We report a case of open surgical hemostasis following transarterial embolization (TAE) that failed to stabilize the hemodynamics for renal injury after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). A 48-year-old man presented with severe left renal colic pain 1 day after ESWL for a left renal stone. Computed tomography revealed arterial bleeding from the lower pole of the left kidney and retroperitoneal hematoma. TAE was successfully performed for the lower poler bleeding. However, we were unable to complete the procedure for bleeding from an aberrant artery to the lower pole of the kidney that was supplied directly from the aorta. Therefore, an emergency laparotomy was performed and the injury in the aberrant artery was manually ligated. Hemostasis was obtained after the direct surgical ligation and he had a good postoperative recovery. Open surgical hemostasis is a treatment modality that should be considered following TAE that fails to control arterial bleeding after ESWL.

: Spontaneous chest wall hematomas are rare but potentially life-threatening complications, particularly in patients with multiple comorbidities such as those undergoing hemodialysis. This case report aims to highlight the significance of early diagnosis and appropriate management in preventing complications associated with this condition. : We report the case of a 79-year-old man with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis, presenting with a large spontaneous hematoma (18.

Background: Fecal lipocalin-2 (LCN2) is a biomarker of neutrophil activation, which is elevated in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD); however, its dynamic changes during pregnancy and early life are largely unknown. We characterized LCN2 levels by maternal IBD diagnosis, offspring feeding behavior, and gut microbiota composition.
Methods: In the prospective MECONIUM (Exploring Mechanisms of Disease Transmission In Utero through the Microbiome) study, we analyzed 559 fecal samples from 91 pregnant women with IBD, 78 healthy controls, and their 147 offspring for LCN2 levels at each trimester of pregnancy and multiple time points during early life using linear mixed-effects model and multiple logistic regression analyses.

Objective: Emicizumab promotes efficacious hemostasis in persons with hemophilia A persons with hemophilia A with and without inhibitors. Primary analyses of real-world data and clinical trials have shown emicizumab efficacy and safety; however, long-term data are limited.
Methods: This retrospective study was conducted to assess real-world long-term outcomes of pediatric patients on emicizumab in our hemophilia center between the period of February 2018 and September 2023.

Background: Endoscopic therapy is the primary approach for treating Mallory-Weiss syndrome, particularly under conditions of mucosal protection and gastric acid suppression. However, for a subset of patients who cannot undergo endoscopic intervention or for whom such treatment proves ineffective, alternative measures like arterial embolization or surgical intervention may be required. While hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been applied across a range of medical conditions, its application in managing hemorrhage due to gastric tears remains undocumented.

Although osteosarcomas are the most frequent primary malignant bone tumors, the primary cranial manifestation of this condition is very rare with only a limited number of cases presented in the literature. We present the case of a 20-year-old male patient who underwent single-session surgical intervention for resection of right frontal osteosarcoma with a tailor-made craniotomy and cranioplasty using virtually designed 3D-printed templates and molds. Subsequently, the patient was treated according to the EURAMOS protocol and received adjuvant systemic chemotherapy.
