Abstract
Background Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) can be triggered by bacterial dysentery. This study aimed to investigate postinfectious IBS and its risk factors after the shigellosis outbreak in hospitalized patients. Methods This retrospective study was conducted in 2020-2021 in referral hospitals for Shigella gastroenteritis during the 2014 shigellosis outbreak in Isfahan. The Shigella-infected group included hospitalized shigellosis patients with clinical symptoms and positive stool culture. The control group included patients matched pairwise on age and sex to the Shigella-infected group, admitted to the same hospitals in the same period with diagnoses other than shigellosis. Both groups had no history of diagnosed IBS before the outbreak. The incidence of IBS (according to Rome-III criteria) and its related factors was compared between the 2 groups 5 years after infection. Results Of 619 participants, 220 (35.5%) were in the Shigella-infected group. The 5-year incidence of IBS was 31.8% and 5.7% in the Shigella-infected and control groups, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that shigellosis was significantly associated with increased risk of IBS (odds ratio [OR], 17.18 [95% confidence interval {CI}, 9.37-31.48]). Multivariate analysis indicated education level (OR, 4.15 [95% CI, 1.47-11.73]), diarrhea lasting >4 days (OR, 1.69 [95% CI, 1.17-2.44]), and abdominal cramps during the infection (OR, 0.27 [95% CI, .77-.95]) associated with postinfectious IBS (P < .05). Conclusions Hospitalized patients with Shigella gastroenteritis are at increased risk of IBS within 5 years after infection. Factors such as higher education level and the absence of abdominal cramps and diarrhea persisting for >5 days during hospitalization can further increase this risk.

Abstract
Endoscopic removal of premalignant polyps can prevent colorectal cancers. It is considered a safe procedure, yet there are some complications reported. Rectus abdominis muscle abscess (RAMA) is a type of pyomyositis seen as a complication of rectus sheath hematoma. Predisposing factors to RAMA include trauma, diabetes mellitus, alcohol abuse, Intravenous drug abuse and hematologic diseases.In this article, we report a case of a 74-year-old patient with abscess formation in the Rectus Abdominis muscle after colonoscopy and polypectomy with the application of abdominal pressure techniques without any early complications. Diagnosis of RAMA was made after a Computed Tomography scan and ultrasound-guided drainage, in addition to antibiotic therapy, were used as treatment.Although colonoscopy is considered a generally safe procedure, endoscopists should be aware of Rectus Abdominis sheath hemorrhage and RAMA in the following as a complication with the presentation of abdominal pain. Applying abdominal pressure should be done carefully To reduce minor trauma likelihood, owing to it being a predisposing factor of RAMA.

Abstract
Benign pneumoperitoneum can happen after colonoscopy, which shows itself as free air in the abdomen without symptoms or pneumoperitoneum without peritonitis. In this case, we reported a rare case of an elderly man who had acute abdominal stiffness after colonoscopy and observation of free air under the diaphragm that no perforation was observed in the intestine during laparoscopy and only one tiny intestinal tumor was randomly reported. There is no consensus on the treatment of pneumoperitoneum after colonoscopy. Patients with peritonitis benefit from laparoscopy but patients with micro perforation and asymptomatic patients benefit from intravenous antibiotic treatment and bowel rest.

Abstract
Background Disease registration is an organized system for collecting, storing, retrieving, analyzing a particular disease or exposure to known substances in a specific population. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility and design of the registration system for upper gastrointestinal bleeding patients based on patients referring to Al-Zahra and Khorshid hospitals, Isfahan, Iran. Materials and Methods This study is a research action study in which the members of the registration system team are hospital triage physicians, internal residents in the Emergency department of hospital, subspecialty assistants and gastroenterologists, statisticians (epidemiologists and methodologists), and two trained persons were specified to collect medical information and documents. The data collection tool is a researcher-made checklist. Based on the available tools, the most important criteria related to gastrointestinal bleeding were selected. In the next step, the criteria selected in the council, including team members, were reviewed and a preliminary draft was prepared to record the information of patients. Results The results indicated the final version of the checklist in three parts including demographic variables (age, sex, education, et al.), main variables (as the minimum data required by a person to register in the checklist (patient's clinical signs)), extended main variables (its information is designed to be used to diagnose, treat, and follow-up the patient in later stages). Conclusion It seems to be predictable by establishing a system for recording gastrointestinal bleeding diseases, disease prevalence, monitoring services and treatment of patients, survival analysis and evaluation of clinical care outcomes, finding patients at higher risk for emergency treatment, reviewing drug interventions, and interventional activities.

