BACKGROUND Hepatic lesion in a young woman can lead to multiple diagnostic hypotheses, mainly infection and tumor. Crohn's disease (CD) is hardly evoked by clinicians but is reportedly associated with liver damage, especially diffuse granulomas and aseptic abscess. IgA deficiency has been associated with celiac disease or inflammatory bowel disease, including CD.

Background: Liuweizhiji Gegen-Sangshen oral liquid (LGS), as a Chinese medicinal preparation, is developed from a Traditional Chinese medicinal formula consisting of six Chinese medicinal herbs, including Puerariae lobatae radix, Hoveniae semen, Imperatae rhizoma, Crataegi fructus, Mori fructus and Canarli fructus, and has been extensively utilized in the prevention and treatment of alcoholic liver disease (ALD) clinically. Previous study has demonstrated that LGS dose-dependently mitigated ALD in rat models. However, whether and how the main characteristic constituents of LGS (the flavonoid and polysaccharide fractions, LGSF and LGSP) contribute to the anti-ALD effect remains unclear.

Background: Laparoscopic parenchyma-sparing hepatectomy (PSH) is an effective treatment for colorectal liver metastases (CRLMs), but ensuring the safety and radicality of the procedure, particularly for deep-seated tumors, remains challenging. Surgical navigation technologies such as augmented reality navigation (ARN) and indocyanine green fluorescence imaging (ICG-FI) are increasingly utilized to guide surgery, yet their efficacy for CRLMs is unclear. This study aims to evaluate the short- and long-term outcomes of ARN combined with ICG-FI-guided (ARN-FI) laparoscopic PSH for CRLMs.

Sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (SMX/TMP) is a commonly used antimicrobial agent for treating common bacterial infections such as urinary tract infection (UTI), combined with doxycycline for community-acquired methicillin-resistant (MRSA), and invaluable in pneumonia (PJP), previously classified as . Of its known adverse reactions, hepatotoxicity rarely comes to mind, but indeed, it is a recognized but very rare adverse reaction that may lead to liver failure in adults and even rarer in children. We present a case of hepatotoxicity in a 43-year-old male patient on no prior medication who developed jaundice and highly elevated liver enzymes one week after the administration of Bactrim for the treatment of UTI in association with prostatism, symptoms of decreased urinary force due to obstruction of flow through the prostate gland.
