Radiation-induced hemorrhagic gastritis (RIHG) is a rare but potentially fatal event following radiotherapy for locally advanced gastric cancer; the treatment of this condition is not standardized. Only few cases of RIHG have been reported, treated with different therapeutic approaches. Here we report the case of a 79-year-old patient who underwent subtotal gastrectomy for gastric cancer, followed by adjuvant chemo-radiotherapy. Approximately 3 months after the end of the treatment, she developed recurrent diffuse bleeding originating from the entire mucosa of the gastric pouch and from a marginal ulcer. As the bleeding was refractory to several endoscopic treatments and surgery was not indicated, the patient underwent two sessions of transcatheter selective arterial embolization, with resolution of bleeding. Arterial embolization has already been reported for the treatment of hemorrhagic cystitis, developing after irradiation of the pelvis for prostate, bladder, rectum, and cervix cancer. However, to our knowledge, it has never been reported as a treatment for hemorrhagic gastritis. Based on this case, we suggest arterial embolization as an option in the management of RIHG, when standard endoscopic treatment fails.

Hypocalcemia is associated with adverse clinical course in patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding.

Authors:
Alexander Korytny Amir Klein Erez Marcusohn Yaacov Freund Ami Neuberger Aeyal Raz Asaf Miller Danny Epstein

Intern Emerg Med 2021 Mar 2. Epub 2021 Mar 2.

Critical Care Division, Rambam Health Care Campus, HaAliya HaShniya St. 8, 3109601, Haifa, Israel.

Acute non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (NV-UGIB) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Early and efficient risk stratification can facilitate management and improve outcomes. We aimed to determine whether the level of ionized calcium (Ca), an essential co-factor in the coagulation cascade, is associated with the severity of bleeding and the need for advanced interventions among these patients.

Assessment of the embolization effect of temperature-sensitive p(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-butyl methylacrylate) nanogels in the rabbit renal artery by CT perfusion and confirmed by macroscopic examination.

Department of Radiology, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, 430022, China.

Transcatheter embolization is an important treatment method in clinical therapy, and vascular embolization material plays a key role in embolization. The temperature-sensitive p(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-butyl methylacrylate) (PIB) nanogel is a novel embolic agent. To evaluate the feasibility of the nanogel as a blood vessel embolization agent, we aimed to assess the effect of embolization with PIB nanogels in the rabbit renal artery by non-invasive computed tomography (CT) perfusion, macroscopic and histological examination.

Recurrent Syncope Caused by a Dural Arteriovenous Fistula: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Authors:
Dallas L Sheinberg Evan Luther Stephanie Chen David McCarthy Robert M Starke

Neurologist 2021 Mar 4;26(2):62-65. Epub 2021 Mar 4.

Department of Neurosurgery, University of Miami, Miami, FL.

Background: Dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) are pathologic vascular connections that shunt dural arterial flow directly to dural venous drainage. Only a few isolated case reports describe syncope on presentation. We report the first case of DAVF causing recurrent, progressive syncope in an otherwise asymptomatic patient. Read More

CVIR Endovasc 2021 Mar 1;4(1):23. Epub 2021 Mar 1.

Institute of diagnostic and interventional radiology, Helios Klikum, Erfurt, Germany.

Background: This is a rare case of removing an intra-arterial foreign body represented by MynxGrip polyethylene glycol (PEG) sealant as a rare complication of using the MynxGrip™ Vascular Closure Device (AccessClosure, Inc., Mountain View, CA) using a pRESET stent retriever (Phenox, Bochum, Germany) which is utilized mainly for treatment of endovascular stroke.

Case Presentation: A 60-year-old female patient suffering from intermittent claudication in the right lower limb (stage IIb according to Fontaine) due to a peripheral arterial occlusive disease was presented for an elective revascularization using balloon angioplasty of a short chronic occlusion of the right superficial femoral artery.

Wenzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Affiliated to Zhejiang Chinese Medical University Wenzhou 325000, China.

To investigate the effects of Dahuang Zhechong Pills combined with hepatic arterial chemoembolization(TACE) on tumor index and immune function of patients with primary liver cancer(blood stasis and collaterals blocking type), observe its application values in treatment of such patients, and provide effective treatment means for this disease. From June 2019 to December 2019, 79 patients with confirmed primary liver cancer(blood stasis and collaterals blocking type) treated in Wenzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine were included in this study, all of which were grouped with random number table method before inclusion in this study. 40 patients in the control group were treated with TACE, while 39 patients in the observation group were treated with Dahuang Zhechong Pills combined with TACE.
