Gastroduodenal Obstruction Due to Bouveret's Syndrome: A Case Report.

Bouveret's syndrome is a rare disorder that causes upper gastrointestinal obstruction, typically in elderly patients with a history of chronic cholelithiasis. We present an unusual case of a 58-year-old woman with untreated vesicular lithiasis who developed Bouveret's syndrome. She presented with severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal distension.

Types of Injuries and the Severity of Shoulder Dysfunction Associated with Diabetes Mellitus in Patients with Functional Impairment: A Case-Control Study.

Background/objectives: Patients with diabetes have been reported to experience a higher prevalence of shoulder disorders compared to those without diabetes or with other medical conditions. However, the specific types of shoulder injuries and the extent of functional impairment associated with diabetes mellitus remain unclear. This study aimed to assess the association between diabetes and specific shoulder injuries, as well as the degree of functional impairment in affected patients.

Global availability of parenteral nutrition: Pre- and post-COVID-19 pandemic surveys.

Objective: Parenteral nutrition represents a therapeutic option for patients with type 3 intestinal failure. If used exclusively, parenteral nutrition has to be complete to provide all essential nutrients. The aim was to assess the availability of parenteral nutrition in all parts of the world, to better comprehend the global situation, and to prepare an action plan to increase access to parenteral nutrition.

EAT-Lancet Healthy Reference Diet score and diabetes incidence in a cohort of Mexican women.

To improve the health of our planet and develop sustainable food policies, it is important to understand the health impact of a diet pattern that considers planetary and population health. We used data from the Mexican Teachers' Cohort (MTC) to estimate the association between the EAT-Lancet healthy reference diet (EAT-HRD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) incidence. We included 74,671 women aged ≥25 years, free of T2D at baseline.

The Sum of Kidney Donor Profile Index and Estimated Post-Transplant Survival Scale and Their Correlation with eGFR Decline in Deceased Donor Kidney Recipients.

Background: The impact of donor quality on post-kidney transplant survival may vary by candidate condition.

Objective: Analyzing the combined use of the Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) and the estimated post-transplant survival (EPTS) scale and their correlation with the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline in deceased-donor kidney recipients (DDKR).

Methods: This was a retrospective, observational cohort study.

Myocardial ischemia as presenting manifestation of IgG4-related disease: a case-based review.

Coronary involvement in IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) has been scarcely reported, and myocardial ischemia as its presenting feature is even rarer. Here, we describe an additional case with novel and relevant observations. The patient was a previously healthy, middle-aged woman who presented to the clinic with new-onset typical angina.
