, the median OS was 7.3 and 5.8 months, for PM and non-PM, respectively (p = 0.16). Multivariate analysis revealed that male gender, poor performance status, higher hepatic tumor burden, ascites, elevated carbohydrate antigen 19–9, and lactate dehydrogenase were factors of poor survival (p < 0.05). Chemotherapy was the only independent significant factor of favorable prognosis (p < 0.05).ConclusionAlthough lung involvement was indicated to be a favorable prognostic factor for patients with PACLM in the whole cohort, PM were not associated with better survivals in the subset of cases subjected to PSM adjustment.
