Article Abstract
Background: Cirrhosis of liver is the leading cause of portal hypertension in this part of the globe. Around thirty percent of the patient with portal hypertension develops complications. Oesophageal variceal bleeding is a serious complication of portal hypertension. Oesophageal variceal band ligation (EVBL) has become the standard of care for patients with bleeding oesophageal varices. Multiple sessions of band ligation are cumbersome and expensive.
Methods: Sixty patients with acute variceal bleed were enrolled in this randomized control trial. Patients were randomly assigned to multi-session (group A) or single session (group B) oesophageal variceal band ligation group. All. patients were followed for re-bleeding and mortality up to three months.
Results: Re-bleeding occurred (20%) in group A and (17%) in group B patients, respectively. Mortality was 10% in group A and 7% in group B patients. Variceal obliteration was better in group A 63% than group B 24% (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Single session band ligation was comparable for rates of re-bleeding and mortality to multi-session band ligation.

Aim: The epidemiology of hemorrhoids is challenging because of variability in sampling methodologies and diagnostic criteria across different studies. This study indirectly clarified the epidemiology of hemorrhoids by investigating the number of invasive treatments for hemorrhoids (ITH) using a nationwide healthcare claims database.
Methods: The annual number and rate of ITH procedures per 100 000 people during 2018-2022 were examined.

Background: Superior rectal artery embolization ("Emborrhoid") offers a catheter-based alternative for grade I-III internal hemorrhoids when office therapies fail or surgery is undesirable.
Methods: Following PRISMA 2020, PubMed and Embase were searched (Jan 2014-Jan 2024). Two reviewers independently screened records, extracted data, and applied RoB 2, ROBINS-I, or an adapted Newcastle-Ottawa Scale.

In single-atom catalysts (SACs), active sites can be positioned in close proximity without forming direct chemical bonds, allowing their catalytic behavior to be modulated through inter-site interactions. However, the atomic-level mechanisms underlying these site proximity effects remain poorly understood. Herein, employing constant-potential density functional theory calculations, we systematically investigate the influence of site proximity on the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity of Fe SACs embedded in pyridinic N-doped graphene (FeN SACs).

Background: Colonic diverticular bleeding (CDB) is a leading cause of lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage that has a high risk of recurrence. The endoscopic clipping and endoscopic band ligation (EBL) methods are widely used for hemostasis in patients with CDB. Endoscopic detachable snare ligation (EDSL) has also become an increasingly common treatment option.
