On arrival, his blood pressure was 97/50 mmHg and his heart rate was 101 bpm. Laboratory tests revealed a hemoglobin concentration of 9.3 g/dL (normal, 12.3–18.3), elevated urea (29 mg/dL; normal, 8.0–20.0), and normal creatinine (0.9 mg/dL). Liver function tests and prothrombin time were within normal limits. He denied taking aspirin or nonsteroid anti-inflammatory analgesics. (Source: Gastroenterology)

We read with great interest the article by Söderlund et al evaluating cancer occurrence and mortality in a population-based study from Sweden including 7,607 patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD) who were diagnosed from 1954 to 1989. Data on colorectal cancer (CRC) were available through 2004. The authors demonstrated that over the past 35 years the risk of death from CRC declined markedly within the inflammatory bowel disease cohort. (Source: Gastroenterology)

We appreciate the interest that our concern has generated regarding the application of the Clavien system for surgical complications in the A2ALL study. We admire the philosophy and the achievements of the multicenter A2ALL study group, and will continue to follow their reports with keen interest. Morbidity in living donors continues to be the most serious concern in the field, and we consider discussions of this aspect valuable towards strengthening our global collaboration as medical professionals to improve patient care.

One of the primary aims of the Adult-to-Adult Living Donor Liver Transplantation Cohort Study (A2ALL) is the analysis of short- and long-term outcomes in living liver donors. We have adopted the use of the severity grading system for complications described by Clavien in 1994 and still believe it is the best grading system available to classify donor complications. The A2ALL report on the complication rates and grading of complications was published in this journal in 2008. (Source: Gastroenterology)

Question: A 29-year-old man underwent a pull-through procedure for imperforate anus at birth. He had been bothered by difficulty with defecation and irregular bowel habits for >20 years. Because he had remained in good health, he did not seek further medical investigation. About 5 days before admission, he noticed progressive abdominal distention and swelling of the lower limbs. On admission he was thin and had an ovoid abdomen, which was dull on percussion.

The overwhelming success of liver transplantation has led to a dramatic increase in its application. However, the diversity of the patient populations, the variability in the quality and types of donors, and the fluid nature of the specialty make clinical decision making in this specialty complex. Although there are numerous settings for sharing of experience at transplant and liver meetings worldwide and numerous textbooks that cover this shared experience with respect to liver transplantation, there are numerous areas within transplantation where agreement on management is not settled; even conventional immune suppressio...

Helicobacter pylori infection is a well-established risk factor for gastric carcinogenesis. In animal models, H pylori infection induces a sequence of atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia, dysplasia, and cancer. In some animal models, early eradication of H pylori decreases the incidence of gastric cancer. Whether eradication of H pylori prevents future development of gastric cancer in man remains to be proven. (Source: Gastroenterology)
