The factors responsible for Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) growth are not precisely known. `To study the clinical parameters associated with increases in Maximum Tumor Diameter (MTD).
lpha-Fetoprotein (AFP) is an oncofetal-protein that is an important prognostic biomarker in Hepato Cellular Carcinoma (HCC) patients, yet the reasons for this importance are unclear. We aimed to evaluate the relationships between AFP and Maximum Tumor Diameter (MTD), multifocality, Portal Vein Thrombosis (PVT) and survival.
Background: Foodborne diseases or foodborne diarrhea are important reasons affecting the global population. Diarrheagenic E. coli is the most important pathogens, which causes diarrhea in humans. On May 27, 2022, Anji County Hospital of Chinese Medicine treated several patients with acute onset of gastroenteritis. It was found that this was an outbreak caused by two different EPECs.
Duodenal Pseudomelanosis (DP) also known as pseudomelanosis duodeni is an uncommon entity characterized by upper endoscopic evidence of specks of black- brownish pigmentation of the mucosal layer in the duodenum. Pseudo-melanosis duodeni is commonly seen in females and mostly middle-aged to elderly populations. Pigment (ferrous sulfide) laden macrophages collect in the normal villi of the duodenum.
The connection between Pyloric Stenosis of Infancy (PS) with Duodenal Ulcer (DU) in adults is undeniable. Both occur predominantly in males and in the same ratio-5/1. Both have a familial basis [1] and both have hyperacidity [2,3,4] which is fundamental to pathogenesis. In both conditions blood group O-the blood group associated with hyperacidity -predominates [5,6] and presumably reflects a parietal mass at the top of the normal range.
Although Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) primarily involves the respiratory system, it can also progress to a multisystem illness frequently involving the gastrointestinal tract. It is commonly observed that COVID elevates Liver Function Tests (LFTs) during an acute infection, but not much has been published about the effects once the infection clears. We investigated outcomes of elevated LFTs during a COVID infection as well as long-term LFTs.
A 28-year-old male patient presented to us with chief complaints of mild intermittent non radiating pain abdomen, in right lower abdomen for 2 months, along with significant weight loss. Routine investigations were done which was suggestive of Anaemia (Hb 10gm/dl), lower serum albumin 3.4mg/dl, increased ESR.
Colorectal cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer worldwide, accounting for over 25% of cancers and 35% of cancer-related deaths across the globe [1,2]. Liver metastases present in more than half of colorectal cancer cases [3]. Therefore, personalized therapy and evaluation of changes in tumor size are pivotal for treatment success.
Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure (ACLF) is a necessary step between decompensated cirrhosis and death. It is generally thought of as a multi-organ failure associated with decompensated cirrhosis, with a high chance of death. Herb-induced Liver Injury (HILI) is the term used for acute liver injury caused by herbal and dietary supplements, and this might disarrange a previously compensated cirrhotic patient, precipitating ACLF.
Cirrhosis, a prevalent manifestation of chronic liver disease, is associated with a high risk of morbidity and mortality. Previous research has examined the function of oxidative stress and the therapeutic effects of various herbs, albeit with ambiguous results. E. Angustifolia L.’s influence on malondialdehyde (MDA) and tumour necrosis factor- (TNF-) in cirrhosis was evaluated for the first time in the present investigation.
To evaluate the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention hepatitis C care cascade, that assesses hepatitis C follow-up testing and laboratory evidence of likely clearance/cure and recurrent viremia, among Californian incarcerated or detained persons (IDP) and general populations.
Purpose: Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (ESCC) and Adenocarcinoma (EAC) are common and deadly diseases. The gut microbiome has been implicated in cancer development, yet its role in esophageal cancer (EC) pathogenesis remains unclear.
Methods: We performed a systematic review to summarize the literature on the microbiome and EC. Three databases were queried for studies performing microbial analysis in Barrett’s Esophagus, EAC and ESCC.
Faecal calprotectin (FC) is a marker to diagnose Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), that is Ulcerative Colitis & Crohn’s Disease. Identifying IBD from other gut related disorder is of prime importance in managing the condition. Faecal calprotectin is cheap and non-invasive, it also helps in assessing the further need of any possible invasive procedure such as colonoscopy or imaging studies. The main objective of this observational study was to diagnose new IBD in mildly raised faecal calprotectin value(60ug/g-300ug/g). This study was done in a district-level hospital in the UK...
Celiac Disease (CD) represents an immune-mediated disorder that involves the body’s inability to digest gluten properly. After contact with gluten, patients of all ages might experience symptoms such as bloating, diarrhea, gas, growth issues, and anemia. In the past two decades, its prevalence has drastically increased worldwide, so the need for a better understanding of this disease and novel potential treatment options has never been greater. Today, patients are still advised to follow a completely gluten-free traditional gold standard CD diet...

