Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) represents the gold standard for jaundice palliation in patients with distal malignant biliary obstruction (DMBO). Biliary drainage using electrocautery lumen apposing metal stent (EC-LAMS) is currently a well-established procedure when ERCP fails. In palliative setting endoscopic ultrasound-guided gallbladder (EUS-GBD) could represent an easy and valid option. We performed prospective study new EC-LAMS primary aim to assess clinical...
Abstract Background and study aims The optimal number of needle passes during endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) is not yet established. We aimed to perform a per-pass analysis the diagnostic accuracy EUS-FNB solid pancreatic lesions using 22G Franseen needle. Patients methods Consecutive patients with referred 11 Italian centers were prospectively enrolled. Three performed; specimens collected after each pass processed individually as standard histology following...
Abstract Background and study aims The standard method for obtaining samples during endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is fine-needle aspiration (FNA), the accuracy of which can be affected by presence a cytopathologist in endoscopy room (rapid on-site evaluation [ROSE]). With introduction biopsy (FNB), macroscopic (MOSE) acquired specimen has been proposed. Only few studies have evaluated role MOSE all except one, 19G needle was used. Our primary aim to evaluate diagnostic yield with...
This paper presents the development of a Robot Operating System (ROS)-based mobile robot control using electromyography (EMG) signals. The proposed robot’s structure is specifically designed to provide modularity and controlled by Raspberry Pi 3 running on top an ROS application Teensy microcontroller. EMG muscle commands are sent with hand gestures that captured Thalmic Myo Armband recognized k-Nearest Neighbour (k-NN) classifier. performance evaluated navigating it through specific paths...
Background: Anastomotic leakages are one of the most frequent complications gastroesophageal surgery with a high mortality. Objective: This study aimed to assess efficacy and safety endoscopic therapy using fully covered self-expanding metal stents (FC-SEMS) for management anastomotic leaks. Methods: In this cohort study, all patients leak after oncological treated FC-SEMS were included. Procedures performed by expert endoscopist in three Italian units. The primary outcome was clinical...
Long and sharp objects can be foreign body intentionally or accidentally ingested. Timing of endoscopy relies on shape size, localization in gastrointestinal tract, patient's clinical conditions, occurrence symptoms, onset complications. We present a case 47-year-old male with no known comorbidity, who swallowed portion naso-pharyngeal swab half-broken during the second diagnostic test for SARS-CoV-2. The intact had total length 15 cm was made wood. patient asymptomatic, laboratory tests...
Aims: Lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMSs) in ultrasonography-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD) have become increasingly important for high-risk surgical patients. Our study aims to evaluate the technical and clinical success, safety, feasibility of endoscopic using a new dedicated LAMS. Methods: This is retrospective multicenter that included all consecutive patients not suitable surgery who were referred tertiary center EUS-GBD electrocautery LAMS acute cholecystitis at eight different...
Thyroid hormone receptors (TRs) and members of the myocyte enhancer factor 2 (MEF2) family are involved in regulation muscle-specific gene expression during myogenesis. Physical interaction between these two factors is required to synergistically activate transcription. p300/cAMP-response-element-binding-protein ('CREB')-binding protein (CBP) interacting with transcription able increase their activity on target promoters. We investigated role p300 regulating TR—MEF2A complex. To this end, we...
Cyclin D1 is a key cell-cycle regulatory protein required for the cell to progress through G1 S phase. We have shown by Western blot analysis that cyclin has wide distribution in adult mouse tissues, with its level of expression being tissue-dependent. Immunohistochemistry also may be present cytoplasm, nucleus or both these compartments: cytoplasmic staining was observed proliferating cells (e.g. kidney, intestine, stomach and salivary gland) non-dividing (the mature neurons brain), while...
The human HtrA family of proteases consists four members: HtrA1, HtrA2, HtrA3, and HtrA4. In humans the homologues appear to be involved in several important functions such as cell growth, apoptosis, inflammatory reactions, they control fate via regulated protein metabolism. previous studies it was shown that expression HtrA1 ubiquitous normal adult tissues. Here we examined its corresponding mRNA during mouse embryogenesis using Northern blotting hybridization, RT-PCR, immunohistochemical...
Although outcomes of lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) placement in native anatomy have been reported, data on LAMS surgically altered (SAA) are sparse. We aimed to assess patients with SAA for different indications.
Summry— Signaling through the Notch cell surface receptors is a highly conserved mechanism of fate specification. signaling regulates proliferation, differentiation and death. In vertebrates, putative gene duplication has originated four genes, Notch‐1, −2, −3 −4. They have been implicated in neurogenesis, hematopoiesis, T‐cell development, vasculogenesis brain cortical growth. We investigated Notch‐1 distribution normal human tissues by immunohistochemistry immunoblot. detected widespread...
