Sequential bowel necrosis and large gastric ulcer in a patient with a ruptured femoral artery: A case report.
World J Gastrointest Surg
July 2024
Background: Severe bleeding as a result of a major vascular injury is a potentially fatal event commonly observed in the emergency department. Bowel necrosis and gastric ulcers secondary to ischemia are rare due to their rich blood supply. In this case, we present the case of a patient who was treated successfully following rupture of his femoral artery resulting in bowel necrosis and an unusually large gastric ulcer.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the cost-effectiveness ratio of surgical treatment options for small hepatocellular carcinoma (SHC) by using the decision tree model and providing a reference for the clinical therapeutic decisions for SHC.
Methods: The data of 719 cases with SHC in the BCLC 0-A who were treated in the past were collected. The survival duration and treatment cost of patients in each experimental group after hepatic resection (HR), radiofrequency ablation (RFA), and orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) were statistically analyzed.
Article Synopsis
- * Researchers are exploring the use of amniotic epithelial cells combined with silk fibroin scaffolds as a promising approach due to their pluripotency, low immunogenicity, and ethical advantages.
- * In a rat model of spinal cord injury, the combination of amniotic epithelial cells and silk fibroin scaffolds led to reduced glial scar formation, less inflammation, and improved motor function, showing their effectiveness in promoting nerve repair.
Objective: Interleukin-21 (IL-21) is a cytokine that is an important modulator of immune responses. However, its roles in epilepsy are not completely clear. Here, we investigated the expression and distribution of IL-21 in a kainic acid (KA)-induced acute seizure mouse model.
