Small Bowel Lesions and Bleeding Risk in Hemodialysis Patients: A Narrative Review

Hemodialysis International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Gastrointestinal bleeding is very common among hemodialysis patients. This high bleeding risk is caused by uremic platelet dysfunction, vascular fragility, intradialytic hemodynamic instability, and widespread antithrombotic therapy.

Endoscopic‐Assisted Transcervical Excision of Second Branchial Cleft Anomalies in Young Children

The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 9, Page 4039-4042, September 2026.
We describe an endoscopic‐assisted transcervical technique for excision of second branchial cleft anomalies in young children. In three cases (ages 2–8), this approach allowed safe identification and ligation of the tracts while providing improved visualization and allowing smaller incisions.
