A Rare Coexistence: Achalasia Esophagus and Acute Intestinal Pseudo-Obstruction.

Achalasia esophagus and acute intestinal pseudo-obstruction are distinct gastrointestinal motility disorders rarely found together in the same patient. We present a case of a 96-year-old woman exhibiting symptoms of both conditions, including dysphagia, regurgitation, abdominal distension, nausea, vomiting, and constipation. Diagnostic evaluations revealed esophageal dilation with a "bird beak" sign on timed barium swallows and significant bowel dilation without mechanical obstruction on computed tomography scans.

Treatment of Dialysis Access Steal Syndrome with Concomitant Vascular Access Aneurysms.

Limb ischemia is a known complication of vascular access that may appear early postoperatively or after years. Over the last few decades, various techniques based on different physiological mechanisms have been used for treatment. A standardized treatment does not exist, and must be individualized based on the flow volume, and the type and location of the access.
