Crohn's disease may affect any segment of the gastrointestinal tract; however, isolated duodenal involvement is rather rare. It still remains a complex clinical entity with a controversial management of the disease. Initially, patients with duodenal Crohn' s disease (DCD) are managed with a combination of antiacid and immunosuppressive therapy. However, medical treatment fails in the majority of DCD patients, and surgical intervention is required in case of complicated disease. Options for surgical management of complicated DCD include bypass, resection, or stricturoplasty procedures. In this paper, we reported a 33-year-old male patient, who was diagnosed with isolated duodenal Crohn's diseases, and reviewed the surgical options in the literature.

Are alarm symptoms of the Rome IV criteria enough to rule out organic pathology?
Pediatr Int

Department of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Gazi University Faculty of Medicine, Ankara, Turkey.
Background: The Rome IV criteria offer symptom-based recommendations for diagnosing functional gastrointestinal diseases (FGID) in children and adolescents without esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). The aim of this study is to evaluate the usefulness of Rome IV criteria for ruling out organic disease in patients with and without alarm symptoms.
Methods: Retrospective research was conducted on children and adolescents who had dyspepsia and underwent EGD.

The intestinal microbiota is increasingly recognized as a crucial player in the development and maintenance of various chronic conditions, including obesity and associated metabolic diseases. While most research focuses on the fecal microbiota due to its easier accessibility, the small intestine, as a major site for nutrient sensing and absorption, warrants further investigation to determine its microbiota composition and functions. Here, we conducted a clinical research project in 30 age- and sex-matched participants with ( = 15) and without ( = 15) obesity.

Strongyloides stercoralis is a parasite that has the ability to reproduce within humans, which explains its persistence for many years. It lives in the duodenum and ileum, between the enterocytes, and opens up to the intestinal lumen. Historically it is associated with tropical and subtropical rural areas, but its development has been seen in microclimates that favour the biological cycle.

Background: Surgery has recently been introduced into the multimodal management of patients with locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinomas (LAPCs) thanks to the major pathological response seen with the advent of the multiagent regimen FOLFIRINOX. Distal pancreatectomy with celiac axis resection (DP-CAR) may be complicated by ischemic liver and gastric events. Common hepatic artery reconstruction may prevent the occurrence of ischemic complications and can be an alternative to preoperative embolization of the celiac trunk.

Variants of the ACTG2 gene cause autosomal dominant ACTG2 visceral myopathy, a disorder of smooth muscle dysfunction of the bladder and gastrointestinal system. Bladder involvement can behave as fetal megacystis (FM). We report four prenatal cases of ACTG2 visceral myopathy.
