A 43-year-old female presented to our department with hemoglobin of 3.4 g/dl. She denied gastrointestinal bleeding or weight loss. An upper endoscopy revealed an ulcerative lesion on the greater curvature of the gastric body with two visible clots. Two hemoclips were needed to attain hemostasis, as one of the biopsies of the tumor caused active spurting bleeding. An abdominal computed tomography (CT) demonstrated a well-circumscribed intramural mass arising in the gastric wall, measuring 65 x 50 x 90 mm, with marked internal vascularity and extraluminal component associated. The biopsies identified areas of mature and immature plasmocytes.

Machine learning prediction of hepatic encephalopathy for long-term survival after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt in acute variceal bleeding.

Background: Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is an effective intervention for managing complications of portal hypertension, particularly acute variceal bleeding (AVB). While effective in reducing portal pressure and preventing rebleeding, TIPS is associated with a considerable risk of overt hepatic encephalopathy (OHE), a complication that significantly elevates mortality rates.
Aim: To develop a machine learning (ML) model to predict OHE occurrence post-TIPS in patients with AVB using a 5-year dataset.

The challenge of effectively eliminating air during gastrointestinal endoscopy using ultrasound techniques is apparent. This difficulty arises from the intricacies of removing concealed air within the folds of the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in artifacts and compromised visualization. In addition, the overlap of folds with lesions can obscure their depth and size, presenting challenges for an accurate assessment.
