Clinical outcomes of endoscopic detachable snare ligation for colonic diverticular hemorrhage: Multicenter cohort study.

Objectives: The hemostatic mechanism of endoscopic detachable snare ligation (EDSL) for colonic diverticular hemorrhage (CDH) is similar to that of endoscopic band ligation, which is effective and safe. However, because reports on EDSL are scarce, we conducted a two-center cohort study to evaluate its effectiveness.

Methods: This study analyzed 283 patients with CDH treated with EDSL at two Japanese hospitals between July 2015 and November 2021.

A case of refractory immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced colitis with infection.

The clinical symptoms of an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-induced colitis are similar to those of ulcerative colitis. ICI-induced colitis, like ulcerative colitis, may be complicated by other colitis, such as infection (CDI). A 72-year-old man was admitted because of watery and bloody stools 10 times a day after three courses of nivolumab (antibodies against programmed death 1) and ipilimumab (cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen-4) for stage IV renal cell carcinoma.
