BACKGROUND Several factors have been reported as possible predictors of intestinal necrosis in patients with portal venous gas (PVG). We describe potential indicators of intestinal necrosis in PVG identified by contrasting 3 episodes of PVG in a patient on hemodialysis against previously verified factors. CASE REPORT An 82-year-old woman undergoing hemodialysis was admitted to our hospital thrice for acute abdominal pain. On first admission, she was alert, with a body temperature of 36.3°C, blood pressure (BP) of 125/53 mmHg, pulse rate of 60/min, respiratory rate of 18/min, and 100% oxygen saturation on room air...

Pediatric COVID-19 vaccination is effective in preventing COVID-19-related hospitalization, but duration of protection of the original monovalent vaccine during SARS-CoV-2 Omicron predominance merits evaluation, particularly given low coverage with updated COVID-19 vaccines. During December 19, 2021-October 29, 2023, the Overcoming COVID-19 Network evaluated vaccine effectiveness (VE) of ≥2 original monovalent COVID-19 mRNA vaccine doses against COVID-19-related hospitalization and critical illness among U...

PURPOSE: The diagnosis of conjunctival squamous intraepithelial neoplasia (CSIN) can be difficult because of the heterogeneous appearance. Despite established risk factors and diagnostic support by high-resolution optical coherence tomography (hrOCT) and indocyanine green angiography (ICGA), the only reliable diagnostic method is a histological work-up. This case report is the first to describe corneal microaneurysms in CSIN as a vascular feature for conjunctival tumor angiogenesis. METHODS: An 84-year-old male patient was referred with a suspected diagnosis of pterygium...

Synovial or ganglion cysts are the most common soft tissue tumors of the wrist and hand and can arise from joints or tendons. Intratendinous synovial cysts, in contrast, are rare and their pathogenesis is still a matter of debate. The treatment of synovial cysts of articular origin using arthroscopy is commonly used with good results. For cysts of tendon origin, that is, extra-articular, when located at the ankle, shoulder, knee, and wrist, endoscopic treatment has also been described in a procedure called tenoscopy...

Individual sirolimus whole blood concentrations are highly variable, critically influenced by the concomitant use of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A inducers or inhibitors, and also modulated by food. Therapeutic drug monitoring is therefore recommended, especially at treatment start or in circumstances that can influence sirolimus exposure. In this case report, we highlight the challenge of achieving therapeutic sirolimus concentrations and present pragmatic solutions with regimen adaptions, pharmacokinetic enhancement (use of a drug-drug interaction), concentration monitoring, and subsequent modeling of population pharmacokinetics to support treatment decisions...

Endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) is nowadays the establishment treatment for patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) both in elective and urgent setting. Despite the large applicability and satisfactory results, the presence of hostile iliac anatomy affects both technical and clinical success. This narrative review aimed to report the impact of iliac access and related adjunctive procedures in patients undergoing EVAR in elective and non-elective setting. Hostile iliac access can be defined in presence of narrowed, tortuous, calcified, or occluded iliac arteries...

BACKGROUND: Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) and venous thromboembolism (VTE) both result from partial or complete occlusion of a blood vessel by a blood clot. The prognosis of PVT is generally good; however, PVT with VTE, including pulmonary embolism (PE), has a high mortality rate. We report here a case of PE after surgery for small intestinal necrosis caused by idiopathic PVT. CASE PRESENTATION: A 69-year-old female attended our hospital with a chief complaint of upper abdominal discomfort, and was diagnosed with necrosis of the small intestine as a result of unexplained PVT...

BACKGROUND: Preoperative diagnosis of gallbladder amyloidosis is usually difficult. In our case, the patient exhibited gallbladder dyskinesia, which led us to suspect cholecystic amyloidosis. We were able to safely perform surgery before cholecystitis onset. CASE PRESENTATION: A 59-year-old male patient with a history of multiple myeloma and cardiac amyloidosis presented to our hospital with a chief complaint of epicardial pain. Abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography revealed an enlarged gallbladder and biliary sludge without any specific imaging findings of cholecystitis...

A 35-year-old woman of Asian descent with epigastralgia was referred to our hospital. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed gastric cancer in the upper body and carpeting fundic gland polyposis in the fornix and body. Computed tomography revealed no metastases. Total colonoscopy and capsule endoscopy revealed no polyposis, except in the stomach. The patient was diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer and underwent open total gastrectomy. We speculated that her gastric cancer was a hereditary tumor due to its early onset and accompanying fundic gland polyposis...

BACKGROUND: Craniopharyngioma is a common intracranial tumour in children. Clinical manifestations are related to hypothalamic/pituitary deficiencies, visual impairment, and increased intracranial pressure. Defects in pituitary function cause shortages of growth hormone, gonadotropin, corticotropin, thyrotropin, and vasopressin, resulting in short stature, delayed puberty, feebleness, lethargy, polyuria, etc. However, manifestations involving precocious puberty (PP) are rare. CASE REPORT: In both patients, surgical resection was performed after the diagnosis of craniopharyngioma, and breast development occurred postoperatively at one month in one patient and at one year and three months in the other patient...
