“…Regarding smoking, it has been proven to have deleterious effects on the regulation of gastric microcirculation, consequently leading to some recognized causes of GI bleeding such peptic ulcer disease [31, 32]. While some studies report higher rates of tobacco use among patients with angioectasias, others could not support such an association [33, 34]. In our study, smoking was twice as common in the angioectasia group, although it did not reach statistical significance.…”

“…In our study, very few patients had aortic stenosis and there were no significant differences between groups. Chronic liver disease, especially with associated portal hypertension, has also been linked to the presence of GI angioectasias and, as reported by some authors, they could be reversed after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt [34, 38, 39]. We found no significant differences between the two groups concerning the presence of chronic liver disease, which can be partly explained by the small number of patients included.…”

“…Technical advances allowing acquisition of dynamic rapid MRI sequences have been applied to pelvic floor imaging which can provide objective information about disorders of the different compartments of the pelvis without ionizing radiation exposure [27][28][29][30][31]. However, because most of these exams are made supine which has less gravitational influence than sitting, underestimation of pelvic floor descent, intussusceptions, and even lack of detection of enteroceles or sigmoidoceles can occur [32,33].…”

“…Sonography has developed to include a three-dimensional dynamic anorectal ultrasonography technique (dynamic 3-DAUS) using a 360°t ransducer, automatic scanning, and high frequencies for high-resolution images to evaluate evacuation disorders affecting the posterior compartment (rectocele, intussusception, and anismus) and the middle compartment (grade III sigmoidocele/enterocele) with the advantage of being minimally invasive and radiation free. However, the learning curve is significant and the field of view limited to the posterior compartment preventing the study of the remaining compartments [24][25][26][27][28][29][30].…”

“…Because of these problems, dynamic imaging techniques have been introduced as a diagnostic step to evaluate such dysfunctions. to be able to evaluate posterior pelvic floor dysfunction in different planes, murad-Regadas et al 6,[12][13][14] developed echodefecography, a dynamic 3-D anorectal ultrasonography technique using a 360° rotational transducer with automatic scanning and high frequencies for high-resolution images. 3 Various techniques have been described with the use of different approaches, and the results are similar in comparison with defecography.…”
