“…She was timely treated on antifungals and recovered. 11 Gastrointestinal mucormycosis can also involve liver, spleen, pancreas, and invade bowel walls and blood vessels. It is categorised into three forms: colonization, infiltration and vascular invasion.…”

“…Patients with iron overload (especially those receiving deferoxamine), profound immunosuppression (eg, recipients of allogeneic stem cell transplants having graft-versus-host disease treated with corticosteroids), or profound neutropenia and active leukemia are the classic groups at risk for disseminated mucormycosis. 10,11 Diagnosis depends on demonstration of the organism in the tissue. Newer diagnostic modalities include serology and multiplex PCR system.…”

Mucormycosis is rare but emerging fungal infection. In the past decade, it has emerged as an important lethal infection in diabetics and immunocompromised patients. Rhinosinusitis, pansinusitis, rhino-orbital and rhino cerebral forms constitute the classic manifestations of this fungus. Gastrointestinal mucormycosis is an uncommon disease with high mortality most often affecting patients with immunocompromised state. A very few cases of this disease have been described among patients with no risk factors and no known comorbidites. Our study attributes to one such case of invasive gastric mucormycosis diagnosed incidentally on histopathologic examination.

“…Perforation of the gastrointestinal tract is a severe and surgical emergency [15,16]. The incidence of acute abdominal disorders, including gastrointestinal perforation, has been reported to be 2.1% higher in patients undergoing long-term hemodialysis than in patients not undergoing dialysis [3,4,17].…”

Intracystic hemorrhage is a rare complication of multiple hepatic cysts and can lead to hemorrhagic shock. Hence, measures should be taken to prevent the rupture of cysts. The incidence of intestinal perforation is high in patients undergoing hemodialysis. The diagnosis can be difficult in a patient without typical symptoms. We report the case of a woman in her late 60s with multiple renal and hepatic cysts, which caused chronic renal failure managed with dialysis. She presented with abdominal pain and was diagnosed with intrahepatic cystic bleeding. Continuous intravenous fentanyl was administered for pain management, which temporarily alleviated pain, but abdominal pain recurred with increased intensity when she resumed feeding. Subsequently, a contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed perforation of the lower gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, in cases of intrahepatic cystic hemorrhage that require administration of analgesics, the complications of other diseases that may also cause acute abdominal pain should also be considered.

Background: Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is prevalent in almost all parts of the world. PUD complications are creating a major source of preventable health care expenses. The major factors responsible for the incidence of PUD and its complication have changed over the past few decades after the identification of non-steroidal inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and Helicobacter pylori bacterial infection along with a marked increase in the use of proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) as drug therapy. The management of PUD has become more complex and challenging due to antimicrobial resistance. Objective: The objective of the study was to highlight current therapy and novel techniques used in the treatment of peptic ulcer diseases. Methods: An exhaustive literature search has been conducted across PubMed, Google, Scopus and Web of Science as an electronic database to add the crucial information from the relevant literature. Results: In the present review, we have discussed PUD and its pathophysiology. The recent trends in PUD and possible treatments with novel techniques have also been discussed. The type and presence of ulcers cannot be predicted accurately based on symptoms. The available treatment approaches for peptic ulcers based on their clinical presentation and etiology are anti-secretary therapy, endoscopy to reveal ulcers followed by drug therapy, and triple therapy for H pylori infection. Conclusion: Thus, the popular and effective methods are very beneficial in controlling PUD. The treatment based on diagnosis is the foremost requirement for ameliorating any disorder. In this article, the emerging techniques and development in the treatment and diagnosis of PUD have been reviewed.
