This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of cell block (CB) and liquid-based cytology (LBC) for endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) in pancreatic tumors. The study included patients who underwent EUS-FNA for pancreatic tumors between January 2015 and February 2021 and whose cytology samples were both processed for LBC and CB. Data of 390 patients (220 men, mean age: 64.

Article Synopsis
  • Dieulafoy lesions (DLs) are dilated submucosal arteries that can cause bleeding in the upper gastrointestinal tract, accounting for a small percentage of acute non-variceal bleeding cases.
  • A case of a 72-year-old man with Alzheimer's and coronary artery disease showed a DL near the esophagus, which was treated with endoscopic clips, but he later developed additional DLs.
  • These findings underline that DLs can appear together and highlight the importance of thorough examination to prevent further bleeding complications.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examined severe hepatitis (SH), acute liver injury (ALI), and acute liver failure (ALF) due to mushroom toxicity in 24 patients over 9 years.
  • At admission, most patients had SH, with some progressing to ALI and ALF, especially those with higher MELD scores.
  • Results showed a 100% survival rate in both SH and ALI groups, suggesting that a MELD score of <15 indicates a low risk of progression, yet monitoring is crucial for ALI patients due to a significant chance of developing ALF.
