Ascites is a common, painful, and serious complication of cirrhosis. Body weight reliable proxy for ascites volume; therefore, daily monitoring recommended to optimize management.This study aims evaluate the feasibility smartphone app in facilitating outpatient management.In this study, patients with cirrhotic requiring active management were identified both inpatient settings. Patients provided Bluetooth-connected scale, which transmitted data then via internet an electronic medical record...
Shear wave elastography (SWE) is used for liver fibrosis staging based on stiffness measurements. It can be performed using endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) or a transabdominal approach. Transabdominal accuracy limited in patients with obesity because of the thick abdomen. Theoretically, EUS-SWE overcomes this limitation by internally assessing liver. We aimed to define optimal technique future research and clinical use compare its that SWE.Benchtop study: A standardized phantom model was used....

<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Background:</bold> Pancreatic cysts, frequently identified incidentally on imaging, present diagnostic challenges due to their variable malignant potential. Serous cystic neoplasms (SCNs) are benign and account for 1-2% of pancreatic lesions. However, imaging techniques alone often lack the accuracy definitively diagnose these lesions, leading unnecessary surveillance interventions. <bold>Aims:</bold> This study evaluates safety efficacy endoscopic...

Introduction: Rectal varices are abnormally dilated collateral vessels that may occur from systemic portal hypertension. The endoscopic management of bleeding rectal varix is often challenging; band ligation has limited efficacy, and patients unsuitable for interventional radiology guided procedures surgical ligation. Our group previously reported positive results EUS-guided injection coils absorbable gelatin sponge (AGS; “Gelfoam”) treatment gastric varices. Here we present a case series...
