Pseudoaneurysms, or false aneurysms, result from an arterial wall tear and can arise from trauma, infection, or inflammation. Common types include aortic, cardiac, and femoral pseudoaneurysms, while left gastric artery pseudoaneurysms (LGAP) are rare visceral occurrences, with only a handful of documented cases. LGAPs are often associated with recurrent pancreatitis and require prompt recognition and treatment due to their high risk of rapid bleeding and fatal outcomes if left untreated. We present a case of a hemodynamically unstable patient with a significant clot burden, successfully managed with a novel approach that revealed an LGAP with a penetrating gastric ulcer at the pseudoaneurysm site.

Objective: Putative associations between certain bacteria and gastric cancer have been described previously; however, the mechanisms underlying such associations are not thoroughly understood. We aimed to confirm the presence of Fusobacterium nucleatum in the biopsy samples of patients with gastroduodenal diseases, including gastric cancer, with concomitant or without Helicobacter pylori infection.

Results: Three hundred patients with gastroduodenal disorders, including gastritis, duodenal ulcer, or gastric cancer, were included.

Gastric ulcer (GU) is a disease characterized by ulcerative lesions on the surface of the stomach mucosa caused mainly by health-related conditions, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) use, and Helicobacter pylori infections. The treatment for this disease requires that the drug remains in contact with the site of action, however, the residence time of conventional dosage forms in this organ is limited due to gastric emptying. Curcumin (CUR) is a compound obtained from the rhizomes of the Curcuma longa plant and has been used in traditional Indian medicine for many centuries.

Peptic ulcer is a prevalent gastrointestinal illness. The aim is to investigate the possible implication of cyclooxygenase (COX)-1/2 and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) signaling pathways in apigenin therapeutic effect on acetic acid-induced chronic gastric ulcer maintained with indomethacin. Rats were divided into 5 groups (n = 10): control, ulcer, omeprazole+ulcer, apigenin+ulcer, and apigenin only groups.

Introduction: Observational studies have shown that gallstone disease (GSD), cholecystitis, cholangitis, polyp of gallbladder, viral hepatitis, pancreatitis and gastrointestinal (GI) traits such as H. pylori infection, inflammatory bowel disease, and digestive ulcer are associated with the risk of biliary tract cancer (BTC). However, no study has explored their causal associations.
