Jejunal volvules are a very rare condition, barely reported in the literature, that occur in relation to congenital (eg, intestinal duplication) or acquired disorders (eg, diaphragmatic hernias or tumors). In the event that it becomes complicated with an established intestinal ischemia, its prognosis is further overshadowed by the possible consequences of a complex surgery, given the high risk of short bowel syndrome. Being a PEG probe carrier does not seem to be related to the picture.

Mesenchymal stromal cell-derived extracellular vesicles as nanotherapeutics for concanavalin a-induced hepatitis: modulating the gut‒liver axis.
Stem Cell Res Ther
January 2025
Biotherapy Centre, The Third Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangzhou, 510630, P.R. China.
Background: As cell-free nanotherapeutics, extracellular vesicles derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSC-EVs) have shown potential therapeutic action against liver diseases. However, their effects on autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) are not yet well understood.
Methods And Results: In this study, we utilized a well-established concanavalin A (Con A)-induced fulminant hepatitis mouse model to investigate the effects of MSC-EVs on AIH.

Amoebic colitis, a parasitic infection caused by , can lead to severe gastrointestinal symptoms. The clinical manifestations can vary widely, from being an asymptomatic carrier to experiencing severe colitis and even colonic perforation. Surgical treatment for fulminant amoebic colitis and colonic perforation should be carried out at the earliest.

Article Synopsis
- Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) includes two main types: ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), characterized by genetic factors, gut bacteria imbalances, and immune system issues.
- Complications of IBD can include serious problems like strictures and an increased risk of colon cancer, along with common symptoms such as abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, and diarrhea.
- Treatment options range from conventional methods like aminosalicylates to advanced biologics and monoclonal antibodies, which target specific inflammatory pathways to improve patient outcomes and reduce complications.
Mechanical support for the treatment of fulminant myocarditis combined with cardiac arrest and MODS in children: A case report and review.

Department of Cardiac Surgical Intensive Care Unit, Yantai Yuhuangding Hosptial, Qingdao University Affiliated Hospital, No. 20 of Yuhuangding East Road, Yantai, Shandong, 264000, China.
A 13 years and 1 month old child was admitted to the hospital with fulminant myocarditis. After admission, the child's condition deteriorated rapidly, with a rapid drop in blood pressure, alternating malignant arrhythmias, such as ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation, and then developed rapid cardiac arrest, which lasted for 62 min. Moreover, the child developed multiple organ failure (heart, kidney, brain, lungs, liver, gastrointestinal tract, and inflammatory system) with internal environmental disturbances, indicating critical conditions.

Background: Aortoesophageal fistula (AEF) is a rare cause of upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Despite diagnostic and therapeutic advances, the mortality rate in AEF patients remains high because of its fulminant course, even with maximal intensive care. Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is a resuscitation technique to control life-threatening bleeding.
