We report the first case of diffuse gastric cancer in an individual with familial blepharocheilodontic syndrome (BCD) due to a germline CDH1 likely pathogenic variant. To date, other BCD affected relatives are nonpenetrant for diffuse gastric cancer posing challenges to counseling regarding gastric and breast cancer surveillance, and preventative total gastrectomy.

Background And Study Aims: Diffuse infiltrative gastric cancer can be difficult to diagnose owing to a lack of endoscopic features in the superficial mucosa. Moreover, a forceps biopsy may not reveal a pathological diagnosis. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic yield and safety of endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and 'open-lid submucosal biopsy', a technique wherein EMR followed by biopsy of the ulcer floor is performed for a pathological diagnosis.

A pea protein isolate (PPI)-hyaluronic acid (HA) nanocarrier delivery system was created for quercetin (Que) encapsulation using the pH conversion strategy. The self-assembly of the PPI-HA binary nanocomplex (HPP) were mainly driven by electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions. Que was successfully encapsulated in HPP nanocomposites (Que@HPP), which exhibited preferable redispersibility, and encapsulation efficiency (87.

Phlegmonous gastritis is a rare, suppurative bacterial infection of the gastric wall and one of the rarest complications after upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. The pathogenesis is not fully clear, but multiple risk factors have been described in literature as mucosal injury and achlorhydria. We report a case of a 76-year-old male with vomiting and epigastric pain, two days after an upper endoscopy, who presented in septic shock.

Bethanechol chloride (BTC), a quaternary ammonium compound used in bladder dysfunction treatment, requires challenges in developing optimal oral dosage forms due to its high water-solubility, short half-life, rapid elimination and four times a day administration. The aim of this study was to develop optimal BTC-loaded oral dosage forms that could provide both rapid onset and sustained therapeutic effects while reducing the frequency of conventional four-times-daily dosing (Mytonin® tablets). Four different BTC-loaded oral dosage forms were designed including gastro-retentive tablet (GRT), controlled-release tablet (CRT), bilayer tablet (BLT), and tablet-in-tablet (TIT).
