1. Abstract 1.1. Introduction: This retrospective study investigated the outcome of large unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) in patients with alcoholic and cryptogenic cirrhosis, treated with Trans-Arterial Chemoembolization (TACE). 1.2. Methods: Consecutive 43 cirrhotic patients [Alcoholic group – 25, (M: 25, mean age 62±9.7 SD years, Cryptogenic group – 18, (M: 16, mean age 65±5.6 SD …

Comparison of The Initial Endoscopic Versus Percutaneous Approach Biliary Drainage for Palliative Perihilar Cholangiocarcinoma

1. Abstract 1.1 Background: Percutaneous Transhepatic Biliary Drainage (PTBD) and endoscopic retrograde biliary drainage (ERBD) had been widely used for unresectable perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PHC). The optimal type of biliary drainage is still a matter of debate. We aim to compare the efficacy and complications of PTBD and ERBD in the unresectable PHC. http://dx.doi.org/10.47829/JJGH.2021.6702

Users of Aspirin and Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs Have Fewer and Smaller Dysplastic Polyps – Lessons from Colorectal Cancer Screening Program in Scotland

1. Abstract 1.1. Background & Aims: The potential influence of aspirin and NSAIDs in colorectal cancer screening programs is not clear. We aimed to assess the numbers and sizes of dysplastic polyps detected in colorectal cancer screening of subjects using low-dose aspirin, NSAIDs, and controls. 1.2. Methods: Screening kits were sent to 71026 Scottish citizens, …

A Role for Esophagectomy in Patients with Definitively Treated Solitary Oligometastasis and Worsening Dysphagia: A Case Series

1. Abstract The incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma and its oligometastatic dissemination to non-conventional sites is increasing. We report three patient cases of stage IV esophageal adenocarcinoma where oligometastatic disease was identified following neoadjuvant chemoradiation. In one patient, worsening dysphagia and complete excision of a cutaneous oligometastasis warranted esophagectomy for a stage IV adenocarcinoma. Historically, evidence …

Transformation of A Marginal Lymphoma in Hepatitis C Virus-Infected Patient After Clearance of HCV Viral Load

1. Abstract 1.1. Introduction: Previous studies have shown an increased risk of B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, mostly marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Histologic transformation of low grade lymphoma to DLBCL is higher in HCV-infected patients. http://dx.doi.org/10.47829/JJGH.2021.6601

Ameliorative Effect of Alcoholic Fatty Liver in Mice by the Medicinal Value-Enhanced Porridge Made with Macrotyloma Uniflorum and Vigna Radiata

1. Abstract The excessive consumption of alcohol leads to energy imbalance, which encourages lipid biosynthesis and fat accumulation in the liver. The continued accumulation of fat with high oxidative stress enhances liver fibrosis. The nutrient porridge was made with the germinated Macrotyloma uniflorum and Vigna radiata to treat ALD.
