Article Abstract
A 60-year-old male was admitted to the hospital with abdominal pain and diagnosed with microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H)sigmoid colon cancer. Computed tomography revealed an obstructive mass in the sigmoid colon along with swelling of the para-aortic lymph nodes. The patient initially underwent loop transverse colostomy, followed by treatment with the immune checkpoint inhibitor(ICI)pembrolizumab. After 5 courses of ICI, the tumor significantly shrank; therefore, radical resection was performed. The patient has been monitored without adjuvant chemotherapy, and recurrence has not occurred after 1 year. This case shows that ICI may be an effective rescue treatment for colorectal cancer patients with unresectable distant metastasis.

Background: The ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) is the primary procedure during surgeries of the left colon, sigmoid colon, and rectal cancer. Despite the ongoing debate on high or low ligation of the IMA, high ligation (HL) is now preferred by most of the surgeons. However, there is still a lack of consistency in the exact position of HL among surgical videos or introductions presented by different teams, causing confusion to new learners.

Background: Ultrasound (US) can be a valuable tool for assessing arthritis associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), especially in cases of psoriatic disease. The clinical case reviewed in this article addresses an exploratory finding that evaluates the effects of immunobiological treatments on dactylitis and IBD with the use of US techniques.
