BACKGROUND Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have shown that endoscopic haemostasis is beneficial for patients with a bleeding peptic ulcer. The relevance of such data to management outside of RCTs is unclear. Therefore we examined management of patients with a bleeding peptic ulcer in a UK teaching hospital. METHODS All patients who underwent upper gastrointestinal (UGI) endoscopy for blee...

Neonatal hypertension is a rare and complex condition, with an incidence rate of 0.2% to 3%. It can be resulted by several risk factors such as renal diseases, use of several drugs, neurologic, cardiac, respiratory and endocrine causes. Gestational age, birth weight and conceptual age are the most important risk factors. Renal diseases can be found in about 25% to 50% of hypertension at neonata...

The incidence of rectal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) has increased by almost ten-fold over the past 30 years. There has been a heightened awareness of the malignant potential of rectal NETs. Fortunately, many rectal NETs are discovered at earlier stages due to colon cancer screening programs. Endoscopic ultrasound is useful in assessing both residual tumor burden after retrospective diagnosis a...
