Acute gastric dilatation leading to compromised vascular visceral vascular flow is an exceptionally rare complication typically described in patients with bulimia or anorexia following binge episodes. We present a fatal case involving a non-bulimic patient who experienced an acute gastric dilatation secondary to pyloric stenosis. Despite intensive treatment, the patient succumbed to complications arising from acute reperfusion syndrome. Managing such patients is highly challenging, and the prognosis is often poor, as supported by the limited reports available in the literature.

Introduction: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) complicated by thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) and non-cirrhotic portal hypertension (NCPH) is rare. We present a case of a female patient with SLE who developed TMA and NCPH and responded positively to rituximab and plasma exchange treatment.

Purpose: To compare the clinical and radiological features of gastric and small intestinal anisakiasis with those of gastric ulcers and Crohn's disease.
Materials And Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, 205 cases of anisakiasis (148 gastric; 53 small intestinal) were identified between July 2003 and February 2022. The control groups included 130 and 31 patients with gastric ulcers and Crohn's disease, respectively.

Efficacy of robot-assisted double-flap techniques with refinements to minimize anastomosis-related complications after proximal gastrectomy.
Surg Today

Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Hyogo Medical University, 1-1 Mukogawa, Nishinomiya, Hyogo, 663-8501, Japan.
Purpose: The double-flap technique (DFT) is an anti-reflux reconstruction procedure performed after proximal gastrectomy (PG), but its complexity and high incidence of anastomotic stenosis are problematic. We conducted this study to demonstrate the efficacy of robot-assisted DFT, with refinements, to address these issues.
Methods: Surgical outcomes were compared between the following procedures modified over time at our institution: conventional open DFT (group O, n = 16); early robotic DFT (group RE, n = 19), which follows the conventional open PG approach; and late robotic DFT (group RL, n = 21), which incorporates refinements to the early robotic DFT technique by exploiting more of the robotic capabilities available.
Prenatal diagnosis of midgut volvulus by fetal MRI: a retrospective study.

Department of Medical Imaging, Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University, Shijiazhuang, China.
Background: Fetal midgut volvulus is a rare disease, with a high risk of potentially life-threatening fetal complications.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyze the imaging findings of fetal midgut volvulus diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and explore its value in non-invasive prenatal diagnosis.
Methods: A retrospective collection of data from 156 fetuses suspected of intestinal obstruction by ultrasound examination in our hospital was conducted.