Abstract
In this study, we considered an 83-year-old male patient admitted to the Al-Zahra hospital emergency department in Isfahan. He complained of fatigue, weakness, headache, and cough. In addition, he had hallucinations and delusions for two days; but he had no fever and chill. His physical examination showed a blood pressure of 170/100 mm Hg, heart rate of 142 beats per minute (bpm), respiratory rate of 23 pbm, oxygen saturation (in room air) of 83%, and oxygen bag reserve mask of 93%. We realized cardiac involvement during hospitalization, including sinus bradycardia, first-degree atrioventricular (AV) block, recurrent premature ventricular from tricuspid ring, atrial tachycardia (AT) rhythm with variable AV conduction block, increased heart rate with functional bundle branch block, and negative troponin. The patient was treated with medicines to control heart rate and admitted to the cardiac care unit (CCU). Next, the patient was intubated due to a worsening lung condition. Afterward, he was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) and died the next day. According to the literature, compromised cardiac vascular is the most common complications in hospitalized patients due to COVID-19 infection and has a higher mortality risk. Cardiac arrhythmias are additionally common clinical manifestations. These arrhythmias seem to be caused by inflammatory responses in the myocardium, electrolyte disorders, and hypoxia. Our patient showed that the COVID-19 virus might induce different types of arrhythmias.

Abstract
Aim In this study, we aim to propose consensus-based interpretations to enhance both automatic, and manual analysis and then present our recommendations about reflux-related variables to enhance Multichannel Intraluminal (MII) measurements. Background Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring is the most sensible option to evaluate Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), specifically for the patients with normal endoscopy findings, and persistent symptoms without response to Proton Pomp Inhibitor therapy. There were only a few studies on the interpretation of reflux events in MII tracings. Methods Several 200 episodes of reflux events were reviewed during several meetings in five steps, to discuss and categorize unresolved issues within existing interpretations, and propose technical principles for accurate characterization of reflux events. Results In this study, we show that baseline impedance is determined using a moving average procedure to the impedance data of each channel with a time window of 60 seconds based on this finding; a liquid reflux event is defined as a retrograde 50% drop in baseline impedance, gas reflux event is defined as a rapid increase in impedance greater than 5 kΩ, Mixed liquid-gas reflux is defined as gas reflux occurring immediately before or during liquid reflux. Conclusion The reliability of final diagnosis is significantly dependent on the accurate detection of reflux events, which is currently confronting technical limitations. A pathological reflux event propagates to at least three of the impedance sites, according to the literature. We think that taking three impedance locations into account might be too strict.

Abstract
Background Functional abdominal bloating is one of the functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs). Here, we aimed to investigate and compare the effects of probiotics and colloidal bismuth subcitrate on abdominal bloating. Methods This was a double-blinded randomized clinical trial performed on 125 patients with functional abdominal bloating in Isfahan in 2020-2021. At the beginning of the study, information on the frequency of abdominal bloating, its severity, the occurrence of early satiety, frequency of borborygmus, frequency of belching, and the frequency of defecation per week was collected. Patients were divided into 3 groups receiving familact probiotic pills that contained 7 bacterial strains, colloidal bismuth subcitrate tablets, and placebo pills for 4 weeks. Afterwards, the frequency and severity of abdominal bloating and other symptoms were compared. Results After 2 weeks, patients in the probiotic group had a significantly lower frequency of abdominal bloating compared to other groups (P= 0.006). After 4 and 8 weeks, patients in the probiotic group and bismuth group had a lower frequency of bloating )3.18±3.02, 4.11±3.34) compared to placebo (5.10±3.54) (P= 0.001 and P= 0.037, respectively). During the study, patients in the probiotic group had a significantly lower bloating severity (41.90% had no symptom) compared to bismuth and placebo groups (12.50 ,12.00% had no symptom) (p< 0.05). The frequency of borborygmus was significantly lower in the probiotic group after 2 and 4 weeks during the study compared to other groups (1.62±0.2 Vs 2.69±0.3, 2.45±0.3 ) (P= 0.010 and P= 0.013, respectively). Conclusion According to our data, consumption of probiotics improves the frequency and severity of abdominal bloating and reduces borborygmus. Colloidal bismuth subcitrate also has significant effects.

