One of the possible complications after bariatric surgery is
bleeding. within the majority of cases bleeding within the later
stages of the postoperative period are intraluminal, with
clinical manifestations of high gastrointestinal bleeding.
Among all bariatric procedures, the event of this complication
is more common after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Upper
endoscopy is that the diagnostic and treatment method of
choice, but only bleeding within the gastric pouch or within the
gastroenteroanastomosis may be stopped during this way.
If localization of bleeding is within the remnant stomach or
duodenum and little intestine, it's necessary to use more
advanced endoscopic procedures. Male patient, 44 years old
with BMI 43 kg/m2 and comorbidities (Diabetes Mellitus type
2, decompensated in patient receiving hypoglycemic drugs),
was undergone laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in
October 2014. During the year %EWL was 81%, there was
compensation of diabetes without medication (HbA1 4,9%). In
January 2015 he was hospitalized in an exceedingly clinic in
St. Petersburg with signs of upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
He includes a history of melena during the last 5 days with an
episode of syncope within the hospital day. Hemoglobin was
88 g/l. Upper endoscopy and colonoscopy were performed
without identification of source of bleeding. Drug therapy was
conducted. some days later the patient was transferred to our
hospital with no signs of ongoing bleeding. Balloon-assisted
enteroscopy was performed. peptic ulceration with no signs of
bleeding was visualized. Endoscopic hemostasis wasn???t
needed. The patient was discharged the following day.

The finding that the reduction within the Estrogen Receptor ER-beta/ ER-alpha ratio may be a pathologic biomarker for flairs in Crohn???s Disease has been scientifically linked, retrospectively, to 1) reduced bioavailable testosterone, 2) hypothalamic-pituitarygonadal axis dysregulation and 3) environmental toxins as probable causation. Estrogen turns
off the ER-beta and must be avoided. Bioavailable testosterone is recognized because the biomarker, the Free Androgen Index (FAI). Decreased bioavailability is calculated because the ratio of decreasing Total Testosterone levels and increasing sex-hormone-binding globulin (SHBG). The FDA medication that increases serum total testosterone without increasing estrogen is nandrolone. The FDA medication that decreases SHBG is stanozolol. Using weekly intramuscular injections, the FAI is used because the drug-related biomarker. Increases in FAI parallel the recovery and potential remission seen with 5 of seven Crohn???s patients followed for up to five years. Each had exhausted all medication and surgical options; 2 had all the complications related to their Short Bowel Syndrome. The FAI is the scientific serum drugrelated biomarker that increases with treatment directed improvement in disease. These two available anabolic steroids offer a paradigm shift beyond biologics and surgical resection; these patients may now realize the compassionate relief from the devastation of inflammatory bowel disease

This literature provides a review regarding the price of
checking ammonia level in hepatic Encephalopathy. The
research examines the prognosis of Ammonia level within the
blood, diagnosis and management of hepatic encephalopathy.
the foremost clinical characteristics of diagnosis of hepatic
encephalopathy are depressed consciousness level,
intellectual impairment and personality changes. During
diagnosis, it's essential to detect signs suggesting hepatic
encephalopathy among the patients suffering from disease
and there is no clear indication of other causes to brain
dysfunction. Thus, realization of precipitating factors indicated
above supports hepatic encephalopathy diagnosis. The
prognosis depends on the grade of liver failure, time of
delivering effective treatment particularly precipitating factors
and comorbidity. The progress of hepatic encephalopathy
among patients with cirrhosis is correlated with a worse
prediction and might cause frequent and elevated relapses.
The patients with obvious hepatic encephalopathy within the
hospitals have a 3.9 risk of increased mortality

Brain stem syndrome may be a condition commonly characterized by limb weakness, ophthalmoplegia, and gait disturbances. The common causes of brain stem syndrome are ischemia, neoplasia, demyelination, infective and hamartomatous lesions within the brain. Imaging ideally with an MRI scan is sometimes diagnostic in most cases and possibly following other investigations to spot systemic abnormality or CSF changes before appropriate therapy will be introduced. A 42yr old Caucasian lady presented with nonspecific symptoms like lethargy, malaise, was off food for a pair of months and had lost a substantial amount of weight (4 stones = 25.4kgs). She was admitted to the hospital with nausea and vomiting for some weeks and complained of a lump in her throat. Gastroscopy was unremarkable. She also complained of sudden onset of visual impairment for the previous few days and examination showed vertical Nystagmus. She also complained of bizarre sensation in her feet and soreness within the bottom of her feet when she stood up.

Background and Aim: Esophageal stricture may be a major complication of huge area endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) or endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). To date, the critical mechanism of esophageal stricture has not been fully elucidated. Here, we designed this experiment to explore the role of mucosal loss in esophageal stricture after mucosal resection during a porcine model. Material and Methods: Twelve swine were used for this study and randomly divided into two groups. Firstly, altogether the swine, two submucosal tunnels were made from 5 cm long and 1/3rd in breadth on the anterior and posterior wall of the esophageal circumference. After that, the covered mucosa was resected along the lateral edges of the tunnel within the group 1. The meanwhile covered mucosa was incised on the midline of the tunnels within the group 2. The process of stricture formation was evaluated by endoscopy after one, two and 4 weeks respectively. Anatomical and histological examinations were performed after euthanasia.
