A Rare Presentation of Erosive Gastritis Caused by Helicobacter heilmannii Infection.

 () is an uncommon gastric pathogen increasingly recognized for its role in gastrointestinal diseases. Unlike  (),  is rarely detected and often overlooked. It is typically associated with milder pathological features, including less neutrophilic activity, reduced mononuclear infiltration, and endoscopic signs of chronic gastritis without erosions or ulcers.

A Diagnostically Challenging Case of Typical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome Successfully Treated With Eculizumab Therapy.

Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a thrombotic microangiopathy that induces microvesicular injury and occlusion and often results in acute renal failure. Atypical HUS is life-threatening and often progresses to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). However, distinguishing between typical and atypical HUS can be challenging due to comorbid conditions and/or laboratory delays.

A Rare Case of Massive Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage Caused by an Ileal Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. Although gastrointestinal bleeding is a common complication of GISTs, life-threatening hemorrhage is rare, particularly with intestinal GISTs. We report a rare case of an ileal GIST in a 71-year-old female patient who presented with massive lower gastrointestinal bleeding.

Acute Myelomonocytic Leukemia: A Rare Cause of Painless Jaundice.

Acute myelomonocytic leukemia (AMML) is a rare and aggressive subtype of acute myeloid leukemia with varying clinical manifestations. Although hepatic involvement in AMML is commonly seen, cholestatic hepatitis as a primary manifestation of the disease is very rare. In the present case, our elderly patient presented with predominant signs of cholestasis, including jaundice, nausea, and vomiting.

Compound Heterozygous MYO5B Mutation, a Cause of Infantile Cholestasis: A Case Report.

Infantile cholestasis is a common clinical problem in early infancy characterised by impairment in bile formation and/or flow. It requires prompt evaluation for underlying aetiology to initiate appropriate management. Although biliary atresia remains the most important aetiology, metabolic and monogenic disorders are increasingly identified with advances in diagnostic genetic testing.

Telemedicine and Community Health Projects in Asia.

Telemedicine has the potential to deliver high-quality, affordable health care to underserved populations that otherwise would not have adequate access to care. The authors provide a snapshot of several telemedicine initiatives that have used information and communication technologies to connect patients with health care providers across various Asian countries with differing socioeconomic statuses. They highlight several factors thought to contribute to the success of telemedicine programs, such as financial sustainability, ease of use, and utilization of existing resources.
