To investigate the risk factors and construct a nomogram model for predicting the occurrence of cirrhotic portal vein thrombosis in patients combined with esophagogastric variceal bleeding (EVB). Clinical data on 416 cirrhotic PVT cases was collected from the First Hospital of Lanzhou University between January 2016 and January 2022. A total of 385 cases were included after excluding 31 cases for retrospective analysis.

Aortic mycotic aneurysms are a rare but life-threatening condition and may be associated with aorto-bronchial- and aorto-esophageal fistulas. Although both very rare, they carry a high mortality and require (urgent) surgical intervention. Surviving all three conditions concomitantly is extraordinary.

Flash pulmonary edema (2 % of FPE cases) is observed in 25 % of cases of acute mitral insufficiency. This clinical disorder is often mistaken for infectious pneumonitis and treated as such, with as consequence an increased mortality of these patients. The diagnosis of acute mitral insufficiency is therefore essential for the optimal management of these patients.

To analyze the occurrence of recompensation conditions in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus-related decompensated cirrhosis after entecavir antiviral therapy. Patients with hepatitis B virus-related decompensated cirrhosis with ascites as the initial manifestation were prospectively enrolled. Patients who received entecavir treatment for 120 weeks and were followed up every 24 weeks (including clinical endpoint events, hematological and imaging indicators, and others) were calculated for recompensation rates according to the Baveno VII criteria.

Background: Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is a commonly used tool for preoperative depth diagnosis of superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Probing EUS using the water-filled balloon method is a simple and safe examination.
Aim: The aim of this study was to clarify the diagnostic performance of EUS with the water-filled balloon method for superficial ESCC compared to magnifying narrow-band imaging (ME-NBI).

Background/aims: The aim was to investigate the safety and prognosis of transjugular intrahepatic portal shunt in patients with mildly prolonged prothrombin time.
Materials And Methods: Two hundred fifty-three patients with portal hypertension who received transjugular intrahepatic portal shunt from November 2015 to May 2021 in Wuhan Union Hospital were retrospectively selected. According to the preoperative prothrombin time, they were divided into 2 groups: 126 patients in the non-clinical significance group (prothrombin time prolongation <3 seconds) and 127 patients in the clinical significance group (3 seconds ≤ prothrombin time prolongation <6 seconds).

species has been associated with infections in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised hosts, manifesting as peritonitis, bacteremia, catheter-related bacteremia, endophthalmitis, spondylitis, and endocarditis. Here we present a man in his 60s who was brought to our institution for sudden onset of aphasia, right-sided paresthesia, and new onset tonic-clonic seizure episodes. At presentation, he was found to have severe lactic acidosis, acute kidney failure, bilateral hydronephrosis, elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA), and an enlarged prostate.

Type 1 leprosy reactions (T1LRs) occur mainly in patients with borderline leprosy and an unstable immune status. The main symptoms of T1LRs include aggravated skin lesions and nerve damage. Nerve damage involving the glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves causes dysfunction of the nose, pharynx, larynx, and even the esophagus, which are innervated by these nerves.

Background: Increasing evidence indicates that the tumor microenvironment (TME) is a crucial determinant of cancer progression. However, the clinical and pathobiological significance of stromal signatures in the TME, as a complex dynamic entity, is still unclear in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).
Methods: Herein, we used single-cell transcriptome sequencing data, imaging mass cytometry (IMC) and multiplex immunofluorescence staining to characterize the stromal signatures in ESCC and evaluate their prognostic values in this aggressive disease.

Pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) commonly occurs in the right liver lobe, causing the typical symptoms of fever and right upper quadrant pain. Less than one-third of cases occur in the left lobe. We describe an unusual presentation of a giant left-sided PLA that was compressing the stomach and surrounding venous vasculature, causing the respective symptoms of gastro-oesophageal reflux and vaginal discharge from secondary pelvic congestion syndrome.

Cullen´s sign and Grey Turner sign are, respectively, the cutaneous ecchymoses located in periumbilical region and tissues flanks along the lower portion of the abdomen. Both have been observed in <1% of individuals with acute pancreatitis, suggesting poor prognosis in terms of gravity and mortality. However, these signs are not exclusive for acute pancreatitis, as they can appear in other identities such as: ruptured ectopic pregnancy, aortic aneurysm, rectus abdominis muscle hematoma, perforated duodenal ulcer, common bile duct rupture and biliary peritonitis, idiopathic perirenal hemorrhage, infectious mononucleosis with splenic rupture, metastatic esophageal and thyroid cancer, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, amoebic liver abscess, portal hypertension, and liver tumor disease.

Esophageal disorders are commonly encountered by radiologists on computed tomography. Characteristic computed tomography findings of various esophageal pathologies have been extensively described and are important for the radiologist to know to facilitate accurate and timely diagnosis. Esophageal disorders can be broadly classified as infectious and inflammatory, congenital/structural, or neoplastic.

Introduction And Objectives: Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) by transient elastography has been validated to predict high-risk varices (HRV). We aimed to evaluate the accuracy of shear-wave elastography (SWE) and platelet count (Baveno VI criteria) to rule out HRV in patients with compensated advanced chronic liver disease (c-ACLD).
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed data of patients with c-ACLD (transient elastography ≥ 10 kPa) submitted to two-dimensional SWE (2D-SWE) (GE-LOGIQ-S8) and/or point SWE (p-SWE) (ElastPQ) who had a gastrointestinal endoscopy within 24 months.

Polycythemia vera (PV) and non-cirrhotic portal hypertension (NCPH) are relatively independent diseases, and few studies have linked them. However, in clinical settings, there may be a causal relationship. The aim of the present study was to analyze the clinical data of five patients with portal hypertension caused by PV and summarize the characteristics of PV with portal hypertension, to enhance the knowledge of this disease.

Scleroderma is a group of autoimmune diseases that principally affects the skin, blood vessels, muscles, and viscera. One of the more well-known subgroups of scleroderma is the limited cutaneous form of the multisystem connective tissue disorder known as CREST (calcinosis, Raynaud phenomenon, esophageal dysmotility, sclerodactyly, and telangiectasis) syndrome. In this report, we present a case of a spontaneous colonic bowel perforation in a patient with incomplete features of CREST.
