A case of colonic perforation in collagenous colitis without diarrheal symptoms.: A case report.

Introduction: Collagenous colitis is an inflammatory disease characterized by hyperplasia of the collagen band beneath the colonic mucous membrane. Chronic diarrhea is a characteristic clinical symptom. The disease is often diagnosed accidentally on colonoscopy for chronic diarrhea, and patients without chronic diarrhea have few chances to suspect the disease.

[A Case of Obstructive Rectal Cancer with Flaccid Constipation Resected One Year and Three Months after SEMS Implantation].

We report a case of rectal cancer that was resected 1 year and 3 months after SEMS implantation. An 89-year-old man was previously diagnosed with sigmoid colon cancer at another hospital but did not undergo surgery. Three years and 7 months after the diagnosis, SEMS was implanted at another hospital.

[Clinical Characteristics, Surgical Outcomes, and Optimal Approach Methods for Transverse Colon Cancers].

Surgery for transverse colon cancer is very difficult because of small number of patients, variations in the vascular system, and complexity of the mobilize hepatic and splenic flexure of colon. We analyzed the clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes in 51 cases who underwent surgery for transverse colon cancer at our hospital between January 2014 and December 2021, and examined the optimal laparoscopic approach method. The surgical procedure was right hemicolectomy in 24 cases, transverse colectomy in 22 cases, and left hemicolectomy in 5 cases, of which 37 cases had laparoscopic surgery.

[Surgical Outcomes and Clinicopathological Analysis of Non-Ampullary Duodenal Tumors].

Non-ampullary duodenal tumors are relatively rare; however, in recent years, they have been encountered more frequently. We analyzed the surgical outcomes and clinicopathological findings in 20 patients who underwent surgery based on preoperative diagnoses of non-ampullary duodenal tumors at our hospital between January 2011 and April 2021. We performed surgery for 3 cases of GIST, 4 cases of adenoma, and 13 cases of adenocarcinoma.

[Penrose Method Independent of the Rib Arch for Retraction of the Liver in Laparoscopic Gastrectomy y-Shape+1 Method].

We report the y-shape+1 method, which is a retraction of the liver method, independent of the position of the costal arch. Additionally, we report changes in liver enzymes induced by different methods of liver retraction. Three Penrose No.

Automatic Segmentation of Pancreatic Tumors Using Deep Learning on a Video Image of Contrast-Enhanced Endoscopic Ultrasound.

Background: Contrast-enhanced endoscopic ultrasound (CE-EUS) is useful for the differentiation of pancreatic tumors. Using deep learning for the segmentation and classification of pancreatic tumors might further improve the diagnostic capability of CE-EUS.

Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the capability of deep learning for the automatic segmentation of pancreatic tumors on CE-EUS video images and possible factors affecting the automatic segmentation.

Late i.v. steroid treatment for severe COVID-19-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome: a case report.

Background: The efficacy of steroid treatment for coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is unknown.

Case Presentation: A 67-year-old man was transported to our hospital due to impaired consciousness and respiratory failure. After admission, tracheal aspirate of the patient was harvested, and it tested positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 nucleic acid.

The Nursing Assessment of Medication Acceptance: the reliability and validity of a schizophrenia medication adherence scale.

Background: Many patients with schizophrenia have low medication adherence. There is, however, no objective assessment scale that can be used by nurses or caregiver specialists. The Nursing Assessment of Medication Acceptance (NAMA) was developed to assess patients' medication adherence.

Utility of blood lactate level in triage.

Aim: Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment (START) is commonly used at disaster scenes. The Canadian Emergency Department Triage and Acuity Scale (CTAS) is used in urban and rural emergency departments (ED). However, triage is not always accurate or appropriate.

Hypoxic cardiopulmonary arrest with full recovery after induced hypothermic therapy.

Case: The patient's chart was reviewed, summarized, and presented.

Outcome: A 41-year-old male collapsed after complaining of dyspnea just before the end of a hemodialysis session. He was just being introduced to hemodialysis.
