The paper presents the results of a study of the significance of IgE in the diagnosis of echinococciasis. Preoperative examinations of patients with showed the increased serum concentrations of IgE. The decreased concentration of IgE was recorded on postoperative day 20. Enzyme immunoassay used to measure serum IgE concentrations is a sensitive technique for the diagnosis of hepatic echinococciasis and for the prognosis of allergic reactions and diseases.

Ulcerative colitis can present with extra-intestinal manifestations, including interstitial lung disease and primary sclerosing cholangitis. When pulmonary symptoms precede gastrointestinal, diagnosis can be challenging. Consideration of Ulcerative colitis in patients with unexplained lung and hepatic pathology is crucial, as a failure of timely intervention can lead to multiorgan complications.

Background: A right adrenal gland may present in the form of adreno-hepatic fusion (AHF), in which the adrenal cells are interspersed among the hepatocytes without septation. This rare, naturally-occurring phenomenon may be associated with preoperative misdiagnosis. We present two cases of adrenal tumor in patients with AHF that were misdiagnosed, despite thorough preoperative work-ups.

Bosutinib is a second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) approved for use in patients with newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-positive chronic phase (CP) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), as well as Ph-positive CP, accelerated phase, or blast phase (with chemotherapy) CML resistant or intolerant to prior therapy. Clinical trials have shown bosutinib is effective as first-line therapy for patients with CML as well as in later lines of therapy after prior TKI failure. Bosutinib has an established safety profile; however, as with all TKIs approved for the treatment of CML, there are adverse events (AEs) that require management.

Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is traditionally associated with hepatic parenchymal diseases, such as acute liver failure and cirrhosis. Its prevalence in non-cirrhotic portal hypertension (NCPH) patients, extrahepatic portal vein obstruction (EHPVO), and non-cirrhotic portal fibrosis (NCPF) is less well described. HE in NCPH allows one to study the effect of portosystemic shunting and ammonia without significant hepatic parenchymal injury.
