Background and study aims The Full-Thickness Resection Device (FTRD) provides a novel treatment option for lesions not amenable to conventional endoscopic resection techniques. There are limited data on the efficacy safety of FTRD upper gastrointestinal tract (GIT) lesions. Patients methods This was an international multicenter retrospective study, including patients who had GIT lesion using between January 2017 February 2019. Results Fifty-six from 13 centers were included. most common...
The aims of this study were to evaluate whether serum pancreatic enzyme levels could be used aid screening for chronic pancreatitis (CP).170 healthy volunteers screened and prospectively enrolled in the control group. 150 patients who diagnosed with calcific CP patient group by retrospective review. Serum amylase lipase compared between 2 groups.The mean values ± SD those level (48.1 13.2 vs 34.8 17.2 U/L, P < 0.001) (26.4 11.3 16.3 11.2 0.001). On receiver operating characteristic curve...
Objectives Distinguishing neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) and other pancreas lesions from adenocarcinomas via endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) requires additional tissue for special staining processing. Our aim was to determine if main pancreatic duct (PD) diameter on EUS helps differentiate NET unusual adenocarcinoma. Methods We evaluated 30 consecutive patients diagnosed with or by 90 matched who were found have Dilated PD defined as greater than 3 mm. Multivariate logistic regression used...
Purpose: Disseminated Coccidioides immitis (C.immitis) occurs in ˜1% of patients infected with C. immitis, rare spread to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Reports involvement include liver and peritoneal cavity. We present a case extra-pulmonary colonic involvement.FigureCase report: A 51-year-old Hispanic male HIV (last CD4 230) on Atripla presented his primary doctor month's history hiccups, epigastric pain, headache. His past medical was signifi cant for treated syphilis TB. He originally...
Background/Aims: Although serum pancreatic enzyme measurements for amylase and lipase are the most widely used biochemical tests diagnosis of pancreatitis, limitations their interpretation disease do exist. An international reference method or an evidence-based cut-off value levels has not been established to facilitate standardization. Therefore, different analytic methods have verified own Reference Ranges (RR) as normal values. The aim this study is evaluate frequency values outside RR in...
