1. Abstract There are two types of pancreatic tumors. Those arising from either endocrine component (neuroendocrine cells) or exocrine component (ductal and acinar cells). Mixed Acinar-Neuroendocrine Carcinoma (MANEC), is a unique entity comprising of both neuroendocrine and acinar components, with neuroendocrine cells comprising of more than 30% of the tumor. Less than 52 cases have …

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 …

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

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

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 …

1. Abstract 1.1. Purpose: Colorectal resection in cirrhotic patients is associated with high mortality and morbidity related to portal hypertension. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of neoadjuvant transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) on postoperative outcomes. http://dx.doi.org/10.47829/JJGH.2021.6104

1. Abstract An 80-year-old male, diagnosed with chronic hepatitis C and received interferon (IFN) treatment, but was a non-responder. Abdominal contrast CT for screening revealed a hypovascular liver tumor in the liver with para-aortic and intraperitoneal lymphadenopathy. Pathologically, biopsy of the tumor revealed mild infiltration of only inflammatory cells in the portal region and no …

1. Case Report Mortality rates of COVID-19 continue to rise across the world. The majority of patients dies from Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), pulmonary embolism and from cytokine storm syndrome. We describe the case of 52 years old women, with ARDS and Cytokines Storm Syndrome (CSS) who survived. DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.47829/JJGH.2021.51205  

1. Abstract Hyperechoic echogenicity in a hepatic cyst is a sign of cyst infection. We report a case of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease with polycystic liver disease where the hepatic cyst showed glittering spots. Cyst fluid analysis revealed them as cholesterol crystals. DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.47829/JJGH.2021.51203

1. Abstract The authors describe a 48-year-old man with Covid-19 diagnosed in January 2020 in Huangshi, Hubei Province in China, along with two other critically ill patients with Covid-19 who were also seen in the same intensive care unit. Mild liver dysfunction combined with abnormal indicators of liver fibrosis and autoantibodies were seen in all …
