Article Synopsis
- * A 76-year-old man with a pancreatic head tumor, diagnosed as a metastasis of renal cell carcinoma, experienced worsening symptoms and was readmitted for treatment after initial discharge.
- * The patient underwent ERCP, which revealed bleeding, and effective hemostasis was achieved using a fully covered metallic stent, demonstrating its usefulness in treating hemobilia linked to tumors.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the relationship between pancreatic cysts and cystic diseases in other organs using abdominal ultrasonography among patients undergoing medical checkups.
- Out of 4,496 patients examined, 172 had pancreatic cysts, while many others had liver and renal cysts, highlighting the prevalence of these conditions.
- The findings indicated that pancreatic cysts were more common in females, and the presence of renal cysts may suggest a potential link, indicating the need to monitor for pancreatic cysts if renal cysts are found.

Transarterial embolization (TAE) is performed in patients with colonic diverticular bleeding after difficult endoscopic hemostasis or rebleeding. A total of 375 patients with hematochezia at our hospital from 1 April 2016 to 31 March 2020 were retrospectively analysed. Firstly, we compared the group in which hemostasis was achieved by endoscopy alone with the group that eventually underwent TAE.

Patients And Methods: Eighty-three patients (83 eyes) who had ME in BRVO for 26 weeks or less underwent pars plana vitrectomy and internal limiting membrane dissection and were followed post-operatively for more than one year. The eighty-three eyes were divided into 38 eyes with sheathotomy(sheathotomy group) and 45 eyes without sheathotomy(non-shesthotomy group).
