Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) can lead to unplanned care in patients with cancer, which may affect their prognosis and survival. We aimed to compare the rates, timing, and length of stay of unplanned CVD readmission in hospitalized patients with and without cancer.
Methods: This study used the 2017-2018 Nationwide Readmissions Database to identify adult hospitalized patients with and without cancer.
Article Synopsis
- Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (LELC) is a rare form of early gastric cancer, characterized by younger patients and a greater occurrence of tumors located in the upper stomach.
- Despite having a higher rate of deep submucosal invasion compared to well or moderately differentiated gastric cancers, LELC shows lower rates of lymphatic invasion and lymph node metastasis (LNM).
- The study suggests that endoscopic submucosal dissection could be an effective treatment option for early-stage LELC, particularly for tumors limited to the mucosa or shallow submucosa due to the low risk of metastasis.
Article Synopsis
- - A retrospective review from 2015 to 2023 identified 21 cases of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) linked to SGLT2 inhibitors, with 57.1% presenting as euglycemic DKA (euDKA) and 42.9% as hyperglycemic DKA (hyDKA).
- - Most DKA cases occurred in type 2 diabetes patients, with hyDKA individuals exhibiting worse glycemic control, lower C-peptide levels, and more severe renal impairment, leading to complications like hemodialysis in some cases.
- - Common symptoms included nausea and weakness, with contributing factors for DKA being infections, dehydration, and improper insulin use, highlighting the need for
Background And Aims: When treating undifferentiated-type early gastric cancer (UD-EGC) that is limited to the mucosa (clinically T1a), endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) can be considered if the tumor is 2 cm or less and is not ulcerated. However, there is insufficient evidence to determine the relationships between tumor size and oncological safety of ESD in UD-EGC.
Methods: The pathology reports of Korean patients who were diagnosed with UD-EGC (n = 5286) were retrospectively reviewed.
