    Abstract Capsule endoscopy (CE) is considered the first-line for the investigation of OGIB after conventional non-diagnostic endoscopic examinations. A detection rate of lesions outside the small bowel segment has been reported to range from 3.5% to >30%. Our primary objective was to analyze the role of CE in identifying lesions outside the small bowel segment that were not identified on conventional endoscopy in patients suspected of OGIB. In our study, CE appears to be effective and safe in diagnosing OGIB, also proving to be a tool in identifying lesions outside the small intestine segment.

    Abstract Objective: To investigate hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) incidence, risk factors and the performance of baseline REACH-B risk score in a Portuguese chronic hepatitis B (CHB) population on antiviral therapy.
    Methods: Retrospective study of CHB patients who were treated with tenofovir or entecavir for at least 12 months. Multivariate analysis was performed to identify factors associated with HCC. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the cumulative incidence of HCC at 1, 3 and 5 years on therapy. The performance of the REACH-B score at baseline was assessed.
    Results: One hundred and twenty patients initiated nucleos(t)ide analogs (NUC) therapy (age, 47 ± 14 years-old; 83 male; 11% had cirrhosis; 71% tenofovir; 73% HBeAg-negative; 61% treatment-naïve). After a median time under NUC of 39 months, 9 patients (7.5%) developed HCC. The calculated cumulative incidence rates of HCC at 1, 3 and 5 years on therapy were 5.1%, 7.3% and 8.8%, respectively. Independent predictors for HCC occurrence: age and cirrhosis at baseline. Diagnostic accuracy of baseline REACH-B score in predicting HCC development: AUC 0.738, 95%CI: 0.521-0.955. The cutoff value of 8 points had a sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of 75%, 52%, 6% and 98%, respectively in predicting HCC occurrence during therapy.
    Conclusions: Older age and cirrhosis at baseline were independent predictors for HCC development. Discriminatory performance of baseline REACH-B score was limited.

    Abstract Extended-spectrum cephalosporin (ESC)-resistant Salmonella have been described at a low level in the EU, nevertheless the increasing importation of poultry meat could be an important source of epidemic strains carrying ESC resistance genes. This study evaluated ESC resistance and its genetic platform among Salmonella isolates from poultry meat products imported into Portugal as well as clonal relatedness of the isolates. All Salmonella isolates recovered from samples of fresh meat destined for import into the EU in the scope of Portuguese official border control (2014-2015) were studied. Antibiotic susceptibility and β-lactamase production was determined by disk diffusion/microdilution. Molecular studies included detection of genes encoding acquired AmpC and extended-spectrum β-lactamases, plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance and other antibiotic resistance genes by PCR/sequencing, and clonality by MLST and XbaI-PFGE. Plasmid characterisation was assessed by conjugation assays, replicon typing (PCR-PBRT/pMLST) and hybridisation experiments (I-CeuI/S1-PFGE nuclease). Isolates belonged to Salmonella Heidelberg (n = 6; ST15/eBG26) and Salmonella Minnesota (n = 1; ST548/eBG77) and presented multidrug-resistant profiles, including to ESCs and/or fluoroquinolones. All but one carried bla

    Abstract Background: The use of complementary and alternative medicines is increasing among chronic patients, particularly those afflicted with inflammatory bowel diseases.
    Aim: This study aimed to address the prevalence of complementary and alternative medicines use among Portuguese inflammatory bowel diseases' patients.
    Methods: Patients were invited to fill an anonymous questionnaire concerning the use of complementary and alternative medicines.
    Results: Thirty-one per cent of the patients reported having used complementary and alternative medicines in the past, whereas 12% were using them by the time the questionnaire was administered. Fifty-nine per cent of the users did not share this information with their physician, whereas 14% and 8% discontinued their medication and periodical examination, respectively. Steroids prescription (OR=2.880) and a higher instruction level (OR=3.669) were predictors of complementary and alternative medicines use in this cohort.
    Conclusions: Roughly a third of Portuguese IBD patients had used CAM. Steroid treatment and an academic degree are associated with CAM use. Given the potential side effects and interactions, patient information about the benefits and limitations of conventional and complementary treatments should be reinforced.
