Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST) are notoriously one of the most common mesenchymal tumours of the alimentary canal. Most commonly originating from the gastric stroma, they are recognized by their mass effects on the abdominal cavity. Recurrence frequently occurs with GIST and these tumours may become refractory to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Therefore, resection may be indicated for improved outcomes.

We present a 52-year-old African American male with a surgical history of GIST resection with recurrence that came to the emergency room with worsening diffuse abdominal pain. The tumour was refractory to two TKIs, Imatinib and Sunitinib. Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen and pelvis was done which showed severe metastatic disease with carcinomatosis, multiple dilated loops of small bowel in the left hemiabdomen without discrete transition point. After seventeen days on nasogastric tube, antiemetics, the patient worsened, and it was decided to go to surgery. In this report, attention is focused on the surgical approach of tumour debulking with subsequent Regorafenib therapy for decreased obstructive symptoms and improved quality of life.

This case serves as an example of the importance of surgical debulking in addition to molecular therapy for patients with severely extensive GISTs. Tumour debulking is important to decrease tumour burden, improve chemotherapeutic response and improve quality of life especially in persons refractory to pharmacological therapy.

This report is a case of proximal gastric outlet obstruction, misdiagnosed after esophagogastroduodenoscopy as invasive pancreatic malignancy. We report this case because of its rarity and to encourage physicians to take this etiology into consideration as part of differential diagnosis.

We present a case of 88 year-old lady presenting for 3 days history of post-prandial coffee ground vomiting associated with obstipation, misdiagnosed as pancreatic malignancy with duodenal invasion after outpatient gastroscopy. The proper diagnosis was confirmed by CT Scan which revealed the presence of large calculi with aerobilia and gastric stasis. Surgery done to extract two impacted large gallstone of 2 × 2 × 1 and 6 × 3.5 × 3 cm followed by cholecystectomy, closure of fistulae, gastrojejunsotomy and vagotomy.

Bouveret Syndrome is referred to as rare presentation of gastric outlet obstruction by passage of large gallstone through a fistula between the gallbladder and proximal gastrointestinal tract. Palbociclib It has a vague presentation, and can be misdiagnosed due to non-specific symptoms. The diagnosis is usually confirmed by a CT scan and it is treated surgically most of the time.

Bouveret syndrome is a rare entity, and should be taken into consideration as a differential diagnosis in front of proximal gastric outlet obstruction.

Neuromonitoring using plasmatic biomarkers such as S100B and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) represents a standard procedure for detecting cerebral damage after cardiac surgery. Their use in pediatric clinical assessment, however, is negligible.

The goal of this study was to evaluate the predictive role of S100B levels and cerebral oxygenation in postoperative pediatric cardiac patients for survival and potential cerebral injuries.

A retrospective cohort study of infants after cardiac surgery. Primary outcome was survival until discharge. Intra/postoperative vital signs and laboratory data were measured and statistically analyzed.

Seven out of 226 infants were non-survivors. Non-survivors had significantly lower cerebral saturation than survivors, as well as elevated S100B values at admission, associated with lower arterial pressure and higher serum lactate levels.

Although significant differences of S100B and crO
values between survivors and non-survivors were found, no critical thresholds could be established from the data. Nevertheless, changes from the norm in these parameters should raise awareness for critical clinical development.

However, there is growing theoretical and empirical support for the notion that the efficacy of emotion regulation strategies varies across situations. Thus, successful emotion regulation is characterized by the ability to flexibly choose between emotion regulation strategies in order to fit one's situational needs. Despite growing support for this conceptualization of successful emotion regulation, no research has investigated it in relation to disordered eating. Using the emotion regulation choice paradigm, this study investigated the association between emotion regulation flexibility and disordered eating. Women (N = 50) completed self-report questionnaires and a laboratory-based emotion regulation choice task to assess emotion regulation flexibility. Results indicated that lower emotion regulation flexibility was associated with more frequent purging and excessive exercise. Emotion regulation flexibility was not significantly associated with binge eating or overall eating disorder psychopathology. These findings suggest that individuals who engage in unhealthy compensatory behaviors exhibit reduced emotion regulation flexibility. If replicated in clinical samples, treatment for eating disorders characterized by compensatory behaviors may benefit from incorporating additional strategies to help people utilize emotion regulation strategies in a flexible, situationally appropriate manner.
