This study compared the recurrence rate of gastrojejunal (GJ) tube-related intussusceptions managed with temporary tube removal for "bowel rest" versus immediate tube exchange. The secondary aim was to compare the time to recurrence between the two management groups. A total of 92 episodes in 56 pediatric patients were analyzed, with demographics, tube characteristics, and interventions recorded. Recurrence rates were compared using the Chi-squared test, and time to recurrence was analyzed with the Kaplan-Meier method. The median age was 23 months (range 2-184 months), the median weight was 10.9kg (range 3-36 kg), and 51.1% of episodes occurred in females. Fifty three percent of recurrences occurred in the bowel rest group, and 47% in the immediate reinsertion group. No statistically significant difference was found in the recurrence rates (p=1.000) or time to recurrence (p=0.364). The findings indicate that immediate tube exchange may be an effective management strategy in clinically stable patients.

Background: Clostridium innocuum is a vancomycin-resistant pathobiome associated with poor clinical outcomes in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In ulcerative colitis (UC), it correlates with reduced remission rates, while in Crohn's disease (CD), it is linked to creeping fat formation and intestinal strictures. Notably, some patients experience refractory or recurrent C.

Ki67 as a proliferation marker plays a critical role in assessing cellular activity in various pathological tissues, including cystic lesions. Odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) and radicular cysts (RCs) are two common types of jaw cysts that exhibit distinct biological behaviors, particularly in their proliferative patterns. OKCs are known for their aggressive nature and high recurrence rate, while RCs are typically less aggressive and exhibit lower recurrence risk.

Background: Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) and Dravet syndrome (DS) are rare and debilitating forms of epilepsy, characterised by recurrent, severe, drug-resistant seizures and neurodevelopmental impairments. A non-euphoric, plant-derived, highly purified formulation of cannabidiol (CBD; Epidyolex®, 100 mg/mL oral solution) is approved in the European Union and United Kingdom for use in patients aged ≥2 years for the adjunctive treatment of seizures associated with LGS or DS in conjunction with clobazam (CLB), and for the adjunctive treatment of seizures associated with tuberous sclerosis complex in patients aged ≥2 years.
Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review of patients with treatment-resistant epilepsies who were treated with adjunctive CBD at six epilepsy centres in Germany.

Background: The infiltration of lateral lymph nodes (LLN) plays a crucial role in the staging and treatment of individuals with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). This meta-analysis aimed to compare the efficacy of extended mesorectal excision (eTME) versus traditional mesorectal excision (TME-alone) in patients with clinically enlarged (LLN) concomitant neoadjuvant chemoradiation.
Methods: This study is registered with PROSPERO (CRD42023457805).
