Article Synopsis
- - A 50-year-old man with primary enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma experienced abdominal pain, chronic diarrhea, and significant weight loss over 6 months, leading to a diagnosis confirmed by endoscopy and imaging.
- - The patient received an intensive chemotherapy regimen that included cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and others, followed by high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation.
- - Despite facing serious complications during treatment, the patient achieved remission, highlighting the potential benefits of stem cell transplantation for this type of lymphoma and the need for more research on its effectiveness.
Background And Objectives: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) is a viable alternative in cases with failed ERCP transpapillary drainage (ERCP-TPD). This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of EUS-BD and ERCP-TPD for primary biliary drainage in patients with distal malignant biliary obstruction (DMBO).
Methods: We searched Embase, PubMed, and Medline databases for studies comparing EUS-BD and ERCP-TPD in DMBO, from inception until September 2023.
Background/aims: Acute liver failure (ALF) is associated with fatal outcomes without liver transplantation. Two randomized studies reported standard volume (SV) and high volume (HV) plasma exchange (PLEX) as effective therapeutic modalities for patients with ALF. However, no studies have compared the safety and efficacy of SV with HV PLEX, which we aimed to assess.