Diarrhoea is usually a symptom of a bowel infection and the etiology of infectious diarrhea is generally mixed. Development of resistance to anti-microbial agents and increased risk of developing clostridium difficile-associated diarrhoea pose a new threat. In combination with metronidazole, rifaximin with its unique properties and broad spectrum activity can be a rational approach for infectious diarrhoea as co-infection is the norm in majority of the patients...
Esophageal Cancer (EC) has the sixth-worst prognosis because of its aggressiveness and poor survival. Patients with EC are malnourished due to anorexia, dysphagia, pain, and hypercatabolic state, which results in cancer cachexia and high mortality rates. Oral feeding usually remains inadequate to cover nutritional needs, while Enteral Nutrition (EN) remains the recommended solution...
Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS) is an established treatment for complications of decompensated liver cirrhosis causing portal hypertension. Hepatic encephalopathy is a frequent complication of TIPS; however, cerebral edema, which is more commonly seen in acute liver failure, has rarely been reported in chronic liver failure or post-TIPS. There are multiple proposed mechanisms that may contribute to cerebral edema after TIPS placement, but few established risk factors or treatment options exist...
Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) is a chronic cholestatic disease of the liver. Due to the permanent cholestasis, fibrosis and cirrhosis eventually occur. It is said to be a rare disease in black Africans.

The human liver usually receives blood supply from hepatic artery arising from the common hepatic artery (Figure1). One or two aberrant hepatic arteries (S,D) appear in 30% of fetal livers and 28.6 % of adult livers (Table 1), [1,2,3]. The aberrant arteries (S or D) occupy an entire lobe of the liver in high frequency. The human liver receives any of three arterial supplies; triple (MSD), double (MS, MD, SD), or single (M,S,D; Figure1, Table 1). The arterial supply of the liver has been classified into seven patterns: MSD, MS, MD, SD, M, S, D (Table 1) [4,2,3]...
Objective: According to recent ESGE guideline adequate polypectomy technique should be used in >80% of polypectomies.

Since the initial description of laparoscopic fundoplication in 1991 for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease, different minimally invasive procedures have been developed until nowadays, when esophagectomy is performed using combined thoracoscopy and laparoscopy. The aim of our study is to analyse the intraoperative complications of minimally invasive esophagectomy in prone position.
Achalasia is a rare chronic autoimmune motility disorder of the esophagus. A curative treatment restoring the motility does not exist, however there are good options for symptom control by laparoscopic Heller myotomy (LHM). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of LHM in patients with achalasia and to evaluate achalasia-disease specific quality of life (achalasia-DSQoL) and health related quality of life (HRQoL).
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is defined as chronic idiopathic inflammation of the intestines which includes two gastrointestinal disorders of unknown etiology: Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and Crohn’s Disease (CD). The nature of clinical symptoms persistence is connected with different factors, among others angiogenesis plays an important role in development of changes within bowel wall. Both macro- and microscopically examined bowels from patients suffering from acute phase of IBD revealed sometimes dramatically congested vessels with hemorrhagic foci.
