Congenital pancreaticobiliary anomalies in an urban medical center in the United States.

Background And Aim: Pancreaticobiliary anomalies are rare and often present with cryptic signs and symptoms, thus delaying appropriate treatment.

Methods: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was used to define pancreaticobiliary anomalies. A retrospective review was performed of 5522 ERCPs conducted at a tertiary care center from 1972 to 2015.

Acute hemorrhagic rectal ulcer: Experience in 11 patients at an urban acute care center in the USA: A case series.

Introduction: Acute hemorrhagic rectal ulcer (AHRU) is a rare entity which has most frequently been described in Japan and Taiwan literature. This study characterizes 11 AHRUs identified and managed at an urban acute care hospital in the United States of America (USA).

Methods: A total of 2253 inpatients underwent colonoscopy.

Management of early PEG tube dislodgement: simultaneous endoscopic closure of gastric wall defect and PEG replacement.

A 53-year-old man with dysphagia underwent uneventful placement of a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube for long-term enteral feeding access. 11 hours after the procedure, it was discovered that he had accidentally dislodged the feeding tube.