Abstract
Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is a frequent and multifactorial malignancy worldwide. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between some risk factors of GC and the 1-year or 5-year survival rates in newly diagnosed patients in Isfahan in 2016. Methods: We included 274 newly diagnosed patients in this survival analysis from a database of 484 GC cases. We used a checklist to collect information. To inform about missed data, we call the patients or their families in non-survived cases. We evaluated each patient's age, sex, body mass index (BMI), education, salt, salty foods, and red meat consumption. In addition, we asked patients about the intake of fresh fruits and vegetables, tobacco smoking, opium usage, and alcohol consumption. We surveyed the patient's job, physical activity, Helicobacter pylori infection, family history of GC, history of gastric surgery, and survival status after 1 or 5 years. Variables were evaluated between survived and dead patients and compared for means and frequencies using the independent samples t-test or Mann-Whitney, or chi-square test. The univariate relationship of each risk factor, with 1- and 5-year survival, was examined by the log-rank test and the Kaplan-Meyer method and their multivariate relationship with Cox regression. Results: 1- and 5-year survived patients were younger than dead patients with GC (P<0.001; HR for 1-year survival: 1.014, 95% CI: 0.997 to 1.030; HR for 5-year survival: 1.005, 95% CI: 0.994 to 1.017), and had more frequent higher educational levels (P<0.05; HR for 1-year survival: 1.887, 95% CI: 1.046 to 3.406; HR for 5-year survival: 1.482, 95% CI: 0.987 to 2.223). The death rate after 5 years was higher in men than in women (P=0.009; HR: 1.009, 95% CI: 0.593 to 1.717) and depended on the job status of the patients (P=0.021). The other studied variables were not significantly different between 1- or 5-year survived and dead patients. Conclusion: GC development depends on genomic changes, environmental factors, and lifestyle status. But all risk factors that play a role in its development are not notable for a patient's survival. We suggest that risk factors for these patients' survival become elucidated in future studies. It helps to gather the necessary pieces of evidence for the enhancement of survival in patients with GC.

Abstract
Covid-19 is a pandemic disease that is more severe and mortal in people with immunodeficiency, such as those with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). On the other hand, no definitive treatment has been identified for it and the best way to control it is wide spread vaccination. The aim of this study was to evaluate the benefits and side effects of different vaccines in patients with IBD. Three Electronic databases [Medline (accessed from PubMed), Scopus, Science Direct, and Cochrane] were searched systematically without time limit, using MESH terms and the related keywords in English language. We focused on the research studies on the effect and side effects of Covid-19 vaccination in patients with IBD. Articles were excluded if they were not relevant, or were performed on other patients excerpt patients with IBD. Considering the titles and abstracts, unrelated studies were excluded. The full texts of the remained studies were evaluated by authors, independently. Then, the studies' findings were assessed and reported. Finally, after reading the full text of the remained articles, 15 ones included in data extraction. All included studied were research study, and most of them (12/15) had prospective design. Totally, 8/15 studies were performed in single-center settings. In 8/15 studies, patients with IBD were compared with a control group. The results were summarized the in two categories: (1) the effect of vaccination, and (2) side effects. The effect of vaccination were assessed in 13/15 studies. Side effects of Covid-19 vaccination in patients with IBD were reported in 7/15 studies. Patients with IBD can be advised that vaccination may have limited minor side effects, but it can protect them from the serious complications of Covid-19 and its resulting mortality with a high success rate. They should be also mentioned in booster doses. Studies showed that the risk of developing Covid-19 is more worrying in people with immunocompromised conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). On the other hand, no definitive treatment has been identified for it and the best way to control it is wide spread vaccination. The results of this systematic scoping review revealed that patients with IBD can be advised that vaccination may have limited minor side effects, but it can protect these patients from the serious complications of Covid-19. Also, they should be also mentioned in booster doses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Functional constipation is defined as a delay or difficulty in defecation that lasts two weeks or more which history and physical examination have ruled out its organic causes. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of non-pharmacological treatments (dietary changes and increased physical activity) for adult patients with chronic constipation. METHODS This prospective randomized clinical trial was performed in 2020-2021 on 64 patients with functional constipation with the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (IRCT) code IRCT20200601047621N2 (https://en.irct.ir/trial/48798). The demographic data and constipation severity were collected by checklist. The diet was designed by a nutritionist containing 25 to 30 grams of fiber and eight glasses of water or liquids other than tea daily for 12 weeks. The amount of sufficient physical activity was defined as doing half an hour of brisk walking daily to increase the heart rate by 50%. All cases were visited during the study and the constipation severity questionnaire was completed at baseline and after 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks after the beginning of the study. RESULTS Patients had significantly improved defecation frequencies after 12 weeks (P = 0.03 compared to baseline). We also observed that patients had improvements in having a hard stool (P = 0.001 compared to baseline), painful defecation (P = 0.03 compared to baseline), use of a finger to defecate (P = 0.04 compared to baseline), and straining while defecation (P < 0.001 compared to baseline). Patients with age groups 30-40 and 40-50 significantly improved defecation frequencies, painful defecation, and straining while defecating compared to other age groups. CONCLUSION Non-pharmacological treatments could significantly improve functional constipation in patients. Significant improvements were observed in patients between 30-50 years of age.

