Does gastric electrical stimulation with Enterra therapy improve symptoms of idiopathic gastroparesis?
(i) In this prospective study of Enterra GES for ID-GP, there was a reduction in vomiting during the initial ON period; (ii) The double-blind 3-month periods showed a non-significant reduction in vomiting in the ON vs OFF period, the primary outcome variable; (iii) At 12 months with ON stimulation, there was a sustained decrease in vomiting and days of hospitalizations.
These results suggest that HLA-DR6 confers protection against the development of onychomycosis in a Mexican Mestizo population. Having an affected first-degree relative significantly increases the risk of onychomycosis, suggesting genetic susceptibility.
