An unnecessary complication of PEG feeding
An 81-year-old woman underwent percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube insertion following a stroke. She presented with PEG tube malfunction 2 years later, when a gastroscopy showed the bumper of the PEG tube to be covered by gastric mucosa. Endoscopic removal of the tube was attempted by incising the mucosa but was unsuccessful. A second PEG tube was placed proximally within the stomach, and the patient was discharged back to the nursing home. The nutrition nurses provided education on PEG tube care to the staff, including clear instructions on buried bumper prevention. Three months later, the problem recurred...

Role of Endoscopic Gastroplasty Techniques in the Management of Obesity.
Authors: Jung Y Abstract Health and wellness represent a major global concern. Trends such as a lack of exercise and excessive consumption of calories are major causes of the rapid increase in obesity worldwide.

However, many people have difficulty in managing obesity through exercise, dietary control, behavioral modifications, and drug therapy. Bariatric surgery is not commonly used due to a variety of complications, even th...

Transesophageal Echocardiography Complications in Adult Cardiac Surgery: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Conclusions The overall incidence of TEE complications after cardiac surgery was 1.4%. Advanced age, low body mass index, complexity of procedure, prior stroke, prolonged bypass time, and return to the operating room appear to be significant risk factors for TEE complications.

All bleeding stops — but does idarucizumab (Praxbind) make it stop faster?
3.5 out of 5 stars Persistent life-threatening hemorrhage after administration of idarucizumab. Alhashem HM et al. Am J Emerg Med 2016 June 30 [Epub ahead of print] Reference Dabigatran (Pradaxa) is a direct thrombin inhibitor approved for stroke and embolism prophylaxis in patients with non-valve-related atrial fibrillation. When it was first released in 2008, a major disincentive to widespread use was the lack of a reliable reversal agent to treat major bleeds, or to administer before necessary invasive procedures. In October 2015, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved idarucizumab (Praxbind), a monoclonal ant...

Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is a safe option for benign lung diseases requiring lobectomy
Conclusions We conclude that pathology did not impact on outcomes after VATS lobectomy. This study suggests that VATS is as a safe option in selected patients with benign disease requiring lobectomy, despite a more complex technical context.

Limitations of Routine Verification of Nasogastric Tube Insertion Using X-ray and Auscultation: Two Case Reports of Life-Threatening Complications.
We present 2 cases of rare complications in which the routine verification methods could not detect all the complications related to the nasogastric tube placement. Case 1 was a 17-year-old male who presented with a brain tumor and repeatedly required nasogastric tube placement. Despite normal auscultatory and X-ray findings, the patient's condition deteriorated rapidly after resuming the enteral nutrition (EN). Computed tomography images showed the presence of hepatic portal venous gas (HPVG). Urgent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed esophagogastric submucosal tunneling of the tube that required an emergency open to...

Case Report: Acute Cerebellar Thrombosis in an Adult Patient with IgM Nephropathy.
We describe a patient who presented with nonspecific symptoms of epigastric pain, nausea, and early satiety. Abdominal imaging and endoscopies were unremarkable. She was found to have significant proteinuria (6.4 g/24 hours), hyperlipidemia, and edema consistent with a diagnosis of nephrotic syndrome. Kidney biopsy was performed and confirmed an IgM nephropathy. Less than 2 weeks after her diagnosis of IgM nephropathy, she presented with an acute cerebellar stroke. Thrombophilia is a well-known complication of nephrotic syndrome, but a review of the literature failed to show an association between IgM nephropathy and acute...
