Safety and efficacy of thalidomide in treatment of gastrointestinal bleeding secondary to angioectasias: a systematic review and meta-analysis

The effect of serum triglyceride levels and different lipid-lowering methods on the prognosis of hypertriglyceridemic  acute pancreatitis: a single-center 12-year retrospective study by propensity score matching
CONCLUSION: The severity of HTG-AP is not associated with the triglyceride levels at admission. However, rapid reduction of triglyceride levels can lower the incidence of local complications and respiratory failure. Compared with conservative treatment, insulin and LMWH + bezafibrate can both reduce the incidence of IPN in patients with HTG-AP.PMID:38625376 | DOI:10.1080/00365521.2024.2342406 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology)

The advent of the first electric driven EUS-guided 17 gauge core needle biopsy - A pilot study on subepithelial lesions
CONCLUSIONS: By using an electric driven 17-G biopsy device, a true cylinder of core tissue can be obtained in one single puncture from the area of interest reducing the need for a second sampling. The absolute benefit of EUS-guided CNB is that the sample can be handled and histologically prepared in the same manner as standard percutaneous core needle sample, e.g., breast and prostate cancer.PMID:38618997 | DOI:10.1080/00365521.2024.2336611 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology)

Does surgery improve quality of life in patients with ongoing- or recurrent diverticulitis; a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: Although surgery for recurrent diverticulitis is not without risk, it might improve long-term quality of life in patients suffering from recurrent- or ongoing diverticulitis when compared to conservative treatment. Therefore, it should be considered in this patient group.PMID:38613245 | DOI:10.1080/00365521.2024.2337833 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology)

Small bowel intramural hematoma caused by warfarin: case report and literature review
CONCLUSION: Our analysis highlights that hematoma in the small intestinal wall caused by warfarin overdose often presents as sudden and intense abdominal pain, laboratory tests suggest reduced coagulation capacity, and imaging often shows thickening of the intestinal wall. Intravenous vitamin K and plasma supplementation are effective non-surgical strategies. Nevertheless, in instances of severe obstruction and unresponsive hemostasis, surgical resection of necrotic intestinal segments may be necessary. In the cases we reported, we avoided surgery by closely monitoring the coagulation function. Therefore, we suggest that i...
