A 60-year-old male was admitted for obstructive jaundice secondary to a 2 cm retroperitoneal lesion. Ultrasound endoscopy (UES) with fine needle biopsy (FNB) was performed, as well as endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with placement of a metal stent for bile duct drainage. Initially IgG4-related disease was suspected from FNB.

Background & Aims: Perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease (PCD) is a common and debilitating complication with elusive pathophysiology. We examined mucosal cells from patients with PCD and related conditions using a multi-omics approach.

Methods: We recruited patients with PCD (n = 24), CD without perianal disease (NPCD, n = 10), and idiopathic perianal fistulas (IPF, n = 29).

Cholecystoenteric fistula is a rare complication of cholelithiasis, occurring in 3%-5% of patients with cholelithiasis. The symptoms are typically minimal and vague, with either acute or subacute presentations, rarely leading to bowel obstruction, and occasionally manifesting as chronic abdominal pain. In this case, a male patient in his early 30s presented with epigastric and right hypochondrial pain.

Although the importance of pH and short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) on rumen development are well-known, their impact on the small and large intestine are unclear. This study investigated how single-dose ruminal infusions with high or low SCFA concentrations and high or low pH affect calves' productivity, as well as physiological parameters associated with hindgut acidosis at 3 time points in 49 d. Holstein bull calves (n = 32) were individually housed and fed milk replacer (900 g/d) twice daily and calf starter and water ad libitum.

Article Synopsis
  • Enteroatmospheric fistula (EAF) is a serious complication arising after abdominal surgery, characterized by an abnormal connection between the gastrointestinal tract and the atmosphere, which poses challenges like a high mortality rate and difficulties in managing intestinal content.
  • A case study describes a patient who experienced multiple EAFs following Hartmann reversal surgery, leading to several interventions, including resection of affected bowel segments and creation of an ileostomy.
  • There is no one-size-fits-all treatment for EAF, though spontaneous closure might occur in specific cases with minimal output and preserved intestinal continuity.
