Article Synopsis
- Chronic mesenteric ischemia is a rare condition with vague symptoms, making it hard to diagnose and potentially leading to more severe complications.
- A 74-year-old woman with a history of breast cancer experienced abdominal pain after eating, vomiting, and weight loss, prompting further medical examinations.
- Despite showing chronic gastritis that didn’t respond to treatment, the patient's symptoms warranted investigation for chronic mesenteric ischemia, highlighting the importance of considering this diagnosis even when other medical histories could be confusing.
Aim: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of a modified cyanoacrylate [N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate associated with methacryloxysulfolane (NBCA + MS)] to treat non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (NV-UGIB).
Methods: In our retrospective study we took into account 579 out of 1177 patients receiving endoscopic treatment for NV-UGIB admitted to our institution from 2008 to 2015; the remaining 598 patients were treated with other treatments. Initial hemostasis was not achieved in 45 of 579 patients; early rebleeding occurred in 12 of 579 patients.
Objective: As it has been demonstrated that a careful duodenal inspection during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy may be useful in predicting coeliac disease, we tried to define the usefulness of endoscopy in detecting unsuspected coeliac patients.
Design And Methods: We considered all the first diagnoses of coeliac disease from 1992 to 2001, i.e.
