Background: Upper gastrointestinal (GI) lesions are common in patients with chronic kidney disease and may contribute to anemia and increased morbidity, especially in patients on hemodialysis (HD). They become even more significant in patients undergoing kidney transplantation about to be subjected to lifelong immunosuppressive drugs.
Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study conducted at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University's Departments of Gastroenterology and Nephrology analyzed 128 prospective kidney transplant patients following upper GI endoscopy.

Introduction: The medical treatment of refractory collagenous colitis with a concomitant symptomatic lymphocytic disorder of the upper gastrointestinal tract is very challenging with scarce evidence.
Case Presentation: We present a 61-year-old female patient with a long-standing highly refractory collagenous colitis with a concomitant symptomatic lymphocytic disorder with villous atrophy and intraepithelial lymphocytes of the upper gastrointestinal tract causing severe watery diarrhoea with severe hypokalemia and recurrent episodes of prerenal kidney injuries requiring several hospital admissions. Celiac serology as well as genetic analyses (HLA-DQ2/DQ8) were negative, and other common etiologies of intraepithelial lymphocytosis and villous atrophy were ruled out.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the impact of anastomotic orientation (Upward vs. Downward) in Roux-en-Y reconstruction on duodenal stump leakage(DSL) incidence following radical total gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Additionally, this study explored the safety, feasibility, and related risks associated with standard upward-oriented Roux-en-Y anastomosis in radical total gastrectomy.

Introduction: The weakest part of the duodenal wall is the ampulla of Vater, since here the circular arrangement of the duodenal musculature is destructured to integrate the sphincter of Oddi. This characteristic could be the reason why most duodenal diverticula appear in the juxtapapillary region, even including the papilla inside.
Objective: The objective of the research was to determine the patients diagnosed with juxtapapillary diverticulum (JD) after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), who were confused with different previous diagnoses.
