Pseudoaneurysms are a commonly encountered pathology, though pseudoaneurysms of the visceral arteries are a less frequent, but potentially deadly entity. Transarterial embolization is the typical treatment of visceral pseudoaneurysms, but success is dependent on anatomy that is conducive to selecting the supplying vessel. Abdominal ultrasound is a viable method to effectively treat visceral pseudoaneurysms when transarterial embolization is not possible. It is also an excellent example of the growing utilization of ultrasound guidance in various interventional radiologic procedures. The usefulness of ultrasound is demonstrated in this case report, where a left gastric artery pseudoaneurysm was embolized through ultrasound guidance.

Abnormal fistulization is a rare complication of Nissen fundoplication. A high index of suspicion and timely diagnosis are key factors to guide appropriate management. We describe a 70-year-old woman with a remote history of Collis gastroplasty and Nissen fundoplication presenting with chest pain and a pericardial effusion.

Background: Special attention should be given to intra-abdominal adhesions in patients with a history of open cholecystectomy for gallstones or abdominal surgery. Choosing the appropriate surgical approach to remove the stones is crucial.
Patient Summary: A 68-year-old male was admitted due to sudden onset of upper abdominal pain lasting more than 6 h.

Article Synopsis
- Guidelines suggest that patients with high-risk gastric intestinal metaplasia should have endoscopic surveillance for gastric cancer every three years.
- This study explored the effectiveness of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in completely eliminating high-risk gastric intestinal metaplasia.
- Results showed that RFA led to a significantly higher complete resolution rate of GIM lesions compared to a group receiving only observation, particularly in those with incomplete GIM.

Background And Aims: Small gastric subepithelial tumors (SETs) in the stomach can be managed through surveillance or resection. However, it is still controversial how often the lesion would progress if left untreated. This study aimed to evaluate the progression rate of small SETs and identify risk factors influencing tumor growth.

A large number of by-products generated in the food industry is discarded as waste, especially the residue left after extracting plant resources, which is typically repurposed as fertilizer. In this study, we extracted and purified a new protein, DOP1, from the residue of Dendrobium officinale Kimura & Migo (D. officinale), and explored the protective effect of DOP1 on alcohol-induced gastric mucosal injury.
