Duodenal polyps are rare lesions in patients undergoing Esophago-gastro-duodenoscopy (EGD), and the prevalence varies widely with range of 0.3-4.6% of cases. Duodenal adenomas most commonly occur in association with familial adenomatous polyposis. Isolated occurrence of such adenomas is very rare and presentation as upper gastrointestinal (GI) haemorrhage is even rarer. We herein report a case of elderly male patient presenting to emergency department with features of upper GI bleeding. Patient was resuscitated followed by EGD was done. On EGD bleeding duodenal polyp was found and endoscopic polypectomy was done to control the bleeding. Subsequent colonoscopy was done and was normal. The histopathological examination of the polypectomy specimen revealed tubular adenomatous polyp which is a premalignant condition. We also highlight the clinical presentation, histological types and treatment modalities available in the literature. However, there is lack of consensus regarding the outcome of various procedure described in the literature.

Background: Prepancreatic postduodenal portal vein (PPPV) is a rare anatomic variant where the portal vein (PV) runs anterior to the pancreas and posterior to the duodenum. Only 20 cases of PPPV, all in adults, have been reported in literature. We report the first case of PPPV in a pediatric patient discovered intraoperatively during total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation (TPIAT) and the third known case in which the PPPV could be isolated intraoperatively.

Introduction: Although abdominal organ damage due to motor vehicle accident is often evident immediately after the injury and urgent operation is performed, it has been reported that minor injuries such as hollow viscus may become apparent during the course of treatment and require urgent surgery.
Case Report: The Authors present the case of a 42-year-old female who developed peritonitis immediately after undergoing surgery for thoracolumbar fracture-dislocation caused by a traffic accident. The patient exhibited no abdominal symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, or abdominal wall rigidity, and had no difficulty with oral intake preoperatively.

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.
