Background & AimsIt is a challenge to detect malignancies in biliary strictures. Various sampling methods are available increase diagnostic yield, but these require additional procedure time and expertise. We evaluated the combined accuracy of fluorescence situ hybridization (FISH) polymerase chain reaction–based DNA mutation profiling (MP) specimens collected using standard brush techniques.MethodsWe performed prospective study 107 consecutive patients treated for strictures by endoscopic...
Our aim was to identify baseline characteristics associated with disease progression and malignant transformation in low-risk suspected intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs).This is a retrospective cohort study of prospectively maintained databases pancreatic cysts at 3 international, academic institutions. Five hundred fifty-nine adult patients clinically asymptomatic IPMN evaluated by radiologic studies or endoscopic ultrasound between 2003 2013 without worrisome features under...
Because most pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) will never become malignant, currently advocated long-term surveillance is low-yield for individuals.To develop a score chart identifying IPMNs at lowest risk of developing worrisome features or high-risk stigmata.We combined prospectively maintained cyst databases three academic institutions. Patients were included if they had presumed side-branch IPMN, without stigmata baseline (as defined by the 2012 international...
Remdesivir has been the mainstay of coronavirus disease 2019 treatment since start severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 pandemic. Despite its growing use, safety data are limited. We present case an elderly man with obesity and who developed liver failure after initiation remdesivir. This report broadens our knowledge side effect profile remdesivir discusses potential risk factors approach to remdesivir-induced failure. Our also highlights importance monitoring hepatic function therapy
Patients who "no-show" for colonoscopy or present with poor bowel preparation waste endoscopic resources and do not receive adequate examinations colorectal cancer (CRC) screening. Using the Health Belief Model, we modified an existing patient education pamphlet evaluated its effect on nonattendance rates quality.We implemented a color to target individual perceptions about CRC changed instructions include low-residue diet instead of previous clear liquid diet. We compared rate over 2-month...
Rhythm control strategies in patients with esophageal varices and atrial arrhythmias pose a unique challenge. The left atrium should be imaged for thrombus prior to attempting cardioversion or ablation, but the presence of is relative contraindication transesophageal echocardiography. We present safe, novel technique evaluating simultaneous echocardiography esophagogastroduodenoscopy using slim probes patient large, high-risk varices, symptomatic flutter rapid ventricular rates despite...
Introduction: To date, there have been over 32 million cases of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in the United States alone. Remdesivir is only drug approved by US Food and Drug Administration for treatment SARS-CoV-2. Although safety data limited, hepatotoxicity has reported 5-37% with most being mild. We present a case liver failure (ALF) from remdesivir, successfully treated N-acetylcysteine (NAC) infusion. Case Description/Methods: An 83-year-old obese male...
Introduction: There is an increasing need for high quality core biopsies in patients with suspected pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Although significant advances have been made the EUS-guided sampling methods, factors that predict acquisition of histologic cores preserved architecture are not known. Our goal was to understand both procedural and tumor associated accuracy ability obtain biopsies. Methods: We identified who underwent adenocarcinoma between 2011-15 had immediate surgical resection...
Introduction: Patients who “no-show” for colonoscopy or present with poor bowel preparation waste endoscopic resources and do not receive adequate examination colorectal cancer (CRC) screening. At our VA hospital, which does use open access endoscopy, the no-show rate is high inadequate a common occurrence. To address these issues, we designed patient education booklet using health behavior theory evaluated its effect on rates quality. Methods: We adapted Health Belief Model...
Introduction: The optimal management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has major physical, psychological and financial implications for our patients as well health care system. As IBD is a complex chronic with symptoms that frequently require hospitalization, are high utilizers care. objectives this study were to describe baseline features inpatient outcomes at an academic, comprehensive center. Methods: We conducted retrospective chart review adult IBD-related admissions tertiary...
INTRODUCTION: Gastrointestinal symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infection common, but usually mild in severity. We describe a case severe gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) patient with COVID-19 associated hyperinflammatory response. CASE DESCRIPTION/METHODS: A 25-year-old man no significant medical history presented 2 weeks fevers, cough, dyspnea, and diarrhea. He tested positive for on nasopharyngeal PCR imaging showed multifocal pneumonia. Initial labs were notable markedly elevated CRP ferritin,...
