Endoscopic Management of Benign Pancreaticobiliary Disorders.

J Clin Med

January 2025

Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Center for Digestive Health, Virginia Mason, Franciscan Health, Seattle, WA 98101, USA.

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.

Intra-mesenteric steroids for steroid-refractory graft-versus-host disease in pediatric patients: A safe option.

December 2024

Servicio de Cardiología Pediátrica, Departamento Materno-Infantil, Fundación Valle del Lili, Cali, Colombia; Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud, Universidad Icesi, Cali, Colombia.

Introduction: Graft-versus-host disease is a serious complication after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and is a major cause of death post-transplantation. Approximately 50% of acute graft-versus-host disease patients do not respond to systemic steroids and their prognosis is poor regardless of the treatment. This study describes our experience with pediatric patients diagnosed with steroid-refractory graft-versus-host disease who received intra-mesenteric steroid treatment.

[Celiac disease: an update].

Celiac disease is one of the most common lifelong autoimmune disorders and is currently understood as a genetically determined immune intolerance to gluten. In genetically predisposed individuals, the consumption of gluten, along with additional environmental factors, triggers an immunological reaction in the small intestinal epithelium, leading to the destruction of the mucosal architecture with villous atrophy. This can be asymptomatic, but may also cause a wide range of symptoms and lead to systemic complications, such as osteoporosis or infertility.

Functional Radiosurgery in the Management of Cancer Pain: A Comprehensive Review.

Hematol Oncol Clin North Am

January 2025

Department of Radiation Oncology, University of Miami, Miami, OH, USA.

Functional radiosurgery is a minimally invasive and highly precise approach to managing refractory cancer pain, offering targeted interventions for both nociceptive and neuropathic pain mechanisms. By focusing on key neuroanatomical targets, such as the thalamus, cingulate cortex, pituitary gland, celiac plexus, and dorsal root ganglia, functional radiosurgery provides effective relief for complex pain syndromes that are often unresponsive to conventional therapies. Advances in imaging and treatment delivery have enhanced the safety and efficacy of these techniques, allowing clinicians to tailor interventions to individual patients.
