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.
Aim: Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is one of the common complications of liver cirrhosis. Although anticoagulation contributes to thrombus resolution and is considered the first-choice treatment, its impact on patients' prognosis is still controversial. This study aimed to clarify the benefit of anticoagulation on mortality, liver function, and the incidence of liver cirrhosis-related complications in cirrhotic PVT patients.

- A 43-year-old woman experienced symptoms like weakness, tingling, and difficulty swallowing 12 days after receiving the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.
- Medical tests revealed normal cerebrospinal fluid but decreased nerve conduction, leading to a diagnosis of immune-mediated polyneuropathy linked to the vaccine.
- Treatment with plasma exchange improved her condition, indicating a potential non-specific immune response as a contributing factor compared to other similar cases.
