Acute gastrointestinal hemorrhage is frequently seen in emergency surgical conditions. Benign pathologies are generally responsible in etiologic factors. Our case is a GANT. GANT is a mesenchymal tumor originated from Cajal cells or precursors of them. Cajal cells are pacemaker cells in the intestinal wall. Because GANT is a very rare tumor, we would like to report our case to the medical literature. We think very rare cases and treatments of its as like our case create view point states in etiology of acute gastrointestinal hemorrhage.

Aim: To compare the effectiveness of auriculotherapy in managing nausea and vomiting caused by platinum-based chemotherapy METHODS: 96 patients with gastrointestinal cancer undergoing platinum chemotherapy were randomly divided into three groups, with 32 patients in each group. The control group received conventional treatment, including 5-hydroxytryptamine 3 receptor antagonist and routine nursing care; the remaining two groups received additional auricular point sticking or ear scraping. The outcomes measured included the incidence and frequency of acute and delayed nausea and vomiting, severity of nausea, appetite, and quality of life function index 24 h and 5 d post chemotherapy.

Limosilactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 (L. reuteri DSM 17938) was one of the most widely used probiotics in humans for gastrointestinal disorders, but few studies have investigated its role in drug-induced liver injury (DILI). Here, we evaluated the efficacy of L.

Background/purpose: Early detection of severe dengue (SD) and appropriate management are crucial in reducing the case fatality rate. The objective of this study was to investigate the clinical characteristics of SD and identify independent risk factors associated with mortality among SD patients.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted at two medical center hospitals between 2002 and 2019, involving patients aged ≧18 years with laboratory-confirmed SD.

Donor-specific antibodies (DSAs) are essential causes of graft rejection in haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT). DSAs are unavoidable for some patients who have no alternative donor. Effective interventions to reduce DSAs are still needed, and the cost of the current therapies is relatively high.

Objective: We aimed to explore the application value of unsupervised machine learning in identifying acute gastrointestinal injury (AGI) after extracorporeal circulation for acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD).
Methods: Patients who underwent extracorporeal circulation for ATAAD at the First Hospital of Lanzhou University from January 2016 to January 2021 were included. Unsupervised machine learning algorithm was used to stratify patients into different phenogroups according to the similarity of their clinical features and laboratory test results.
