Safety and feasibility of liver resection with continued antiplatelet therapy using aspirin
ConclusionsLiver resection can be safely performed while continuing aspirin therapy without increasing hemorrhagic morbidity. Our results suggest that interruption of aspirin therapy is unnecessary for patients undergoing liver resection.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Endoscopy in Patients on Antiplatelet Agents and Anticoagulants
Opinion statementManagement of patients on anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy undergoing endoscopy presents a balance of risks between haemorrhage due to the procedure, and thrombosis due to discontinuation of antithrombotic therapy. Haemorrhage is usually controllable endoscopically, but thrombosis could, on occasion, result in myocardial infarction or stroke, with permanent disability or death. For elective procedures, there is adequate time to plan best management of antithrombotic therapy. International guidelines have been published, but recommendations are based on limited evidence and consultation with appropriat...

Risk of Gastrointestinal Bleeding in Patients Taking Non –Vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Non –vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (novel oral anticoagulants [NOACs]) are convenient and effective in the prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism and the prevention of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation. However, these drugs have been associated with an increased risk o f gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the risk of GI bleeding in patients receiving these drugs.

Migrated Replacement Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy Tube Leading To Jejunoduodenal Intussusception
A 73-year-old woman with a medical history of severe cognitive impairment, stroke, and progressive dysphagia requiring a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube placement 3 years earlier presented with sepsis and acute colonic pseudo-obstruction. By hospital day 10 after making significant clinical improvement in the days prior, she began to have repeated episodes of non-bloody, bilious emesis. Her tube feedings were discontinued. Serial plain films of the abdomen showed improving colonic distention.

Statin use is not associated with improved 30-day survival in patients undergoing surgery for colorectal cancer
ConclusionThe study did not show an improved 30-day survival after surgery for colorectal cancer in patients treated with statins in the year preceding surgery. No overall association with the risk of postoperative complications was shown.

New predictive model for acute gastrointestinal bleeding in patients taking oral anticoagulants: A cohort study
ConclusionsGastrointestinal bleeding increased the risk of subsequent mortality during follow‐up of anticoagulated patients, highlighting the importance of prevention. The study developed a new scoring model for acute GI bleeding risk based on five factors (no‐proton pump inhibitor use, chronic kidney disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, history of peptic ulcer disease, and liver cirrhosis), which was superior to the HAS‐BLED score.

An Unusual Cause of Abdominal Pain in a Young, Hypertensive Female
Question: A 21-year-old woman of Indian descent presented with subacute left upper quadrant abdominal pain. The pain was sharp, severe, and elicited by food. She denied diarrhea, constipation, and weight loss. Her past medical history was significant for hypertension diagnosed as a teenager and ischemic stroke, attributed to Moya-Moya disease, and treated with stenting and bypass of the left middle cerebral and internal carotid arteries. Her medications included amlodipine, aspirin, and topiramate.

The relation between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and carotid intima-media thickness in Egyptian patients
This study was designed to assess the correlation between NAFLD as a cardiovascular risk factor and carotid atherosclerosis.
Patients and methods
A hospital-based case–control analytical study was conducted on 60 participants who were divided into three groups as follows. Group I included 20 diabetic patients with NAFLD. Group II included 20 nondiabetic patients with NAFLD. Group III included 20 healthy participants who served as a control group. The right and left carotid intima-media thickness (CIMTs) and their maximum reading (CIMTmax) was measured by a skilled sonographer blind to the groups. Pelviabdominal ultras...
