This study aims to address gaps in medical knowledge by determining whether adenoma detection rate (ADR) average-risk screening patients aged 45 49 is equivalent 50 54.
Introduction: Infection with Vibrio vulnificus is the leading cause of death related to seafood consumption in United States. The raw or undercooked can bacteremia and sepsis fatality rates >50%. Approximately 80% patients who die from V. infections have underlying liver disease.1 Case Description/Methods: patient a 51-year-old female history decompensated alcoholic cirrhosis complicated by ascites esophageal varices baseline MELD score 17. She presented one day altered mental status,...
Splenosis is defined as viable splenic tissue that autotransplanted into other compartments in the body. Intrahepatic splenosis a rare diagnosis can be difficult for clinicians to identify. The most common causes of include abdominal trauma and splenectomy. While patients with intrahepatic are asymptomatic, presence risk factors hepatocellular carcinoma, it paramount rule out malignancy. In this report, we present patient imaging findings concerning ultimately diagnosed percutaneous biopsy...
Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIPO) is a rare gastrointestinal motility disorder that presents with symptoms, physical exam, and imaging findings of mechanical bowel obstruction without an anatomical obstruction. Multiple etiologies, including enteric or extrinsic neuropathic dysfunction, myopathic dysfunction the interstitial cells Cajal, cause CIPO’s pathogenesis. The presentation CIPO may be idiopathic caused by underlying diseases. most common abdominal pain, bloating,...
Amphetamines are a well-established cause of liver injury though the typical presentation is that illicit drug abuse rather than occurring in prescribed setting.1 Lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse) one most commonly stimulant medications used for treatment Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD). The authors were only able to find single case lisdexamfetamine-related drug-induced (DILI) pediatric population their review literature. Here we present suspected lisdexamfetamine DILI an adult patient.
Introduction: Colorectal adenomas are precursors to colorectal cancer, making their detection and removal crucial for effective cancer prevention. The adenoma rate (ADR) serves as an essential quality metric assess the effectiveness of endoscopists in identifying these lesions during colonoscopy. We previously evaluated whether ADR was equivalent 2 age groups (45-49 vs 50-54) undergoing screening within a large health care system Philadelphia, PA. This study aims compare between...
Introduction: The formation of hepatic abscesses (HA) after locoregional therapy (LT) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a rare complication. It postulated that prior bacterial seeding peribiliary capillaries acts as nidus HA. We report cohort 4 patients with decompensated cirrhosis and HCC who developed HA LT from 2019 to 2022. Case Description/Methods: Patient 1 an 81-year-old man NASH (Child-Pugh C) complicated by microwave ablation (MWA) transarterial chemoembolization (TACE),...
Introduction: Studies have shown that rates of colon cancer are rising among the younger population, resulting in USPSTF recommendation to lower age for routine screening from 50 45 2021. When patients present with symptoms such as GI bleeding, diarrhea, constipation, or weight loss, malignancy is often on differential and diagnostic colonoscopy pursued. This study aimed assess rate found ages 18-44. Methods: Patients 18-44 who had colonoscopies performed at Thomas Jefferson University...
