Objective: To evaluate the influence of changes in alveolar ventilation on the following tonometry-derived variables: gastric intramucosal CO2 tension (PtCO2), gastric arterial CO2 tension difference (PgapCO2), gastric intramucosal pH (pHi) and arterial pH-pHi difference (pHgap).
Design: Clinical prospective study.
Setting: A medical intensive care unit in a university hospital.
Patients: Ten critically ill, mechanically ventilated patients requiring hemodynamic monitoring with pulmonary artery catheter.
Interventions: Gastric tonometer placement. A progressive increase in tidal volume (V(T)) from 7 to 10 ml/ kg followed by an abrupt return to baseline V(T) level.
Measurements And Main Results: Tonometer saline PtCO2 and hemodynamic data were collected hourly at various V(T) levels: H0 and H0' (baseline V(T) = 7 ml/kg), H1 (V(T) = 8 ml/kg), H2 (V(T) = 9 ml/kg), H3 (V(T) = 10 ml/kg), H4 (baseline V(T)). During the "hyperventilation phase" (H0-H3), pHi (p<0.01) and pHgap (p<0.05) increased but PgapCO2 remained unchanged. Cardiac output (CO) was not affected by ventilatory change. During the "hypoventilation phase" (H3-H4), pHi fell from 7.27+/-0.11 to 7.23+/-0.09 (p<0.01) and PgapCO2 decreased from 16+/-5 mm Hg to 13+/-4 mm Hg (p<0.05). V(T) reduction was associated with a significant cardiac output elevation (p<0.05).
Conclusions: PaCO2 and PtCO2 are similarly influenced by the changes in alveolar ventilation. Unlike pHi, the PgapCO2 is not affected by ventilation variations unless CO changes are associated.

Objectives: Colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for large tumors is spreading worldwide. Gastric cancer (GC) sometimes occurs after colorectal ESD. However, its status including frequency and risk factors have not been examined well.

Background And Aim: Lymphatic involvement is sometimes detected during routine examination of intramucosal (pT1a) gastric cancer resected endoscopically. However, its clinical significance and association with the risk of metastasis remain unknown.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of 6797 consecutive patients with pT1a gastric cancers treated by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) at three institutions in Japan from January 2005 to August 2023.

Endoscopic resection has been applied as an absolute indication for early gastric cancer showing intramucosal cancer ≤ 2 cm in diameter, differentiated-type adenocarcinoma without ulcerative findings. We describe the case of a 76-year-old man who underwent radical gastrectomy for alpha-fetoprotein-producing gastric cancer, in which the depth of invasion was clinically diagnosed as T1a after lymph node metastases were detected. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a type 0-IIc tumor nearly 10 mm in diameter at the antrum.

Article Synopsis
- * The study involved 202 GC patients diagnosed after H. pylori eradication, separating them into those diagnosed within 10 years (S10AE) and those diagnosed after (L10AE), with findings showing longer surveillance intervals for L10AE cases and a higher prevalence of submucosal invasion.
- * A multivariate analysis suggested that being diagnosed with GC at L10AE significantly correlates with deeper tissue invasion (submucosal or deeper), indicating that follow-ups shouldn't be unnecessarily
Extremely rare mucinous adenocarcinoma of the small bowel causing bilateral metastatic Kukenberg tumors of the ovaries: A case report.

Rationale: Small bowel adenocarcinoma (SBA) is an extremely rare tumor that is not fully understood, SBA accounts for less than 5% of gastrointestinal cancers, Krukenberg tumors account for a lower proportion of all ovarian tumors, close to 2%. Stomach is the most common primary site of Krukenberg tumor. The phenomenon of bilateral ovarian Kukenberg tumor caused by implantation and metastasis of small bowel cancer is extremely rare, with few literature reports and limited clinical diagnosis and treatment data.
