Capsule Endoscopy in the Diagnosis of Hookworm‐Induced Acute Intestinal Bleeding—A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT In endemic regions, unexplained small‐bowel bleeding should prompt consideration of parasitic etiologies even when routine investigations are unrevealing. Advanced small‐bowel imaging can directly demonstrate active sources of hemorrhage, enabling timely targeted therapy, preventing unnecessary procedures, and reducing morbidity associated ...

GLP‐1 Receptor Agonists in Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatotic Liver Disease: Bridging Hepatic and Cardiovascular Outcomes

Chronic Diseases and Translational Medicine, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 85-99, June 2026.
Endogenous GLP‐1 and exogenous GLP‐1 RAs activate GLP‐1R‐expressing vagal afferents in the portal vein, projecting to the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS). This input engages brainstem–hypothalamic circuits that regulate metabolic homeostasis. Hypothalamic efferent vagal output to the liver suppresses lipogenesis, enhances triglyceride export, and ...

Cytologic Findings in Esophageal Perforation: An Institutional Experience With Pleural Fluid Specimens

Diagnostic Cytopathology, Volume 54, Issue 6, Page 429-435, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Esophageal perforation (EP) is a rare but life‐threatening condition, and most cases are due to iatrogenic causes. The rest occur spontaneously, due to malignancies, or trauma. The mortality rates can approach 50%, and delayed diagnosis of EP exacerbates patient outcomes.

Endoscopic therapy for gastric varices

, 2010
Bleeding from gastric varices (GVs) is generally more severe than bleeding from esophageal varices (EVs), but is thought to occur less frequently. Although several recent developments in the agents and the techniques have improved the outcome of GV ...

Application of Endoscopy in Improving Survival of Cirrhotic Patients with Acute Variceal Hemorrhage

International Journal of Hepatology, 2011
Playing a central role in the modern multidisciplinary management of acute gastroesophageal variceal hemorrhage, endoscopy is essential to stratify patient at risk, control active hemorrhage, and prevent first as well as recurrent bleeding.

Severe Thrombocytopenia Is Associated With Bleeding in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patients Receiving Antiangiogenic Therapy

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 140-149, June 2026.
Thrombocytopenia is common in hepatocellular carcinoma and may increase bleeding risk during antiangiogenic therapy, yet the clinically relevant platelet threshold remains uncertain. We found that a baseline platelet count < 50 × 109/L was associated with bleeding; patients below this cutoff had a substantially higher bleeding rate than those with ...
