"Re: Khalid A, Obadele OG, Alabi TO, Nedjim SA, Abdulwahab-Ahmed A, Mungadi IA. Practical approach to the review of bladder diverticulum and its management. World J Clin Urol 2026; 15(1): 114046 [DOI: 10.5410/wjcu.v15.i1.114046] The authors report on “Practical approach to the review of bladder diverticulum and its management” The article, which provides a combination of literature review and personal experience, included a detailed discussion of the definition, etiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment of bladder diverticulum. The following comments can be of benefit for future considerations: 1.The causes and treatment of bladder diverticulum in children are different from those in adults. So, it would have been better to focus on either of them. 2. The authors stated that “For example, in boys with posterior urethral valves, these diverticula can serve as a pressure relief mechanism to protect the kidneys from damage and maintain bladder function”. In this context, is it possible to treat these diverticula conservatively without active surgical intervention? If the answer is yes, what are the indications. 3. It would have been better to include the pros and cons of the different surgical techniques, namely, extravesical, intravesical, or transdiverticular. Are they comparable? [1,2] 4. Among the active treatment options of bladder diverticulum is transurethral electrovaporization of the diverticular mucosa. It would have been better to include it among the endoscopic treatment procedures [3]. 5. Is there a difference in the outcome between staged treatment versus concomitant treatment of the cause and the resulting secondary diverticulum, for example in cases with BOO? [4] 6. In cases of female diverticulum, which are very close to the urethra, what are the recommended tips and tricks [5]. References [1]. Perri D, Roche JB, Petrut B, Bozzini G.

It begins with sudden abdominal pain, vomiting, and fever, and progresses to ulcers, perforation, and necrosis, so early diagnosis by CT and prompt immunosuppressive therapy, such as steroid pulse therapy, are essential. Surgical treatment: If perforation or necrosis is observed, emergency surgery to remove the affected area is required.

"1) Ethics - meets requirements («The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of National Cancer Center/Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College in accordance with the ethical standards outlined in the 1964 Helsinki Declaration») 2) Methods - revision required. Key concerns: - Subjective criteria for SSA administration The SSA-treated group includes zero patients with perineural invasion, but the endoscopy-alone group has 1 patient. Lymphovascular invasion was present in both groups (10.5% vs 9.6%), but no clear criteria for SSA initiation are provided. This distribution is clinically illogical and indicates selection bias. - Deviation from international guidelines (ENETS/NCCN) 73.4% of patients had tumors ≤ 10 mm without muscularis propria invasion. Current guidelines do not recommend adjuvant SSA therapy in this low-risk population. A substantial proportion of SSA-treated patients may have received overtreatment. Required revisions: Provide an objective, reproducible algorithm for SSA allocation. Perform a subgroup analysis of low-risk patients (≤10 mm, G1, no LVI/PNI). 3) Results - revision required. • The authors state: «However, endoscopic treatment removes lesions without addressing the underlying pathogenesis, allowing gastrin to continue stimulating neuroendocrine cell growth. Therefore, G-NETs may recur after endoscopic treatment». However, gastrin levels were not measured in this study. As a result: the suppressive effect of SSAs on gastrin was not documented and a direct correlation between gastrin reduction and improved outcomes could not be established. • Presented descriptively (n = 27, 6 mutations), with no integration into the main prognostic analysis. It is unclear how these data correlate with the risk of progression or response to therapy. This section appears redundant and detracts from the main clinical conclusions. 4) Figures and tables – good, minor issues Tables 1–4 and Figures 2–4 are clear, well-structured, and properly labeled. Figure 5: Descriptive genetic data only; not integrated into prognostic analysis. Limited relevance to main findings. Recommend moving to Supplementary Materials. 5) Biostatistics - adequate. LASSO and Cox regression correctly used, but no sample size calculation, wide CIs, and potential immortal time bias—acknowledge in limitations. 6) References - good Relevant, up-to-date, no over-citation. 7) Language – good Clear, concise, grammatically correct. 8) Caveats or drawbacks • Retrospective single-center design with inherent selection bias: SSA allocation was subjective and no reproducible algorithm provided. • Deviation from guidelines: 73.4% of patients had low-risk where adjuvant SSAs are not routinely recommended — potential overtreatment. • No gastrin data: The proposed mechanism (SSAs suppress gastrin) remains unverified; correlation between SSA use and reduced progression is statistical, not mechanistically proven. • Genetic data (Figure 5): Descriptive only, not integrated into prognostic analysis; limited relevance to main clinical conclusions.

"Peroxiredoxin 1 (Prdx1) has recently been shown to effectively inhibit the growth of colon cancer in experimental carcinogenesis in mice. The anticancer activity of this substance is based on pyroptosis. Pyroptosis is a key component of cell death. It directly suppresses the tumor by promoting gasdermin D-induced cell lysis and by releasing inflammatory factors that affect the so-called “cell death-anti-tumor immunity”. Peroxiredoxin 1 warrants further investigation for the development of co-expression markers (Prdx1/GSDMD). Furthermore, as the authors note, the efficacy of combination therapies targeting rPrdx1 should be studied promptly to promote personalized treatment of colon cancer." [Collapse]