Abstract
Background In this study, we summarized the data on gastrointestinal (GI) involvement and the potential association with clinical outcomes among the patients admitted to Khorshid Hospital. Materials and Methods We investigated 1113 inpatients (≥18 years old) diagnosed with coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) from March to June 2020 in Khorshid Hospital. We collected demographic details, clinical information, vital signs, laboratory data, treatment type, and clinical outcomes from patients' medical records. The data of patients with GI symptoms were compared with those without GI symptoms. Results A total of 1113 patients were recruited (male = 648). GI symptoms were observed in 612 (56.8%) patients (male = 329), the most common of which were nausea 387 (34.7%), followed by diarrhea 286 (25.7%), vomiting 260 (23.4%), and abdominal pain 168 (15.0%). The most prominent non-GI symptoms were cough 796 (71.5%), fever 792 (71.2%), shortness of breath 653 (58.7%), and body pain 591 (53.1%). The number of patients who were discharged, died, and were admitted to intensive care unit was significantly different in groups on the basis of GI and non-GI symptoms (P = 0.002, 0.009, 0.003). Conclusion While COVID-19 was predominantly diagnosed in males, GI symptoms were more commonly reported by females. The results indicated that GI symptoms in COVID-19 patients are common, and the symptoms are not correlated with the severity of the disease. Moreover, the presence of GI symptoms was positively related to milder disease. Among COVID-19 positive patients, the clinical outcomes of the GI group were promising, compared to those of non-GI group.

Abstract
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common digestive disorder with troublesome symptoms that has been affected millions of people worldwide. Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring is a recently developed technique, which is currently considered as the gold standard for the diagnosis of GERD. In this paper, we address the problem of characterizing gastroesophageal reflux events in MII signals. A GER detection algorithm has been developed based on the sparse representation of local segments. Two dictionaries are trained using the online dictionary learning approach from the distal impedance data of selected patches of GER and no specific patterns intervals. A classifier is then designed based on the lp-norm of dictionary approximations. Next, a preliminary permutation mask is obtained from the classification results of patches, which is then used in post-processing procedure to investigate the exact timings of GERs at all impedance sites. Our algorithm was tested on 33 MII episodes, resulting a sensitivity of 96.97% and a positive predictive value of 94.12%.

