Over-the-scope clip as first-line therapy for ulcers with high-risk bleeding stigmata is efficient compared to standard endoscopic therapy.

Ulcers with high-risk stigmata have significant rebleeding rates despite standard endoscopic therapy. Data on over-the-scope clip (OTSC) for recurrent bleeding is promising but data on first line therapy is lacking. We report comparative outcomes of OTSC as first-line therapy versus standard endoscopic therapy in ulcers with high-risk stigmata.

Fenofibrate: A Nonlithogenic Means of Recurrent Drug-Induced Pancreatitis.

Medications account for a small portion of the various etiologies of acute pancreatitis. Prompt identification of drugs as the inciting factor decreases disease recurrence and unnecessary invasive diagnostic intervention. This case is a report of fenofibrate-induced acute pancreatitis including a disease recurrence with continuation of fenofibrate which subsequently resolved after drug discontinuation.

Meckel's Diverticulum in Crohn's Disease Revisited: A Case of Meckel's Diverticulitis in a Patient with Stricturing Crohn's Disease.

According to anecdotal reports in literature, encountering Meckel's diverticulum in a patient with Crohn's disease is not uncommon, but differentiating between the overlapping complications of Mickel's diverticulum and the natural manifestations of Crohn's disease can be challenging and may impact lifelong therapy. In this report, we present a case of Meckel's diverticulitis in a patient with stricturing ileocolonic Crohn's disease. A 29-year-old male has been suffering from recurrent bouts of abdominal pain and diarrhea which were initially thought to be due to recurrent flares of Crohn's disease.
