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 ...

"Downhill" varices. A rare cause of esophageal hemorrhage [PDF]

, 2006
"Downhill" varices or upper esophageal varices are a rare cause of proximal digestive tract hemorrhage with only 16 cases described in the literature. In our series, hemorrhage due to "downhill" varices represents 0.1% of all acute esophageal variceal ...

Pancytopenia With Hypocellular Bone Marrow Revealing Extrahepatic Portal Venous Obstruction and Cavernous Transformation in a Child: A Case Report of a Diagnostic Challenge

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Extrahepatic portal venous obstruction (EHPVO) is a leading cause of prehepatic portal hypertension in children, particularly in developing countries. While upper gastrointestinal bleeding is the most common presentation, EHPVO may rarely manifest predominantly with hematological abnormalities due to hypersplenism, posing a diagnostic ...

A study on non invasive predictors of large esophageal varices using clinical, laboratory and imaging parameters. [PDF]

, 2009
Portal hypertension- a major hallmark of cirrhosis is defined as a portal pressure gradient exceeding 5-10 mm Hg. In portal hypertension, portosystemic collaterals decompress the portal circulation and give rise to varices.

A Hematologic Masquerader: Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis Type 3 Presenting as Anemia, Hepatosplenomegaly, and Recurrent Bleeding in a Child

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 3 (PFIC‐3), caused by pathogenic variants in the ABCB4 gene, is a rare inherited cholestatic liver disorder that often presents later in childhood. In some patients, hematologic manifestations may dominate the clinical picture and delay recognition of the underlying liver disease.

Feasibility Assessment of Microwave Ablation for Treating Esophageal Varices

, 2017
Esophageal varices are a significant complication of portal hypertension. Endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) is one of the clinical standards for treating these varices and preventing their hemorrhage.

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.