Abstract
Background Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy(LSG) is the most popular bariatric surgery worldwide. Postoperative de-novo acid reflux is one of the major common complications of the procedure. Different additive anti-reflux surgical techniques have been tried to decrease the complication although no favorable outcome is obtained. This study was conducted to evaluate effects of concurrent cruroplasty during LSG on postoperative de-novo acid reflux incidence rate. Methods In current participant-blinded randomised controlled trial total of 80 subjects who were candidate for LSG were enrolled from the September 2018 to the December 2019. Following matching patients by gender and age, simple randomization method was held to allocate participants to LSG alone and LSG + cruroplasty groups with equal 40 members in each. Demographic data, length of hospital stay, and operation time was registered. Presence of acid reflux was looked by using gastroesophageal reflux disease-health related quality of life(GERD-HRQL) questionnaire prior and 6 months after surgery in follow-up visit. Results Finally 12/28 and 14/26 male/females with 38.5 ± 10.7 and 39.7 ± 8.2 years of age were recruited in LSG alone and LSG + cruroplasty, respectively.(p > 0.05) The length of operative time was significantly shorter in LSG alone(p < 0.01) although no obvious difference was existed in length of hospital stay between groups.(p = 0.7) Postoperative de-novo acid reflux also was not considerably lesser after cruroplasty compared with controls.(p = 0.1) The GERD-HRQL scores were not remarkable between subjects of study groups.(p > 0.05). Conclusion Equipping LSG with concurrent cruroplasty to diminish postoperative de-novo gastroesophageal acid reflux is not effective and not recommended in absence of other indications.

Abstract
Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring is designed to detect intraluminal bolus movement without the use of radiation and allows for detection of Gastroesophageal reflux (GER). Automatic analysis of MII-pH data are available however since the recordings are complex and filled with artifacts; a thorough and time-consuming review of the recordings, episode by episode, is still required. The proposed method was designed to segment GER events in a set of 100 episodes of two minutes interval of MII data based on a decision tree approach. An amount of 24 hours of MII-pH data belonging to eight patients were recorded, digitized and stored along with standardized timings of GER events that had been characterized by two gastroenterologist experts. The performance of the algorithm was evaluated using 100 individual GER events. The algorithm has been shown to perform correctly in over 95% of cases.

Abstract
Background: This study evaluated the clinical efficacy and tolerability of a 14-day course of bismuth-based quadruple therapy including tinidazole and levofloxacin in compare to a 14-day bismuth-based quadruple therapy including clarithromycin as first-line treatment for Helicobacter pylori infection in Iranian adults. Materials and Methods: The study was a prospective, parallel group, randomized controlled, clinical trial that conducted on 150 patients with H. pylori infection. Patients were randomly assigned to the two groups as follows: first group received pantoprazole 40 mg, bismuth subcitrate 240 mg, amoxicillin 1 g, and clarithromycin 500 mg (PBAC group), and other group received pantoprazole 40 mg, bismuth subcitrate 240 mg, amoxicillin 1 g, tinidazole 500 mg for 7 days, followed by levofloxacin 500 mg for the second 7 days (PBATL group). Main outcomes were eradication rate, tolerance of treatment, and dyspepsia severity. Results: The eradication rates for PBAC regimen was 81.1% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 71.9–90.2) and for PBATL regimen was 70.8% (95% CI: 60.1–81.6), which was not significantly different (P = 0.147). Tolerance of treatment was similar between groups. The median of severity of dyspeptic after treatment in PBAC group was 10 [9–14.75], which was similar to PBATL group 10 [9–13.5] (P = 0.690). Conclusion: There is no significant difference between PBAC and PBATL regimen, and efficacy was similar in both groups. The overall rate of treatment failure suggests that up to 18%–30% of patients will fail bismuth-based quadruple therapy and require retreatment for the infection.

Abstract
Vascular access (VA) complications are the leading cause of morbidity in the hemodialysis (HD) population and responsible for high health care costs. This study was designed to compare the profile of VA use for HD in Isfahan dialysis units in 2003 and 2013. A cross-sectional observational study was conducted between January and March 2013 on 536 HD patients in seven units. The patients data about VA type, number, survival, and demographic characteristics were collected and compared with the data collected in year 2003 on 320 patients in the same city units. The mean age of patients increased from 51 ± 17 to 58 ± 15 years (P < 0.001). The most common etiology of end-stage renal disease was diabetes mellitus, but the percentage increased in 2013 (P = 0.001).The use of an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) as a first dialysis access fell from 60.6% in 2003 to 35.4% in 2013 (P < 0.001). At the time of study, AVFs were used in 92.2% of patients in 2003 versus 56.5% in 2013 (P < 0.001). The 1, 2, 3 and 5 years AVF survival was 80%, 78%, 73%, and 69%, respectively in 2003 versus 79.4%, 61.2%, 47.3%, and 31.5% in 2013. The AVFs proportions decreased and the tunneled catheters proportions increased while the proportion of temporary catheters decreased in 2013 compared with 2003.
