Diagnosis and Management of Hepatic Hydrothorax
Korean J Gastroenterol. 2024 Feb 25;83(2):45-53. doi: 10.4166/kjg.2023.107.ABSTRACTHepatic hydrothorax is a pleural effusion (typically ≥500 mL) that develops in patients with cirrhosis and/or portal hypertension in the absence of other causes. In most cases, hepatic hydrothorax is seen in patients with ascites. However, ascites is not always found at diagnosis and is not clinically detected in 20% of patients with hepatic hydrothorax. Some patients have no symptoms and incidental findings on radiologic examination lead to the diagnosis of the condition. In the majority of cases, the patients present with symptoms such a...

Autonomic Nervous System Dysfunction in Achalasia
CONCLUSIONS: ANS dysfunction symptoms are common in patients with achalasia. Female achalasia patients and those with ANS dysfunction symptoms showed increased cardiac activity. Hence, more attention should be paid to cardiac overload in achalasia patients who are female or have ANS dysfunction symptoms.PMID:38389461 | DOI:10.4166/kjg.2023.144 (Source: Korean J Gastroenter...)

Successful Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection Using Open Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy for Duodenal Neuroendocrine Tumor
Korean J Gastroenterol. 2024 Feb 25;83(2):61-64. doi: 10.4166/kjg.2023.145.ABSTRACTDuodenal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are subepithelial tumors that are difficult to remove endoscopically, particularly when located just beyond the pylorus. This paper reports a case of a successful endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) using open gastric peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) for a remnant duodenal NET detected after endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR). A 67-year-old male presented with a 5 mm remnant duodenal NET close to the pylorus after EMR for a duodenal polypoid lesion performed four months earlier. Duodenal ESD was perf...

A Giant Gastric Perforation Occurring in the Normal Mucosa during Endoscopy in a Patient with Advanced Gastric Cancer
Korean J Gastroenterol. 2024 Feb 25;83(2):65-68. doi: 10.4166/kjg.2023.147.ABSTRACTThe incidence of giant gastric perforation occurring during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is exceedingly rare. Gastric perforation can arise from excessive air insufflation and is more prevalent in elderly patients with atrophic gastritis. Although giant gastric mucosal lacerations during diagnostic endoscopy have occasionally been reported, there are few reports of giant gastric perforation. The authors experienced a giant gastric perforation occurring in the normal mucosa during endoscopy in an 81-year-old woman with advanced gastric ca...

Microbiome and Biliary Tract Cancer
Korean J Gastroenterol. 2024 Jan 25;83(1):1-5. doi: 10.4166/kjg.2023.135.ABSTRACTBiliary tract cancers encompass a group of malignancies that affect the bile ducts and gallbladder and are associated with a poor prognosis, often due to late diagnosis and limited treatment options. The incidence of biliary tract cancer has been increasing gradually, underscoring the need for a better understanding of its pathogenesis and potential risk factors. Research suggests that biliary tract cancer may develop through a combination of genetic and epigenetic alterations, as well as environmental factors. The role of microbial exposure a...
