Article Abstract

Introduction: Early-onset small bowel adenocarcinoma (EO-SBA) is a rare and poorly characterized entity.

Methods: This retrospective study conducted on an international multicenter cohort of 208 patients with SBA aimed at comparing clinicopathologic features of EO-SBA (age younger than 50 years at SBA diagnosis) and late-onset SBA (age 50 years or older at SBA diagnosis).

Results: The presence of predisposing pathologic conditions was significantly more common in the EO-SBA group compared with that in the late-onset SBA group ( P = 0.003, Fisher exact test; relative risk: 1.50, 95% confidence interval: 1.20-1.86). This difference is mainly due to the significantly higher prevalence of celiac disease among patients with EO-SBA.

Discussion: EO-SBA is strongly associated with predisposing conditions, particularly with celiac disease, highlighting the importance of routine screening for celiac disease in patients with EO-SBA.

Aims: The aim is to assess the usefulness of routine duodenal biopsy in patients presenting with iron deficiency anemia in areas with low prevalence of celiac disease (CD).

Methods: This prospective study included 156 patients with unexplained iron deficiency anemia, referred to the Department of Gastroenterology. JSS Medical College and Hospital, Mysuru, India.

Introduction: Although Coeliac disease (CD) current and only treatment is a life-long strict gluten free diet (GFD), some patients suffer from persistent duodenal lesions despite years into the diet. Hence, we aimed to study the effect that the GFD elicits on the mucosal immune infiltrate from these patients.

Method: To that end, duodenal biopsies were collected from non-coeliac controls and CD patients, both at diagnosis and after at least one year into the GFD.

Study on the remodeling of distal residual dissection after surgery in patients with type A aortic dissection and Marfan syndrome.

JTCVS Open

August 2025

State Key Laboratory of Cardiovascular Disease, Center of Vascular Surgery, Fuwai Hospital, National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, China.

Objective: To evaluate the remodeling of the distal aorta and outcomes after aortic surgery for type A aortic dissection (TAAD) in patients with Marfan syndrome and investigate whether morphologic characteristics of the dissection can predict negative remodeling.

Methods: Between 2013 and 2021, we performed total arch with a frozen elephant trunk for 325 patients with Marfan syndrome with DeBakey type I aortic dissection. Mean age was 47.

Objectives: Selective immunoglobulin A deficiency (SIgAD) is characterized by an isolated deficiency of serum IgA while immunoglobulin G (IgG) and immunoglobulin M (IgM) levels remain normal. Symptoms range from asymptomatic to recurrent infections. We aimed to determine the prevalence of IgAD and SIgAD among Omani patients undergoing screening for celiac disease.

Numerous observational studies have suggested links between sex hormones and various autoimmune diseases (ADs). However, the causality of these associations remains uncertain. This study employs Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to investigate the causal relationship between sex hormones and ADs risk.
