Primary pulmonary neoplasia represents approximately one percent of canine cancers. Although it is recognised that many of these cases may not display classic respiratory signs, dysphagia is not an expected presentation. This report describes a twelve‐year‐old Border Collie that presented with a history of progressive dysphagia and weight loss over ...

Barrett's oesophagus confers a low but significant cancer risk. The condition is common but we do not have effective biomarkers to identify susceptible patients. We believe that there is no single factor that determines cancer risk and an understanding of the combinations of interactions (via gene expression and natural selection) between the Barrett's

Reflex Syncope With Complete Heart Block Triggered by Swallowing in a Patient on Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy

open access: yesPacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are now standard of care for most advanced solid tumors. While effective, they are associated with immune‐related adverse events (irAEs), including rare autonomic complications. We present a patient with metastatic lung adenocarcinoma receiving nivolumab and ipilimumab who developed reflex syncope with ...

open access: yesDEN Open, Volume 7, Issue 1, April 2027.
ABSTRACT Esophagitis with marked eosinophilic infiltration, including eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), can rarely present with ulceration or stricture. We report a rare case of positron emission tomography–positive esophagitis with marked eosinophilic infiltration accompanied by ulceration and stricture, requiring differentiation from esophagogastric ...
