Olmesartan drug-induced enteropathy was first reported 10 years ago. Its physiopathology remains largely unknown and its evocation facing diarrhea is still not systematic, especially in cases of acute and severe diarrhea episodes. In this paper, we report the case of a 71-year-old woman presenting with acute diarrhea associated with complete duodenal mucosal villous atrophy with lymphocytic infiltration.

A 30-year-old woman presented with 6-month history of blood-stained stools. The patient denied a family history of colon cancer. Examination was remarkable for blood-streaked stool.

Introduction: Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is the most common disease of the stomach and duodenum, which affects daily life and is associated with Helicobacter pylori and drug-induced problems. PHD occurs due to increased aggressive factors (like HCl, gastrin, pepsin, etc.) and decreased protective factors (like mucosa secretion, and prostaglandin activity). According to recent research, up to 10% of the global population suffers with PUD. 

Background: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided tissue acquisition (EUS-TA) is a well-established diagnostic tool to obtain tissue from solid pancreatic masses, gastrointestinal subepithelial lesions, lymph nodes, liver as well as other neighboring organs. EUS-TA has proven to have a major clinical impact in diagnosis and staging, decreasing the need for invasive diagnostic procedures, such as thoracoscopy, mediastinoscopy, laparoscopy and open surgery.

Histopathology, defined as study of diseased cells and tissues is the science dealing with the study of biopsies and tissues under the microscope to form a possible diagnosis based on the morphology of the cells and surrounding tissues [1].

Background: There were well-known racial/ethnic differences in colorectal cancer (CRC) screening in the United States (US). 
Aims: To study the rate of CRC screening recommendation for individuals not up-to-date on screening and whether there were racial/ethnic differences in recommendation. 
Data and Methods: All adults 50 to 75 years old in the 2021 National Health Interview Survey who were not up-to-date on CRC screening were included. The rate of CRC screening recommendation in the past 12 months was calculated for non-Hispanic Whites, Blacks/African Americans, Hispanics, and Asians respectively. Multivariate logistic regression was used to examine racial/ethnic differences in CRC screening recommendation, controlling for demographic and socioeconomic variables (age, sex, immigrant, college education and insured).
