Objectives: Although delayed bleeding after endoscopic procedures has become a problem, currently, there are no appropriate animal models to validate methods for preventing it. This study aimed to establish an animal model of delayed bleeding after endoscopic procedures of the gastrointestinal tract.
Methods: Activated coagulation time (ACT) was measured using blood samples drawn from a catheter inserted into the external jugular vein of swine ( = 7; age, 6 months; mean weight, 13.8 kg) under general anesthesia using the cut-down method. An upper gastrointestinal endoscope was inserted orally, and 12 mucosal defects were created in the stomach by endoscopic mucosal resection using a ligating device. Hemostasis was confirmed at this time point. The heparin group ( = 4) received 50 units/kg of unfractionated heparin via a catheter; after confirming that the ACT was ≥200 s 10 min later, continuous heparin administration (50 units/kg/h) was started. After 24 h, an endoscope was inserted under general anesthesia to evaluate the blood volume in the stomach and the degree of blood adherence at the site of the mucosal defect.
Results: Delayed bleeding was observed in three swine (75%) in the heparin-treated group, who had a maximum ACT of >220 s before the start of continuous heparin administration. In the non-treated group ( = 3), no prolonged ACT or delayed bleeding was observed at 24 h.
Conclusion: An animal model of delayed bleeding after an endoscopic procedure in the gastrointestinal tract was established using a single dose of heparin and continuous heparin administration after confirming an ACT of 220 s.

: Endoscopic resection with lift polypectomy using submucosal injection (SI) for large non-pedunculated colorectal polyps is recommended to facilitate complete mucosal resection and decrease the risk of perforation; however, there are no studies comparing the safety and efficacy of large polypectomies with and without lift polypectomy. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of the polypectomy technique without SI compared to the routine use of SI. : We performed a single tertiary center retrospective study evaluating all consecutive large non-pedunculated colorectal polyps (≥20 mm) referred to expert endoscopists in polypectomy from 2018 through 2021.

Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is a serious condition complicated by delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI), where inflammation plays a key role. Although altered gut permeability is noted in other conditions, its significance in aSAH remains unclear. Fatty acid-binding protein (FABP-I), lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP), and soluble CD-14 (sCD-14) are established markers of barrier dysfunction.

Trauma, particularly uncontrolled bleeding, is a major cause of death. Recent evidence-based guidelines recommend the use of a tourniquet when life-threating limb bleeding cannot be controlled with direct pressure. Prehospital hemorrhage management, according to the XABCDE protocol, emphasizes the critical role of tourniquets in controlling massive bleeding.

Transmembrane proteins (TMEMs) are embedded in cell membranes and often have poorly understood functions. Our RNAseq analysis identified 89 tmem genes in zebrafish thrombocytes, leading to further investigation through knockdown experiments and gill bleeding assays. Knockdown of tmem242 significantly increased bleeding, indicating a role in hemostasis.

Background: Faecal Immunochemical Testing (FIT) is now core to the management of patients presenting in primary care with symptoms of possible colorectal cancer. Patients with a positive FIT (≥10μg Hb/g faeces) qualify for an urgent suspected cancer referral. FIT negative patients are typically managed in primary care or referred through routine pathways.
