Amiodarone and Dronedarone Causes Liver Injury with Distinctly Different Clinical Presentations
ConclusionAmiodarone hepatotoxicity resembles that seen in alcohol related liver injury, with fatty infiltration and inflammation. Dronedarone is less predictable, typically without fat and with a shorter latency of use before presentation. These differences may be explained, in part, by the differing pharmacokinetics of the two drugs leading to different mechanisms of hepatotoxicity. (Source: Digestive Diseases and Sciences)

Nomogram for Predicting the Risk of Complications after Endoscopic Foreign Body Removal from the Adult Upper Gastrointestinal Tract
ConclusionsOlder patients who ingested bones or jujube pits with more pressure points exerted on the digestive tract wall more than 24 h earlier should be considered most at risk of major complications after endoscopic removal of foreign bodies. The nomogram established in this study can be conveniently used to assess patients and develop treatment plans for the management of foreign body ingestion. (Source: Digestive Diseases and Sciences)

Pediatric ERCP: Evolving into an Outpatient Procedure
ConclusionWe analyzed outpatient and inpatient pediatric ERCP patient demographics and ERCP characteristics to identify factors that guide decision to determine whether pediatric ERCPs are performed on an outpatient vs. inpatient basis. There was no significant difference in adverse events associated with outpatient vs. inpatient pediatric ERCPs, attesting to the safety of outpatient ERCP for this subset of patients in the studied context. This is an area worthy of future prospective and multi-center study. (Source: Digestive Diseases and Sciences)

Bariatric Nutritional Intervention in Obese Patients with Compensated Liver Cirrhosis: A Four-Year Prospective Study
ConclusionsThis study highlights the potential of a structured bariatric intervention rooted in the Mediterranean diet to positively influence the health of obese patients with compensated liver cirrhosis. The observed improvements in anthropometric, biochemical, and hematologic parameters, particularly within the first year of the intervention, suggest the importance of dietary modifications in managing the health of this patient population.

Circular RNA CircSLC22A23 Promotes Gastric Cancer Progression by Activating HNRNPU Expression
ConclusionCircSLC22A23 regulated the transcription of EGFR through activation of HNRNPU in GC cells, suggesting that circSLC22A23 may serve as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of GC.Graphical AbstractThe mechanism underlying the effects of circSLC22A23 on gastric cancer. CircSLC22A23 regulates EGFR transcription by activating HNRNPU expression, thereby promoting the progression of GC. (Source: Digestive Diseases and Sciences)
