In this study, we aim to determine the safety and feasibility of an alcohol-free approach pancreatic cyst ablation using a chemotherapeutic cocktail.In prospective, randomized, double-blinded pilot 10 patients with known mucinous type cysts underwent endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided fine needle aspiration then lavage either 80 % ethanol or normal saline. Both groups were treated cocktail paclitaxel gemcitabine. Primary outcomes reduction in volume rates complications.At 6 months,...
Per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is a recommended treatment modality for achalasia, but there little published data its use in children. The objective of the present study was to evaluate whether POEM clinically effective and safe children.International multicenter retrospective conducted 14 tertiary centers that included consecutive children who underwent between January 2012 August 2018. Outcomes, such as clinical response were assessed whenever available. Adverse events factors...
Background: Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) is a minimally invasive therapy for patients with gastric outlet obstruction without the risks of surgical bypass and limited long-term efficacy enteral self-expanding metal stent placement. However, due to its novelty, there lack significant data comparing outcomes EUS-GE, based on underlying disease. In this study, we compare EUS-GE benign versus malignant indications. Methods: Consecutive from 12 international,...
<b>Background</b> Flexible endoscopic myotomy has been increasingly performed for Zenker's diverticulum using various techniques and devices. The main aims of this study were to assess practice patterns compare outcomes diverticulum. <b>Methods</b> Procedures at 12 tertiary endoscopy centers from 1/2012 12/2018 reviewed. Patients (≥ 18 years) with who had dysphagia and/or regurgitation underwent included. Outcomes assessed included technical success, clinical adverse events. <b>Results</b>...
Direct percutaneous endoscopic necrosectomy has been described as a minimally invasive intervention for the debridement of walled-off pancreatic necrosis (WOPN). In this retrospective cohort study, we aimed to confirm these findings in US referral center and evaluate clinical value modality treatment well other types intra-abdominal fluid collections necrosis.Twelve consecutive patients with WOPN or abdominal abscess requiring washout underwent computed tomography (CT)-guided drainage...
Lower GI bleeding is a common cause for hospitalization in adults. Medication-associated mucosal injury an important clinical entity that can result significant morbidity and mortality. We present the case of 45-year-old woman with 3-month history intermittent abdominal cramping rectal bleeding. Her medical was extensive included end-stage renal disease remote endometrial carcinoma treated radiation. Initial workup concerning ischemic radiation colitis, however, histology most consistent...
Pancreatic cancer has known precursor lesions with potential to develop into malignancy over time. At least 20% of pancreatic evolves from mucinous cystic neoplasms and intraductal papillary neoplasms, which are often discovered incidentally.1Distler M. Aust D.

Abstract Background In this paper, we report the health related quality of life (HRQOL) data from patients with hepatitis C viral infection (HCV) who were refractory to prior therapy and had re-treatment a combination Pegylated interferon alpha-2b ribavirin. We hypothesized that HRQOL will improve in those attain sustained response similar naïve undergoing treatment for HCV. Methods was obtained 152 enrolled into randomized study HCV The protocol 48 weeks high low dose arm. collected at...
