Simvastatin as an Adjunct to Standard Therapy for Variceal Bleeding in Cirrhosis
Introduction Variceal bleeding remains one of the most serious and life-threatening complications of liver cirrhosis, often associated with high rates of rebleeding and mortality despite standard therapy. Current clinical practice relies on non-selective beta blockers and endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL), yet outcomes remain suboptimal for many patients. Recent clinical research has explored whether adding statinsknown…

Unraveling the Genetic Link: Recurrent Pancreatitis and CFTR Heterozygous Mutation
IntroductionRecurrent pancreatitis can pose significant diagnostic challenges, especially when traditional risk factors are absent. Recent findings highlight the role of genetic mutations in disease predisposition. One such mutation involves the CFTR (Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator) gene, typically associated with cystic fibrosis. Emerging evidence suggests that heterozygous CFTR mutations may contribute to recurrent pancreatitis, as…

Uncommon Gastrointestinal Bleeding in a Patient with Portal Vein Thrombosis: A Case Review
IntroductionGastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) is a serious condition that often requires immediate medical attention. While common causes include peptic ulcers and variceal bleeding, rare conditions such as portal vein thrombosis (PVT) can also lead to obscure GIB. A recent case study published in Archives of Case Reports sheds light on an unusual presentation of upper GIB…