" Importantly, the authors of this study identified that prolonged disease duration and anxiety are independent high-risk factors for refractory GERD. Anti-anxiety interventions, standardized exercise prescriptions, and lifestyle factors such as sleep and weight management should be explored as a multidimensional risk-targeted intervention. However, in the real world, we have to distinguish between true refractory GERD and refractory reflux-like symptoms. A systematic evaluation of the patients is essential, as up to 40% of patients with GERD report inadequate symptom control with PPIs, but only a minority have true refractory GERD. Therefore, we should evaluate multiple aspects of the patient's behavior (e.g., optimizing PPI therapy, ensuring correct timing, increasing to twice-daily dosing, or switching to a different PPI) before proceeding with exercise prescriptions and anti-anxiety interventions. Moreover, alternative pharmacologic options, including Histamine-2 receptor antagonists (administered at bedtime for nocturnal symptoms, though tachyphylaxis limits long-term efficacy), potassium-competitive acid blockers, alginates and antacids, prokinetic agents, neuromodulators, bile acid sequestrants, and lifestyle modifications, should be tried in these patients, indicating that individualized, multidisciplinary care is essential.

"The paper is interesting and fits well with the body of work addressing nontraditional factors causing myocardial infarction. In particular the discussion is well written. I don't know if I've missed it, but I haven't seen a correlation between myocardial infarction and ethnicity. In Europe ethnicity is an important factor, given that Asian populations have a higher incidence of myocardial infarction at young ages." [Collapse]

"Obese people are prone to GERD and SG increases the frequency of GERD after surgery, so SG is worth considering for those with GERD. RYDG and OAB are good weight loss surgeries without the risk of GERD. For patients with GERD, the surgical procedure should be selected as suggested by authors." [Collapse]

"Obesity is associated with a high proportion of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). In recent years, metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) has been considered the most effective treatment for weight loss in obese patients. The most commonly performed surgical procedures are sleeve gastrectomy (SG), Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), and single-anastomotic gastric bypass (OAGB). MBS has different effects on obesity-related GERD depending on the type of procedure performed. The results suggest that RYGB consistently leads to significant improvement or remission of GERD symptoms, reduced HCl exposure, and reduced need for PPI therapy in obese patients. RYGB and OAGB are more effective than SG for weight loss and GERD control. RYGB is therefore the preferred bariatric procedure for obese patients with clinically evident GERD. SG is associated with a higher risk of new onset or worsening of GERD, an increased incidence of erosive esophagitis, and an increased risk of Barrett's esophagus. The pathophysiology of these effects is multifactorial and involves changes in gastric anatomy and lower esophageal sphincter function. Therefore, the choice of the type of surgical procedure that should be performed must be individualized, with RYGB being preferred in obese patients with significant GERD or Barrett's esophagus, while SG can be performed in patients without reflux symptoms but requires careful preoperative assessment of GERD risk. The aforementioned data should be taken seriously and guide the physician and patient with obesity and GERD towards making the right surgical decisions." [Collapse]

"Fatigue is a frequent and particularly burdensome symptom with significant impact on the quality of life of patients with Crohn's disease. In daily medical practice, its treatment is often inadequate since it is usually attributed to side effects of the drugs administered to treat the underlying disease or to psychological causes. The study under review found that indeed, psychological symptoms such as depression, anxiety, stress of any cause, and insomnia are related to its occurrence. In particular, stress is likely to induce the symptom through probable immunological effects. Of interest was the frequent occurrence of fatigue with increased white blood cell count. It therefore seems that fatigue in patients with Crohn's disease has a multifactorial etiology, not exclusively attributable to disease activity or inflammatory markers. As the researchers pointed out, fatigue among IBD patients should receive greater attention in the near future. By conducting additional relevant studies, we will be able to accurately identify the factors that contribute to fatigue, enabling us to develop and implement strategies to effectively identify and support patients experiencing fatigue."

"The editorial article summarizes current knowledge and clinical approaches to the diagnosis and management of cancer-related incomplete intestinal obstruction (CRIO). Given the multifactorial and complex pathophysiology of CRIO, it is inherently challenging to comprehensively describe all clinical conditions. Nevertheless, the authors successfully present a well-structured and comprehensive overview by organizing the discussion into a clear and logical framework." [Collapse]

"This article provides an interesting topic, with valuable first-hand information. There were also some notable limitations, as addressed in the following: Of the “Abstract”. The aim does not match well the conclusion. Some “Keywords” are not adequate. “Metagenomic next-generation sequencing” should be moved from “Keywords”. There was no “analysis” or associated description in the “Methods” of the “Abstract”, and this is not adequate. The “Results” in “Abstract” were not consistent with the “Methods” of the “Abstract”. There was no gold standard (guidelines) and criteria for the diagnosis of pulmonary nocardiosis in the “Materials and Methods”. The imaging characteristics (Table 4) were not complete, and which should include a complex item comprising two or more imaging characteristics of the lungs . A total of the pulmonary nocardiosis caused by different species in Table 4 was not 102. The pulmonary nocardiosis treated by different medications in Table 5 was not clear, some patients treated using more than one medications, and the total number was not 102. Figure 1 was not necessary, and associated information can be listed in table or presented in text. Images of pulmonary nocardiosis were not sufficient, and more other representative images had better be added. The English is not professionalism. The “Conclusion” that “Nocardia pneumonia commonly coexists with bronchiectasis. Although mNGS has greatly enhanced its detection rate, N. wallacei pneumonia is distinguished on chest CT by its primary presentation of bronchopneumonia, unlike other types.” was not adequate, and it was not well matching the contents of the “Results”."
