Endoscopic Complications Are More Frequent in Levodopa-Carbidopa Intestinal Gel Treatment via JET-PEG in Parkinson's Disease Patients Compared to Nutritional PEG in Non-Parkinson's Disease Patients.

: To date, no studies comparing complication rates between patients with nutritional percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (N-PEG) and Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with percutaneous endoscopic gastro-jejunostomy (JET-PEG) for treatment administration have been published. Our study aimed to compare complication rates and the number of re-endoscopies between N-PEG and JET-PEG patients. : Individuals requiring N-PEG or JET-PEG insertion between 2014 and 2021 were included in this single-center retrospective observational study.

Infective endocarditis caused by : a case report and review of literature.

Background: constitutes a genus of gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria that act as potentially opportunistic pathogens. With only a few documented case studies to date, species are rarely the cause of a disease in humans.

Case Summary: We report a case involving a 64-year-old male with known mild mitral regurgitation, who presented with fever and dyspnoea.

Recurring Asystole and Paradoxical Air Embolization in a Patient with a Patent Foramen Ovale Treated with Home Parenteral Nutrition.

Unlabelled: Home parenteral nutrition is a therapeutic option for chronic intestinal failure. A tunnelled central venous catheter is commonly used for self-application of nutrition and hydration over a long period of time; that is, months or years. Air embolization within the venous circulation can be caused by inconsistent self-handling of the catheter in combination with air bubbles in the infusion set.
