Background: Management of biliopancreatic pathology in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) patients is challenging despite the availability of multiple approaches like single-balloon enteroscopy-assisted ERCP (SBE-ERCP), laparoscopy-assisted ERCP (LA-ERCP), and EUS-directed transgastric intervention (EDGI). We evaluated the outcomes of the interchangeable combination of endoscopic procedures to treat biliopancreatic pathology in RYGB patients.
Materials And Methods: This is a monocentric retrospective study of consecutive RYGB patients with biliopancreatic pathology between June 2014 and September 2023.
Background And Aims: Two or more National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) points on each motor items (AL score) have shown good accuracy in predicting large vessel occlusion (LVO) in the prehospital setting of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) care. We aimed to study this score for LVO prediction in our stroke network and predictors of poor outcome (PO) after mechanical thrombectomy (MT).
Methods: From our Safe Implementation of Thrombolysis in Stroke (SITS) registry including patients receiving reperfusion therapy for AIS, we retrospectively computed the AL score from the admission NIHSS to test the diagnostic accuracy for LVO prediction.

Summary: A 52-year-old female presented with recurrent episodes of fasting or post-absorptive hypoglycemia. A 72-h fasting test confirmed endogenous hyperinsulinemia. Conventional imaging was unremarkable.
