Achalasia Following SARS-CoV-2 Infection: A Case Report and Review of Literature
We present a case of a 40-year-old female without any history of achalasia who developed symptoms of the condition following a confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. Unusually, multiple esophageal ulcers were identified, which are not typically associated with achalasia.DIAGNOSIS: Achalasia and esophageal ulcers were confirmed through a series of examinations, including barium swallow, CT scan, and upper endoscopy. Furthermore, immunohistochemical staining of esophageal biopsy specimens revealed the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, suggesting direct viral involvement.INTERVENTIONS: The patient was treated with calcium ch...

Rapid growth and malignant transformation of a mucinous cystic neoplasm during pregnancy - a case report
CONCLUSION: Cystic neoplasms of the pancreas require a differentiated management. While overtreatment should be avoided, malignant transformation always merits consideration - in particular if the cystic lesion is located in the pancreatic tail. Women with suspected MCN or cystic pancreatic lesions of uncertain etiology should be informed about the (rare) risk of a malignant transformation of an MCN and should be closely monitored during pregnancy.PMID:38657617 | DOI:10.1055/a-2239-7898 (Source: Zeitschrift fur Gastroenterologie)

Iron supplementation in patients with chronic inflammatory bowel disease: recommendations for a practical approach
Z Gastroenterol. 2024 Apr 24. doi: 10.1055/a-2274-1610. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIron deficiency is the predominant cause of anemia. Iron deficiency anemia plays a major role, especially in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and is the most common extraintestinal manifestation and IBD-associated systemic complication. The presence of anemia leads to a reduction in quality of life in patients with IBD associated with limitations in physical, emotional, and cognitive function. In addition, it is associated with an increased hospitalization rate. For this reason, iron supplementation is of particular importa...
