Appropriate Use of Antibiotics in Acute Pancreatitis: A Scoping Review.

Background: While selective use of antibiotics for infected pancreatic necrosis (IPN) in acute pancreatitis (AP) is recommended, studies indicate a high rate of inadequate treatment.

Methods: A search of PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane databases was conducted, focusing on primary research and meta-analyses. Data were categorized based on core concepts, and a narrative synthesis was performed.

Inflammatory cloacogenic polyp: differential diagnose with endoscopic malignant lesions.

Inflammatory cloacogenic polyp is an unusual anorectal lesion associated with benign polyp with malignant appearance. This pathology is associated with mucosal prolapse syndrome and inflammatory intestinal disease. The surgery is the gold standard treatment if malignancy cannot be excluded or the patient is symptomatic.

Adult intestinal malrotation: imaging findings.

Intestinal malrotation is the most common congenital anomaly of the small intestine. However, it is associated with delayed diagnosis due to the lack of specificity of its symptoms, which can lead to devastating consequences such as intestinal volvulus or massive intestinal necrosis. We present a clinical case in which we highlight the importance of abdominal computed tomography and the detection of its characteristic signs for the early identification of this pathology.
