Managing fluid balance and nutritional status in a short bowel syndrome patient awaiting intestinal transplant: a case report.

Background: Despite being a long-term therapy for patients with short bowel syndrome (SBS), subcutaneous injections of teduglutide promote the regeneration of the gastrointestinal tract. Such cases are particularly concerning for patients with residual small bowel.

Methods: In this report, we present a case of an SBS patient with only 5 cm of remaining small bowel and a high-output duodenal stoma, who was treated with teduglutide.

Re-assessing the role of peri-operative nutritional therapy in patients with pancreatic cancer undergoing surgery: a narrative review.

Pancreatic cancer is the most common medical condition that requires pancreatic resection. Over the last three decades, significant improvements have been made in the conditions and procedures related to pancreatic surgery, resulting in mortality rates lower than 5%. However, it is important to note that the morbidity in pancreatic surgery remains r latively high, with a percentage range of 30-60%.

Heterotopic Kidney Autotransplantation for Recurrent Iatrogenic Distal Ureteral Injury: A Case Report.

Iatrogenic ureteral injuries are a significant complication during pelvic surgery, requiring a multidisciplinary approach for optimal repair. When a ureteral injury is suspected postoperatively, abdominal imaging is essential to determine the type of injury and thus the timing and method of reconstruction. That can be performed either by a CT pyelogram or by an ureterography-cystography with or without ureter stenting.

Granular cell tumor of distal bile duct treated with Whipple's procedure.

Granular cell tumors (GCTs) are rare benign neoplasms that are most often located in the soft tissues of the extremities and chest wall. Malignant GCTs have also been reported. GCTs of the biliary tract are extremely rare, uncommon non-epithelial benign neoplasms that cause focal thickening of bile duct wall without mucosal invasion.

Risk Factors of the Development of Diabetes Mellitus After Kidney Transplantation.

Background: The occurrence of diabetes mellitus is common after kidney transplantation (posttransplant diabetes mellitus [PTDM]) and enhances the cardiovascular risk and risk for kidney graft loss. The incidence of PTDM is about 5% to 40%. This study aimed to examine the potential risk factors that determine the occurrence of PTDM.
