Gastric necrosis represents a rare condition and available literature is mostly in the form of case-reports being clinically under-recognized and therefore not diagnosed at an early stage. It is also a disease for which a definitive treatment has not yet been established since it can vary significantly from a conservative medical management to and aggressive surgical management, depending on the patient´s general conditions and medical history.

Cocaine, a potent stimulant derived from coca plant leaves, is well-documented for its adverse cardiovascular effects. Among these complications, thrombosis has gained prominence as a significant concern, leading to thrombotic events in various vascular beds throughout the body, highlighting cocaine’s systemic pro-thrombotic impact. However, its role in hepatic vascular disorders remains relatively underrecognized. This case report details the clinical presentation of a 23-year-old male with Budd-Chiari syndrome linked to cocaine use disorder, emphasizing the critical need for healthcare providers to recognize hepatic vascular disorders as possible outcomes of cocaine abuse.

Man, by chance, discovered that a tree leaf, placed on the body “in a poor state”, to heal a disease, performed its task, so herbs and plants were the first medicines of man as well as products animals and minerals. Primitive medicine was born with the creation of the world handed down with drawings in numerous caves and caverns from all peoples, from Asia to Africa to the Americas, with paleopathology it was able to trace the diseases from human fossil remains.

Amyand’s hernia is a rare condition consisting of the presence of the vermiform appendix within the hernia sac in the inguinal region. Despite not being frequent, or rarely reported, it deserves attention for proper care. Its involvement is more frequent in men of any age group and often goes unrecorded because the content of the hernial sac is reduced even before its identification.

Background: Lower gastrointestinal bleeding can cause a life-threatening condition especially in the elderly with multiple comorbidities. Whilst some infectious colitis can cause bloody diarrhea, usually the blood loss is minimal and does not require an endoscopic intervention. Case Presentation: In this report, we present a case of a 64-year-old Lebanese female with multiple comorbidities including renal failure on hemodialysis, hypertension and multiple myeloma on chemotherapy who presented for an acute episode of lower GI bleeding as a result of an antibiotic associated colitis by clostridium difficile infection. Conclusion: Therefore, we should be vigilant about infectious colitis as a cause of GI bleeding in the immunosuppressed individuals and elderly with multiple comorbidities.

This literature review aims to analyze the surgical treatment of enteroatmospheric fistula (EAF) and its effectiveness. Based on studies carried out from 2013 to 2022 in the PubMed, Google Academic, and Medline databases to analyze the surgical technique of the case report and compare it with other literature. The enteroatmospheric fistula (EAF), as its name indicates, is defined as an opening that connects the gastrointestinal tract and the atmosphere, located in an open abdomen, being a consequence of abdominal surgeries, traumas, perforations, ischemia, and leakage of the anastomosis after surgery. The amount of time the abdomen stays open is directly related to the risk of EAF. That is, the longer the time with the abdomen open, the more significant the risk of EAF. Among the types of fistulas, those with a high volume (>500mL) are considered the most lethal. Spontaneous closure is complex and rare, as there is not an abundance of vascularized tissue in the region, in addition to the fact that the tissue is in constant contact with the contents of the gastrointestinal tract, causing tissue irritation and delaying healing speed. Surgical procedures may be necessary

Obesity is a disease related to severe metabolic comorbidities due to the high accumulation of body fat. In the context of this pandemic, bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for the long-term resolution of the disease, having both structural and anatomic and hormonal effects on the gastrointestinal tract. The hormones analyzed in this review are cholecystokinin, secrete, gastrin, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), peptide YY, pancreatic polypeptide, leptin, adiponectin, ghrelin, glucose, cholesterol, gastric inhibitory peptide, insulin, and glucagon. After bariatric procedures, changes in vitamins and micronutrients are also observed, which can lead to anemia, changes in coagulation, bone metabolism, neurological, and immunological deficiencies.
