Article Synopsis
- Gallibacterium anatis and Enterococcus cecorum are bacteria linked to opportunistic infections in poultry and occasionally cause infections in immunocompromised individuals from contaminated food.
- A 78-year-old Japanese man with acute cholangitis was found to have a coinfection of these bacteria, which were identified as highly virulent and multidrug-resistant strains through genome sequencing.
- The case highlights that a common bile duct stone can pose a risk for infections by these pathogens even in healthy individuals, underscoring the need for monitoring these bacteria in animals and understanding their effects on human health.
A 67-year-old male with postprandial abdominal pain for 4 months obtained medical attention for severe pain. He was diagnosed with small intestinal necrosis, secondary to chronic mesenteric ischemia by CT scan. We performed the surgery including a partial resection of the small intestine and left external iliac artery to the superior mesenteric artery bypass using saphenous vein graft.

Primary lesions can develop in several locations but rarely arise in the colon as described herein. The present case was that of a 69-year-old woman who visited our hospital with complaints of bloody bowel discharge and a prolapsed mass from the anus.

Hepatogastroenterology
March 2003
Background/aims: Contrast radiology predicts the outcome of treatment for patients with small bowel obstruction. The optimal method of contrast radiology to determine the indications for and timing of surgery is controversial.
Methodology: Contrast radiology was performed for patients with postoperative adhesive small bowel obstruction between April 1, 2000 and March 31, 2001.
Background/aims: Extended radical surgery might provide a survival advantage for patients with carcinoma of the head of the pancreas.
Methodology: Between January 1980 and December 1999, 144 patients with carcinoma of the head of the pancreas were treated in a community hospital setting, of whom 69 patients who underwent radical surgery were retrospectively reviewed. Surgical procedures included standard pancreaticoduodenectomy (27 patients), pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (27 patients), and total pancreatectomy (15 patients).
