    Abstract Diabetes and diabetic nephropathy have become more prevalent in the elderly population. Diabetic nephropathy has become increasingly prevalent in the elderly population. The presence of this disease in an age group suffering multiple comorbidities has altered the pathophysiology and leading cause of mortality. Mortality has become linked more often to cardiovascular events rather than progression of end-stage-renal-disease, which explains the recent shift of focus of trials to improving cardiovascular-outcomes in patients with diabetes. In this chapter, we emphasize the difference in treatment modalities and goals of therapy in elderly versus young. In addition, we discuss results from recent outcome trials with regards to renal benefits of sodium-glucose co-transporter-2-inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1-receptor-agonists.

    Abstract Introduction: Adenolipoma is a relatively recently described lesion representing a rare variant of lipoma in which eccrine glands and ducts are found interspersed amongst mature adipose tissue. This benign lesion was first described by Hitchcock et al. in 1993 [J Am Acad Dermatol 1993; 29: 82-85]. The next case series was written by Ait-Ourhrouil and Grosshans [Ann Dermatol Venerol 1997; 124: 845-848] in which they deemed adenolipoma a misnomer based on the pathophysiology of the lesion and suggested the name peri-sudoral lipoma instead. According to our knowledge, this case series would be the third in the literature to report cases of adenolipoma in an attempt to increase awareness of this entity.
    Methods: We performed a retrospective review of adenolipoma cases from 2004 to 2014 at our institute.
    Results and conclusions: Upon review of all adenolipomas diagnosed at our institute between 2004 and 2014, 11 cases in total were identified. Histologically, these lesions consisted of an admixture of adult-like adipose tissue and scattered eccrine glands and ducts. 4 cases also showed areas of myxoid changes; 2 showed scattered mast cells amongst the adipose tissue, and only 1 showed the presence of apocrine glands in addition to the eccrine glands and ducts. The female to male ratio was 6: 5. The typical age ranged from 41 to 53 years. Adenolipomas were seen arising from various locations including the thighs, gluteal region, lower leg, shoulder, chest, and trunk. The majority of cases were not fully encapsulated and the size varied from 0.7 to 5.8 cm.

    Abstract Endobronchial ultrasound with transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) is commonly performed for the evaluation of mediastinal lymphadenopathy. Purulent pericarditis is a rare, yet potentially fatal complication of TBNA. It commonly presents with nonspecific symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, or vague abdominal discomfort. Additionally, more severe symptoms such as cardiac tamponade and even death have been reported. In this article, we present the case of a 58-year-old male who developed purulent pericardial effusion with tamponade thought to be caused by TBNA cytology. This case raises an important question regarding the current guidelines for prophylactic antibiotic treatment for patients at high risk of developing purulent pericarditis as a complication of TBNA.

    Abstract Background: Swallowing disorders are frequently reported esophageal symptoms and represent a common cause for referrals to gastroenterology consultations. Esophageal high-resolution manometry (HRM) is considered the gold standard modality for the evaluation of esophageal peristalsis and esophageal sphincter. The standard protocol of HRM includes water swallows only, that may not assess appropriately esophageal function and symptoms. Hence, we investigated the diagnostic yield of combining solid food swallows (SFS) to standard HRM.
    Methods: We conducted a retrospective study at the Unit of Gastroenterology of EMMS Nazareth Hospital, Israel. Patients who underwent manometry mainly due to dysphagia or reflux symptoms between November 2019 and November 2020 were enrolled. All patients underwent routine HRM and completed ten 5 mL water swallows and 5 bread swallows. Analysis and reports were done by an expert gastroenterologist, based on the Chicago Classification version 3.
    Results: Overall, 99 patients (45.5% men, mean age 52.1±16 years) who underwent HRM were included. The addition of solid swallows to the test changed manometry results in 43 patients (43.4%) (P<0.005). Furthermore, SFS improved the contractility in 26/42 cases of ineffective and/or absent motility (61%) (P<0.005). Finally, SFS aggravated symptoms in 44 patients (44.6% more aggravation than in liquid only) (P<0.005).
    Conclusions: Combining SFS to HRM can improve the diagnostic yield of the study. Adding solid swallows is of special value in cases of ineffective esophageal motility but induces a high rate of symptoms aggravation.

    Abstract Mullerianosis is a rare entity consisting of an admixture of 2 or more of the following tissues: endometriosis, endocervicosis, and endosalpingiosis. It most commonly affects the urinary bladder and affects females of fertile age. It presents clinically as hematuria, dysuria, and pelvic pain which may be associated with menstruation. Radiologically and macroscopically, it typically presents as a polypoid mass in the dome or posterior wall of the bladder. Histologically, it consists of glands of varying size lined by endometrial, endocervical, or tubal epithelium. Mullerianosis clinically and histologically mimics other benign and malignant lesions. Herein we report a case of mullerianosis of the urinary bladder. This is a rare lesion with less than 20 cases reported in the literature thus far. We believe raising awareness of this poorly recognized entity is of utmost significance in order to avoid misdiagnosis and the following unnecessary radical procedures.
