Multimodal neural interfaces open new opportunities in brain research by enabling more sophisticated and systematic neural circuit dissection. Integrating complementary features across distinct functional domains, these multifunctional neural probes have greatly advanced the interrogation of complex neural circuitry. However, introducing multiple functionalities into a compact form factor for freely behaving animals presents substantial design hurdles that complicate the device or require more than one device.

- Bullous pemphigoid is a rare autoimmune blistering skin disease that primarily affects older adults, with possible mucosal lesions in areas like the eyes and mouth in 10%-35% of cases.
- A 73-year-old woman with anemia from vitamin B12 deficiency was examined via esophagogastroduodenoscopy, revealing two blood-filled bullae and ulcerations in her upper esophagus.
- Although bullous pemphigoid is usually skin-related, esophageal involvement should be considered when patients exhibit related symptoms or unexplained anemia.
Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most frequent type of liver malignancy. Most cases of hepatocellular carcinoma are secondary to either viral hepatitis (hepatitis B, C) or alcoholic cirrhosis. Liver cirrhosis due to any other causes is considered as a risk factor for development of hepatocellular carcinoma; however, hepatocellular carcinoma in non cirrhotic livers remains a rare condition.

Progress in surgical techniques has led to operations for more patients outside these guidelines. Our case shows a patient with intermediate stage hepatocellular carcinoma presenting a good outcome after curative treatment.

Case Presentation: A 41-year-old North African woman was admitted to our emergency department for massive rectal bleeding.
