The Clinical Utility of SPECT/CT Hybrid Imaging on Bleeding Meckel’s Diverticulum in Adults: A Case Report

1. Abstract Meckel’s diverticulum is a common malformation of the gastrointestinal tract. Technetium-99m (99mTc) pertechnetate planar scintigraphy is the procedure of choice to localize ectopic gastric mucosa. On the other hand, single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) imaging comes up with more precise landmarks and scintigraphic findings. We present a case where SPECT/CT provided …

PAR2 Involved in Colonic Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Receptor-Α-Positive Cell Proliferation in Diabetic Mice

1. Abstract 1.1. Background: Our previous study indicated that STZ-induced diabetes led to colonic PDGFR α+ cell proliferation accompanied by slow colonic transit in mice, however, the mechanism is unclear. 1.2. Aims: This study was designed to investigate whether protein as e-activated receptor 2 (PAR2) mediates PDGFR α+ cell proliferation. http://dx.doi.org/10.47829/JJGH.2021.6205

Is C-Reactive Protein (CRP) A Reliable Marker for Postoperative Complications in Gastrointestinal and Colorectal Surgery?

1. Abstract 1.1. Background: There are many markers that have been studied in the prediction of the immune and inflammatory response postoperatively; among them the most common one is CRP. 2. Summary CRP seems to be a good marker of the inflammatory response after colorectal, gastric, and bariatric operations, and in combination with the clinical …

Endoscopic Bougie Dilation Combined with Bleomycin Injection is Effective for Benign Esophageal Anastomotic Stricture

1. Abstract 1.1. Background/Aim: The longstanding effect of the existing treatments have been limited for managing benign postoperative esophageal anastomotic stricture. This study was conducted to ex- plore the safety and efficacy of endoscopic dilation combined with bleomycin for the treatment of benign anastomotic esophageal stric- ture. http://dx.doi.org/10.47829/JJGH.2021.6103

PET/MRI: A Promising Tool for Detecting Cardiac Neuroendocrine Tumor Metastasis

1. Abstract Neuroendocrine Tumors (NET) staging, including metastasis detec- tion, will affect the management and the prognosis of the disease. MRI imaging and somatostatin receptor [SSTR]-targeted PET ap- pear complementary for metastasis detection with a higher sensitivity of PET for lymph node and lung metastases identification and a higher sensitivity of MRI for liver metastases …

Which Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomies Convert into Roux En Y Gastric Bypass? A Prospective Monocentric Study About 50 Patients

1. Abstract 1.1. Background: Despite promising short-term results, revision from Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG) to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) can be required due to either inadequate weight loss or weight regain (IWL/WR), or de novo complications, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or gastric stenosis. 1.2. Objectives: To report surgical outcomes in converting SG to RYGBP …
