The Next Accreditation System requires training programs to demonstrate competence among trainees. Within gastroenterology (GI), there are limited data describing learning curves and structured assessment of in esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) colonoscopy. In this study, the authors aimed feasibility a centralized feedback system assess endoscopy GI trainees EGD colonoscopy.During academic year 2016-2017, performed prospective multicenter cohort inviting participants from multiple programs....
Acute esophageal necrosis (AEN) is an uncommon disease characterized by gastrointestinal bleeding and endoscopic findings of circumferential black-colored the distal esophagus. Patients at risk include elderly males over age 65, who typically have multiple chronic medical issues including vascular diabetes. Mortality reported to be 32%. Here, we present a case AEN in renal transplant patient describe potential inciting factors such as immunosuppression opportunistic diseases.
Fluoroscopy is often used during the endoscopic drainage of pancreatic-fluid collections (PFCs). An electrocautery-enhanced coaxial lumen-apposing, self-expanding metal stent (ELAMS) facilitates a single-step procedure and may avoid need for fluoroscopy. This study compares treatment outcomes using ELAMS with without fluoroscopy.Patients PFCs who had cystogastrostomy from January 2014 to February 2017 were enrolled. Two groups studied based on fluoroscopy use. Technical success was defined...
Double aortic arch is a common form of complete vascular ring that encircles both the trachea and esophagus, presents with various respiratory esophageal symptoms, usually in pediatric population.We present case double an adult patient manifested as massive upper gastrointestinal bleeding after prolonged nasogastric intubation.
Introduction:Hyperthyroidism is a known cause of nonspecific abnormalities in liver biochemitries; most commonly mild elevations serum bilirubin and enzymes.Case Report: A case severe cholestatic jaundice secondary to Grave's disease.The patient 28yearold AfricanAmerican male who presented the emergency room with chronic diarrhea, weight loss jaundice.At presentation, his enzymes were elevated pattern was 21.4 mg/dL.Upon treatment propranolol propylthouracil, pruritus, jaundice, quickly...
Breast cancer treatment has made remarkable progress in recent years, resulting improved survival rates.Radiotherapy is an integral part of the plan for most patients with breast cancer, as it effectively reduces local recurrence and improves overall survival.But radiotherapy can cause damage to heart surrounding structures, leading long-term cardiovascular complications, including coronary artery disease, failure, valvular dysfunction.The severity cardiotoxicity depends
Purpose: A 21 year old female was transferred to our hospital for the management of hyperbilirubinemia in setting a recent diagnosis Hodgkin's disease. Upon initial assessment, laboratory workup revealed cholestasis with elevated transaminases, alkaline phosphatase, and no coagulopathy. The rest negative. Abdominal imaging Her bilirubin continued rise, liver biopsy showed pericentral mild non-specific lobular inflammation. She started on prednisone gradual taper. Six weeks into treatment,...
Purpose: A 38 year old patient was transferred to our hospital for the management of tricuspid valve endocarditis. She had a history intravenous drug use and been treated 2 weeks with antibiotics but eventually required valvular replacement. On post operative day 11, she developed massive upper gastrointestinal bleed. An urgent endoscopy showed large esophageal ulcer probable visible vessel at 22 cm from gums. Endoscopic therapy epinephrine injections performed. Two hours later, bled again,...
Introduction: With the launch of NAS, GI fellowship programs (GIFPs) need to assess and document competence in EGD colonoscopy among fellows (GIFs) a continuous fashion demonstrate readiness for independent practice. The primary aim this study was learning curves (LCs) GIFs enrolled 3-year GIFP. secondary feasibility creating centralized database provide individualized feedback during training. Methods: Accredited GIFPs were invited participate. evaluated on 5 consecutive EGDs colonoscopies...
Purpose: We report a case of polymyositis (PM) associated with esophageal cancer. This presentation is rare Methods: A 63 year old white gentleman presented to the our medical center symptoms progressive worsening in his ability initiate swallow, difficulty standing up from sitting position without use upper extremities and combing hair. These were progressive. He reported mild weight loss. had bilateral symmetrical muscle weakness. His laboratory tests significant for an elevated creatine...

A 65-year old female with history of hypertension presented to an outside hospital four months progressive dyspnea and generalized edema. After a negative work up, including endoscopy, she was transferred our facility for further evaluation. On arrival, hemodynamically stable but hypoxic (oxygen saturation 92% on 5 L via nasal cannula). Exam notable anasarca absent breath sounds the left side. Labs were remarkable bicarbonate 41 mmol/L, albumin 1.7 g/dL, INR 0.83, total bilirubin normal...
