Bile Acid Diarrhea
Korean J Gastroenterol. 2024 Apr 25;83(4):133-142. doi: 10.4166/kjg.2023.119.ABSTRACTDiarrhea is a very common gastrointestinal symptom, and the presence of higher concentrations of bile acid in the colon leads to bile acid diarrhea (BAD). In BAD patients, a portion of bile from the small intestine that is normally controlled by enterohepatic circulation is present at a high concentration in the lumen of the large intestine, resulting in increased motility and secretion of the large intestine. The prevalence of BAD is estimated to be 1-2% of the general population, and it comprises one-third of the instances of diarrhea-pr...

Association between Atherosclerosis and High-Risk Colorectal Adenomas based on Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index and Ankle-Brachial Index
CONCLUSIONS: In this study, a significant correlation between positive CAVI and high-risk adenomas was observed. Therefore, CAVI may be a significant predictor for high-risk colorectal adenoma.PMID:38659250 | DOI:10.4166/kjg.2024.003 (Source: Korean J Gastroenter...)

Comparison of the Efficacy of 12-day Concomitant Quadruple Therapy versus 14-day High dose Dual Therapy as a First-line < em > H. pylori < /em > Eradication Regimen
CONCLUSIONS: Twelve-day concomitant therapy seems to be an acceptable regimen for first-line H. pylori eradication in Iran, a country with a high rate of antibiotic resistance. Although, high dose dual therapy did not result in an ideal eradication rate, but it had fewer drug side effects than the 12-day concomitant regimen.PMID:38659251 | DOI:10.4166/kjg.2024.012 (Source: Korean J Gastroenter...)

A Case of Esophageal MALT Lymphoma Mimicking a Subepithelial Tumor
Korean J Gastroenterol. 2024 Apr 25;83(4):157-162. doi: 10.4166/kjg.2024.021.ABSTRACTMucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, also known as extranodal marginal zone lymphoma, is a low-grade B-cell lymphoma that can develop in the mucosal layer of various organs, including the gastrointestinal tract, salivary glands, lungs, and skin. The most common site is the gastrointestinal tract, particularly the stomach. On the other hand, primary esophageal lymphomas are extremely rare. MALT lymphomas can undergo histological transformation into more aggressive B-cell lymphomas, such as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, result...

Metastatic Melanoma of the Common Bile Duct Presented with Dyspepsia
We describe a very rare case of MM metastasis to the common bile duct (CBD), presented with only dyspeptic symptoms. The patient had mildly elevated alkaline phosphatase and gamma-glutamyl transferase levels. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography demonstrated a dilated common bile duct with a distal stricture. The MM diagnosis was established with the ampulla of Vater biopsy specimens obtained by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), and the patient's symptoms were resolved after biliary stenting. Both primary CBD cancer and other cancer types like MM that metastasize to CBD can cause obstruction and...

Successful Transcatheter Arterial Embolization of Abdominal Wall Hematoma from the Left Deep Circumflex Iliac Artery after Abdominal Paracentesis in a Patient with Liver Cirrhosis: Case Report and Literature Review
Korean J Gastroenterol. 2024 Apr 25;83(4):167-171. doi: 10.4166/kjg.2024.030.ABSTRACTThe occurrence of an abdominal wall hematoma caused by abdominal paracentesis in patients with liver cirrhosis is rare. This paper presents a case of an abdominal wall hematoma caused by abdominal paracentesis in a 67-year-old woman with liver cirrhosis with a review of the relevant literature. Two days prior, the patient underwent abdominal paracentesis for symptom relief for refractory ascites at a local clinic. Upon admission, a physical examination revealed purpuric patches with swelling and mild tenderness in the left lower quadrant o...
