Abstract: This review considers the role of meridian therapies, such as acupuncture, moxibustion, marma and hijama, in treatment of patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and the difficulties of designing clinical trials to assess their effectiveness. The issue of distinguishing case from non-case because of a lack of a uniform and consistent definition of the disease together with choice of appropriate placebos are analysed and the “rituals of healing” associated with such therapies considered.

Abstract: The increased risk of gastric cancer (GC) in Lynch syndrome is well established. In their manuscript Saulino, et al. further support the hypothesis, previously put forward by Adar, et al. of a causative relationship between MSH2 mutation (as observed in mismatch repair-related Lynch syndrome) and autoimmune gastritis, and -as a consequence- between autoimmune gastritis and gastric adenocarcinoma. In a retrospective series of 562 histologically consistent, serologically confirmed autoimmune gastritis, we detected neoplastic lesions (both non-invasive and invasive) in only 4 high-stage gastritis patients (Operative Link on Gastritis Assessment [OLGA] stages III and IV), 3 of whom with a history of H. pylori infection

Abstract: Hemobilia, defined as the hemorrhage into the biliary tract and blood clots in the bile duct is an uncommon cause of severe cholangitis. The majority of hemobilia are caused by iatrogenic and trauma, gallstones, inflammation, vascular disorders, and malignancy. Hemobilia can cause recurrent obstructive cholangitis and it may bring a fatal patient’s condition. The management of major hemobilia consists of hemostasis and reduction of biliary pressure to prevent or cure a cholangitis occurred in succession. Angiography and interventional radiologic intervention is regarded as the gold standard for diagnosis and treatment, respectively. However, the management of the cholangitis after hemobilia was technically challenging requiring multiple therapeutic choices including endoscopic approach. A further research is needed in this area.

Abstract: A 66-year-old male patient with hypertension and diabetes mellitus presented for a screening colonoscopy. He had no gastrointestinal complaints, namely no abdominal pain, change in bowel habits, rectal bleeding or anal itching. Colonoscopy showed diffuse diverticular disease throughout the colon. Upon retroflexion in the rectum, a 3 mm cerebriform, pale polypoid lesion was seen just proximal to the dentate line (Figure 1). After closer inspection of the lesion and use of i-scan, this lesion appeared broad based and had a rubbery surface (Figure 2).
