Adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) of the stomach is a very rare tumor comprising less than 0.5% of all stomach malignancies. Here, we report a case of a 37-year-old male, who presented with upper gastrointestinal bleeding in the form of hematemesis and malena. A subtotal gastrectomy was done in view of massive uncontrolled bleed. Histology showed evidence of ASC of the body and antrum with metastas...

MESSAGE Lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) have been recently developed to improve treatment outcomes in the endoscopic management of pancreatic fluid collections (PFC), particularly in walled-off necrosis (WON), to facilitate better drainage of necrotic contents and minimise the risk of perforation and peritoneal leakage. In an ongoing randomised trial, we observed serious adverse events that ...

BACKGROUND Splenic artery aneurysm and pseudoaneurysm are rare pathologies. True aneurysms are usually asymptomatic. Aneurysm rupture occurring in 2-3% of cases results in bleeding into the lesser sack, peritoneal space or adjacent organs typically presenting as abdominal pain and hemodynamic instability. In contrast, pseudoaneurysms are nearly always symptomatic carrying a high risk of rupture...

Laparoscopic peritoneal dialysis catheter insertion is an established method for placement. One critical aspect of this procedure rectus sheath tunneling. Proper incorporation within the abdominal wall important reducing pericatheter leaks and proper functioning. Particularly, accurate positioning internal cuff muscle crucial to prevent potential dialysate fluid leakage. In present report, we d...

Catheter-related infections result in high patient morbidity, the need for temporary haemodialysis, and high costs. These infections are the main cause of limited technique survival in peritoneal dialysis. We introduced a protocol for the simultaneous peritoneoscopic insertion and removal of peritoneal catheters in patients with catheter-related infections. Peritoneal dialysis was continued the...

Helicobacter pylori, which is a bacterium that can live in the stomach. Infection occur when bacteria invade and damage stomach wall. Lack of information ignorance public about seriousness these causes various very serious diseases such as inflammation digestive tract (gastritis), gastric bleeding, perforation (leak stomach), infection peritoneal wall (peritonitis) cancer. This expert system ai...

We are presenting a case of primary ectopic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that later developed HCC in the mother liver during long-term follow-up. A 64-year-old woman presented with a sudden onset of abdominal pain and internal bleeding. Ectopic HCC was diagnosed by the surgical resection of 2 tumors during laparotomy, which were found near the triangular ligament and lesser curvature of the s...

Objective This meta-analysis aims to compare the efficacy and safety of peritoneal dialysis (PD) hemodialysis (HD) in treatment diabetic kidney failure. Methods Five databases were selected retrieve research on PD HD for failure until 6 August 2022. A fixed-effects or random-effects model was utilized calculate standardized mean difference (SMD) odds ratio (OR) based heterogeneity among studies...

AIM To evaluate the incidence of bacterial infections (BI) in hepatic cirrhosis (HC), the pathogen agents involved, to define the risk factors and impact on prognosis. METHODS There was a retrospective study that enrolled a total of 1046 patients with HC admitted in our clinic between 1.10.2008-31.03.2009 (6 months). Clinical, biological and bacteriological data were monitored. RESULTS 51 p...

Background: Perforation of intra-abdominal organs such as the bowel and urinary bladder is one of the most serious complications related to peritoneal dialysis catheter (PDC) insertion procedures. Such a risk increases in patients with a history of prior abdominal surgery or irradiation. The “alpha-replacer” is a unique wire that is usually soft, but becomes harder if coiled in the hand. Applic...
