Article Abstract
Acute duodenal ischemia and periampullary intramural hematoma are rare complications after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). A 77-year-old man with splenomegaly complained of abdominal pain caused by common bile duct (CBD) stone. After successful removal of the CBD stone without immediate complications, the patient developed intramural hematoma around the ampulla of Vater along with diffuse duodenal edema. The findings were compatible with acute intestinal ischemia, and further evaluation revealed that he had underlying primary myelofibrosis. Myeloproliferative diseases are known to be significantly associated with an increased risk of thrombohemorrhagic complications. Therefore, particular attention should be given to this group of patients when a high-risk procedure such as ERCP is performed.

Abnormal Uterine Bleeding, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, and Heavy Menstrual Bleeding in Adolescents.

Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB), a common gynecologic concern in adolescents, often leads to significant physical and emotional distress. This article provides a comprehensive overview of AUB in adolescence, including classification, common causes, diagnosis, and management. The physiology of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis is reviewed, highlighting its role in menstrual regulation and the immaturity-related anovulation that commonly contributes to AUB in the first 2 to 3 years after menarche.

Aims: The clusterin (CLU) gene is genetically associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD), and CLU levels have been shown to positively correlate with regional Aβ deposition in the brain, including in arteries from cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) patients. CLU has also been shown to alter the aggregation, toxicity and blood-brain barrier transport of amyloid beta (Aβ) and has therefore been suggested to play a key role in regulating the balance between Aβ deposition and clearance in both the brain and cerebral blood vessels. However, it remains unclear whether the role of clusterin in relation to Aβ deposition is protective or pathogenic.

Changes in global climate have contributed to increased tick and mosquito (vector) populations and subsequent vector-borne flavivirus infections in humans. This increase poses a threat to the safety of human-derived biologics such as cell and gene therapy. We conducted time-course transcriptomic and protein analyses to uncover host molecular factors driving the virulence of Zika virus (ZIKV) and Dengue virus (DENV) in relation to host defense mechanisms, as these viruses have caused recent flavivirus outbreaks.

Background: Blood pressure (BP) is not steady. It varies over intervals from months to consecutive cardiac cycles and this variation contains meaningful information beyond mean BP. Variability over multiple clinic visits (VVV-BP) and during 24-hour ambulatory monitoring (ABPV) is positively related to risk of stroke and coronary artery disease and negatively associated with cognitive performance.

Background: An inward force is experienced by the guide catheter during device retrieval resulting in potential risk of deep engagement into the ostio-proximal coronary segment. This undesired movement can result in coronary injury. There is no systematic data or reports of techniques to prevent such inadvertent guide movement during difficult retrieval of devices.
