This narrative review provides a comprehensive overview of complications in interventional radiology (IR), focusing on their aetiology, recognition, and management. As IR procedures continue to evolve and expand, understanding potential adverse events is crucial for improving patient safety and outcomes. The review will summarise various common complications associated with IR-based procedures, including their presentation, aetiology, and management.

Transcatheter arterial embolisation (TAE) has emerged as a potential therapeutic option for managing this condition, especially in the context of failed endoscopic management. This systematic review aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TAE in treating acute upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding caused by gastric cancer.

- The brain uses a process called hippocampal neuronal plasticity to help us learn and remember things, which involves changes in how brain cells connect with each other.
- A protein called midkine (Mdk) is important for the brain's development and memory, and when it's missing, some types of memory can be affected.
- In experiments with rats, scientists found that learning activities caused Mdk levels to rise quickly and that adding more Mdk helped improve their memory in tests, showing that Mdk plays a helpful role in how we learn and remember.
Background: We aim to ascertain prognostic factors in the current management of anal cancer within this study.
Methods: We reviewed the management and outcomes of anal cancer cases over a seven-year period, inclusive (2016-2023). The primary objectives were to assess the demographic characteristics, clinical presentation, and outcomes of all anal cancer patients within our institution.
