Multiple synchronous adenocarcinomas of the small bowel in a young patient: A case report.

Presentation Of Case: We present the rare case of a sixteen-year-old woman that presents to the emergency department with an intussusception due to a small bowel tumor.

Thiazolidinediones and risk of repeat target vessel revascularization following percutaneous coronary intervention: a meta-analysis.

Objective: Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) (rosiglitazone and pioglitazone) are a class of antidiabetes agents that have a high affinity for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma. TZDs initiate a multitude of physiologic processes that may elicit benefits as systemic agents for the prevention of restenosis requiring revascularization following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Numerous trials have evaluated the impact of TZDs on repeat target vessel revascularization (TVR) in patients following PCI; however, several limitations (small sample size, inconclusive results, and risk factor stratification) complicate definitive conclusions.
