Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a critical tool in managing hepatobiliary and pancreatic diseases. Atrial fibrillation (AF) has been associated with greater morbidity patients undergoing ERCP. This study compared in-hospital ERCP outcomes without AF. retrospective cohort utilized data from the National Inpatient Sample (2016-2020). Patients who underwent during hospitalization were included. AF matched 1:1 to those AF, based on demographic clinical variables. The...
Gastroparesis is a chronic gastrointestinal disorder characterized by delayed gastric emptying without mechanical obstruction, leading to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Despite its significant impact on patient quality of life, effective management remains challenging. Current treatments, prokinetic agents antiemetics, offer symptomatic relief but have limitations, necessitating the exploration new approaches. We reviewed most recent literature using PubMed Medline,...
Microscopic colitis (MC) is characterized by chronic watery diarrhea that requires histological examination for diagnosis. Here, we present a case of 63-year-old female with rheumatoid arthritis who developed persistent following leflunomide initiation. Despite normal colonoscopy, random colonic biopsies confirmed MC. Discontinuation led to symptom resolution, implicating it as the causative agent. Leflunomide-induced MC exceedingly rare, limited documented cases. Understanding its...
