Objective: The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical and radiographic findings in a series of patients with nonanastomotic strictures after colonic interposition.
Conclusion: Nonanastomotic strictures usually appear on upper gastrointestinal tract radiography as relatively long segments of smooth, tapered narrowing involving the interposed colon, most likely resulting from chronic ischemia. Unlike strictures at the esophagocolic or cologastric anastomosis, these long nonanastomotic strictures generally have a poor response to endoscopic dilatation procedures and are more likely to necessitate surgical revision of the colonic interposition.

Endoscopic Management of Benign Pancreaticobiliary Disorders.

Endoscopic management of benign pancreaticobiliary disorders encompasses a range of procedures designed to address complications in gallstone disease, choledocholithiasis, and pancreatic disorders. Acute cholecystitis is typically treated with cholecystectomy or percutaneous drainage (PT-GBD), but for high-risk or future surgical candidates, alternative decompression methods, such as endoscopic transpapillary gallbladder drainage (ETP-GBD), and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD), are effective. PT-GBD is associated with significant discomfort as well as variable adverse event rates.

Background: Donor livers from older donation after circulatory death (DCD) donors are frequently discarded for transplantation because of the high risk of graft failure. It is unknown whether DCD livers from older donors benefit from dynamic preservation.
Methods: In a multicenter study, we retrospectively compared graft and patient outcomes after transplantation of livers from DCD donors older than 60 y, preserved with either static cold storage (SCS), ex situ sequential dual hypothermic perfusion, controlled oxygenated rewarming, and normothermic perfusion (DHOPE-COR-NMP), or in situ abdominal normothermic regional perfusion (aNRP).
Hypothermic Oxygenated machine PErfusion for high-risk liver grafts for transplantation: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Hypothermic Oxygenated machine PErfusion (HOPE) can reduce ischemic reperfusion injury and improve outcomes for liver transplant recipients. However, the effect of HOPE on high-risk extended criteria donor (ECD) and donation after circulatory death determination (DCDD) grafts is incomplete, despite the expectation that this cohort benefit maximally from HOPE. Accordingly, this paper aims to characterize the effect of HOPE on ECD and DCDD grafts.

Article Synopsis
- Scientists are studying how to tell if a donated liver is healthy enough to use for transplant by looking at special markers during a process called HOPE.
- They collected samples from livers in 10 different centers across 7 countries and found that the levels of a marker called FMN can help predict if the liver will work well after being transplanted.
- The study showed that FMN is better at predicting liver problems compared to older methods, making it a promising tool for doctors to decide which livers are suitable for transplant.
