[Correction of aphakia in cases of insufficient capsular bag stability].

A variety of situations can lead to the need for an alternative method of intraocular lens (IOL) fixation if implantation in the capsular bag is not possible. Depending on the situation, sulcus-fixated IOLs, iris-fixated IOLs (IFIOLs) and scleral-fixated IOLs (SFIOLs) are available. With SFIOLs, a distinction is made between suture-fixated and sutureless-fixated techniques.

A Rare Case of Malignant Insulinoma Associated With Gastrointestinal Bleed.

A gastrointestinal bleed (GIB) in the setting of metastatic insulinoma is a rare phenomenon. It appears that cases of metastatic insulinoma causing GIB are rare, often influenced by the tumor's location. Our case involves an 82-year-old male with dementia and a history of recurrent hypoglycemia, presenting with an episode of altered mental status.

The Diagnostic Yield of Endoscopic Ultrasound in Asymptomatic Patients with Unexplained Dilated Common Bile Duct, or Double Duct Sign with Normal Transaminase a Retrospective Study from a Single Urban-based University Endoscopy Center.

Background: Common bile duct dilatation alone or double duct sign (both CBD and dilated pancreatic duct dilatation) and abnormal liver enzymes are highly predictive of biliary disease. This can be identified on ultrasound (US), CT scan, and/or magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP). Unexplained dilatation on imaging might warrant endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) to identify any occult causes.

A Case of Gastric Glomus Tumor Misdiagnosed as Carcinoid Tumor.

Glomus tumor is a rare mesenchymal tumor commonly located in the periphery of glomus bodies, such as the subungual regions (e.g., fingernails and toenails).
