Article Synopsis
- Punctate hippocampal hyperintensity (PHH) on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is typically associated with transient global amnesia (TGA) but can also appear in other contexts, such as in a 56-year-old male after seizures.
- The patient experienced focal onset bilateral tonic-clonic seizures and exhibited bilateral PHHs in the CA1 regions of the hippocampus without showing TGA symptoms.
- This case suggests that PHH may have broader clinical significance beyond TGA, raising questions about the mechanisms behind its occurrence in epileptic events.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate how Helicobacter pylori infection affects gastric lesions in patients with non-eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases (non-EoE EGIDs).
- A review of 75 patients found that common gastric findings included erythema, erosions, ulcers, and edema, with no significant differences based on gastric mucosal atrophy, which indicates H. pylori infection.
- The researchers concluded that gastric ulcers in non-EoE EGIDs should be considered when diagnosing idiopathic peptic ulcers, as there was no specific pattern in lesion frequency related to atrophic gastritis.
A 48-year-old man with no history of diagnosis with any abnormality was admitted to our hospital 43 min after onset of stroke. He had a right conjugate deviation and severe left hemiparesis, and his initial National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score was 13. Computed tomography (CT) of the head revealed no early ischemic changes, while CT angiography showed occlusion of the M1 proximal segment of the right middle cerebral artery.

Methods: A total of 425 patients who underwent gastrectomy for primary gastric cancer in our institution between April 2013 and March 2020 were classified by age into two groups: elderly patients (EP, age ≥ 80 years, n = 89); and younger patients (YP, age < 80 years, n = 336). The preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative conditions of the two groups were then compared.
Background: Postoperative pancreatic fistulas (POPFs) occur after 20% to 30% of laparoscopic distal pancreatectomies. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy using triple-row staplers in preventing POPFs.
Methods: Between April 2016 and May 2023, 59 patients underwent complete laparoscopic distal pancreatectomies.
