Article Abstract

Intramural duodenal haematoma is a rare injury of the duodenum. Most reported cases are secondary to blunt trauma to the abdomen. Such injury following endoscopic intervention is even rarer, and there are no definite guidelines for its management. We report a case where endoscopic haemostasis of a bleeding duodenal ulcer resulted in a massive dissecting intramural duodenal haematoma with gastric outlet obstruction and obstructive jaundice.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to evaluate the detection frequency and anatomy of the duodenal papillae and related structures in cats, using ultrasound on 50 cats.
  • - The major duodenal papilla was detected in all cases, while the minor one appeared in 10%. Key dimensions of the anatomical structures were measured in clinically healthy cats.
  • - Findings suggest that ultrasound exams of duodenal papillae are straightforward and can be an essential part of diagnosing conditions in feline patients.

  • Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most prevalent type of sarcoma in humans, predominantly occurring in the stomach or small intestine, with over 5000 new cases diagnosed annually in the USA.
  • A study investigated the presence of bacteria within GISTs by analyzing 25 tumor samples from 24 patients using advanced genetic sequencing techniques.
  • Results showed that most samples had negligible bacterial presence, while two samples indicated normal intestinal bacteria, but only in tumors where the mucosal lining was disrupted.
