    Abstract Chronic inflammation is linked to carcinogenesis, particularly in the digestive organs, i.e., the stomach, colon, and liver. The mechanism of this effect has, however, only partly been focused on. In this review, we focus on different forms of chronic hepatitis, chronic inflammatory bowel disease, and chronic gastritis, conditions predisposing individuals to the development of malignancy. Chronic inflammation may cause malignancy because (1) the cause of the chronic inflammation is itself genotoxic, (2) substances released from the inflammatory cells may be genotoxic, (3) the cell death induced by the inflammation induces a compensatory increase in proliferation with an inherent risk of mutation, (4) changes in cell composition due to inflammation may modify function, resulting in hormonal disturbances affecting cellular proliferation. The present review focuses on chronic gastritis (

    Abstract Background: The prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) has had a marked increase in Western countries with a paralleling interest in extraesophageal (EE) manifestations of GERD, including laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR). There are considerable differences in clinical practice between gastroenterologists, otolaryngologists and pulmonologists.
    Methods: In this narrative review we address some of these controversies concerning EE manifestations of GERD and LPR.
    Results: It is disputed whether there is causal relationship between reflux and the numerous symptoms and conditions suggested to be EE manifestations of GERD. Similarly, the pathophysiology is uncertain and there are disagreements concerning diagnostic criteria. Consequently, it is challenging to provide evidence-based treatment recommendations. A significant number of patients are given a trial course with a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) for several months before symptoms are evaluated. In randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and meta-analyses of RCTs PPI treatment does not seem to be advantageous over placebo, and the evidence supporting that patients without verified GERD have any benefit of PPI treatment is negligible. There is a large increase in both over the counter and prescribed PPI use in several countries and a significant proportion of this use is without any symptomatic benefit for the patients. Whereas short-term treatment has few side effects, there is concern about side-effects after long-term use. Although empiric PPI treatment for suspected EE manifestations of GERD instead of prior esophageal 24-hour pH and impedance monitoring is included in several guidelines by various societies, this practice contributes to overtreatment with PPI.
    Conclusion: We argue that the current knowledge suggests that diagnostic testing with pH and impedance monitoring rather than empiric PPI treatment should be chosen in a higher proportion of patients presenting with symptoms possibly attributable to EE reflux.

    Abstract Background and aims: Proton pump inhibitors (PPI) affect the gastrointestinal microbiota, which is thought to play a role in the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis (UC). Previous studies suggest an association between PPI use and risk of incident UC as well as disease course. The aim of the study was to examine if PPI exposure is associated with disease course in UC patients.
    Methods: A national cohort consisting of all newly diagnosed UC patients from 2010 to 2020 was defined combining data from Norwegian registries. PPI exposure was included as a time dependent variable with a 30 day time lag from starting the drug. Outcomes were starting advanced therapies including anti-TNF, systemic glucocorticoids, any additional systemic anti-inflammatory medication and undergoing colectomy during follow-up. Time-dependent Cox regressions included the variables PPI use, first systemic glucocorticoid prescription, first UC hospitalization, age-groups and sex.
    Results: The study cohort consisted of 10,149 patients with median age 40 years (IQR 27-56) and 56% males. PPI use independently increased the risk of starting advanced therapies (HR 1.54, 95% CI 1.36-1.73,
    Conclusions: PPI use was associated with unfavorable outcomes including advanced therapy initiation, additional anti-inflammatory medications and undergoing colectomy. Although further studies are needed, the evidence suggests that PPIs could affect the course of UC and should be used cautiously in UC patients.

    Abstract Early gastric cancers (EGCs) are confined to the gastric mucosa and submucosa irrespective of lymph node metastases and constitute only a minor proportion of gastric cancer in Western countries. We aimed to characterize EGCs and assess the survival of EGC in Central Norway during 2001-2016. A retrospective population-based study on 1205 patients with gastric cancer was performed. At the time, surgical resection was the standard treatment, and 88 (7.3%) EGCs were identified. Histopathological specimens were re-examined, and the eCura score and survival were evaluated. The number of gastric cancers declined (

    Abstract Gastric cancer is a heterogenous group of tumours, and a better understanding of the carcinogenesis and cellular origin of the various sub-types could affect prevention and future treatment. Gastric neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) and adenocarcinomas that develop in the gastric corpus and fundus of patients with chronic atrophic gastritis have atrophic gastritis, hypoacidity, and hypergastrinemia as common risk factors and a shared cellular origin has been suggested. In particular, signet ring cell carcinomas have previously been suggested to be of neuroendocrine origin. We present a case of a combined gastric NET and signet ring cell carcinoma in a patient with hypergastrinemia due to autoimmune chronic atrophic gastritis. The occurrence of such a combined tumour strengthens the evidence that gastric NETs and signet ring cell carcinomas develop from a common origin.
