Article Synopsis
- The study examines the effects of timing for esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) in adults with food bolus impaction, comparing results to European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) guidelines.
- A total of 248 patients were reviewed, revealing complication rates of 31.6% for minor issues, 6.9% for tears, and 0.8% for perforations, with no significant links between delays in EGD and adverse outcomes.
- The findings suggest that age and the severity of complications are better predictors of hospital stay than the timing of EGD following ingestion or presentation.
Disseminated intravascular coagulation is a complex and potentially lethal complication of malignancy, in which the fundamental abnormality is excessive activation of the coagulation system. It is a rare complication of melanoma which can be difficult to diagnose in some circumstances, leading to delay in treatment. Herein, we describe the first case of disseminated intravascular coagulation occurring in BRAF and NRAS-mutant metastatic melanoma, and systematically review the literature regarding disseminated intravascular coagulation in melanoma.
