Abstract Background and study aims Localized approaches are being increasingly used in the management of early gastric adenocarcinoma; however, there limited data on lymph node metastasis US population. This examined incidence predictors involvement for early-stage adenocarcinomas USA. Patients methods Data were abstracted from national SEER database 2004 to 2013. Exclusion criteria included: cases with unknown tumor characteristics, patient metastatic disease, neoadjuvant radiation, lack...
INTRODUCTION: The coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic disrupted endoscopy practices, creating unprecedented decreases in cancer screening and surveillance services. We aimed to assess the impact of on proportion patients diagnosed with Barrett's esophagus (BE) BE-related dysplasia adherence established quality indicators. METHODS: Data from all esophagogastroduodenoscopies GI Quality Improvement Consortium, a national repository matched pathology data, were analyzed January 2018...
The management of Barrett’s esophagus (BE) with low-grade dysplasia (BE-LGD) remains a unique challenge. Those challenges include high interobserver variability among pathologists, variable natural history BE-LGD and neoplastic progression, the lack established validated risk prediction tools to guide patients BE-LGD. Current guidelines recommend patient-centered approach acknowledge endoscopic eradication therapy surveillance are acceptable strategies. Emerging assessment incorporating...
Plastic biliary stents are commonly placed during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography for various indications, and stent-related complications uncommon. We describe a case in which plastic stent migrated proximally through the liver capsule diaphragm after cholangiopancreatography, leading to pericardial effusion cardiac tamponade. It is important clinicians managing patients with be aware of this significant adverse event.
Introduction: Gout is an inflammatory disorder of uric acid metabolism that commonly presents as painful swelling peripheral joints. Polarized microscopy fluid obtained via arthrocentesis involved joints classically shows needle-shaped, negatively birefringent crystals. Occasionally, gout affects the abdominal viscera including colon, pelvis, and kidneys. Herein we describe a patient with pain due to pancreatic (PG). Case Description/Methods: A 57-year-old male history hyperlipidemia...
