AI Article Synopsis
- Intra-abdominal hemorrhage is a rare but serious complication that can occur after endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS), possibly leading to fatal outcomes.
- A case study highlights a patient who experienced severe abdominal pain 10 hours post-EUS, revealing bleeding from the left gastric artery through imaging tests.
- Fortunately, the bleeding stopped on its own without the need for intervention, emphasizing the importance of awareness among endoscopists regarding this potential risk.
Article Abstract
Intra-abdominal hemorrhage after endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is an uncommon complication, which can lead to potentially fatal outcomes. We describe a case of intra-abdominal hemorrhage due to left gastric arterial bleeding after EUS. The patient developed severe epigastric pain 10 h after diagnostic EUS for pancreatic cysts. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed extravasation from the left gastric artery as well as a hematoma in the lesser omentum, which was confirmed by emergent angiography. Spontaneous hemostasis was obtained without embolization and the patient did not have further episodes of intra-abdominal hemorrhage. Endoscopists should be aware of this rare but serious complication after endoscopic procedures.

Evaluation of the efficacy of natural orifice specimen extraction surgery versus conventional laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancers: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Colorectal Dis
January 2025
Department of Faculty Surgery No. 2, I. M. Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University (Sechenov University), Moscow, Russia.
Aim: Natural orifice specimen extraction surgery (NOSES) has gained significant importance in treating cancers. The current study is a meta-analysis that aimed to assess the short-term efficacy and long-term prognostic impact of NOSES and conventional laparoscopic (CL) surgery in the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC).
Method: Published reports in several medical databases up to February 2024 were searched and information pertinent to outcomes of NOSES and CL in retrospective and randomized studies to treat CRC was collected.
The abdomen does not lie, but the labs might: Predictors of intra-abdominal injury on computed tomography imaging in pediatric blunt trauma patients.
J Trauma Acute Care Surg
January 2025
From the Division of Trauma, Critical Care, Emergency Surgery, and Burns, Department of Surgery, College of Medicine, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona.
Introduction: Multiple studies have indicated that isolated abnormal laboratory results necessitate obtaining abdominal computed tomography (CT) for pediatric patients with blunt abdominal trauma (BAT), regardless of the normal abdominal examination. This study aims to identify the predictors of intra-abdominal injury (IAI) and the role of laboratory tests in CT imaging among pediatric BAT patients.
Methods: This is a retrospective review at a Level II pediatric trauma center (2018-2022).
Ultrasonography-guided aspiration and sclerotherapy for simple renal cysts in children: a comparative study with laparoscopic deroofing and optimization of therapeutic approaches.

Objective: To compare the clinical outcomes of ultrasonography-guided aspiration and sclerotherapy and laparoscopic deroofing for the treatment of simple renal cysts in children, providing evidence for clinical decision-making in the management of pediatric renal cysts.
Methods: A total of 49 patients with simple renal cysts were divided into two groups based on the treatment method: 29 patients (group 1) underwent laparoscopic deroofing, 20 patients (group 2) underwent ultrasonography-guided aspiration and sclerotherapy. The clinical efficacy differences between the two groups were compared.

Objective: To describe SMM events contributed by obstetric hemorrhage and their preventability in Maryland.
Early Diagnosis of Candidemia in the Intensive Care Unit by Clinical and Molecular Methods: A Prospective Observational Study.
Infect Dis Clin Microbiol
December 2024
Department of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology, İstanbul University-Cerrahpaşa, Cerrahpaşa School of Medicine, İstanbul, Türkiye.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to enhance early diagnosis of candidemia in ICU patients by identifying risk factors and developing a new scoring system, known as the Cerrahpaşa score.
- A retrospective analysis of 100 ICU patients revealed key risk factors such as sepsis and prolonged antibiotic use, while a prospective evaluation of 75 patients established a cutoff score of ≥4 points as indicative of increased candidemia risk.
- The research concluded that the Cerrahpaşa score, combined with a real-time PCR assay, could improve the early detection and management of candidemia in critically ill patients.
