Abstract Objectives Endoscopic balloon dilation (EBD) is an effective treatment for intestinal strictures in Crohn's disease (CD). However, restenosis often occurs and requires repeat EBD or surgery. Previous studies have seldom examined with respect to stricture diameter, leaving the factors contributing post‐EBD unclear. Our retrospective study indicated that complete mucosal healing significantly reduces after CD‐related small strictures. This prospective aimed validate these findings by...
Early gastric cancers (EGCs) of the elevated type or with submucosal invasion are easily found by routine endoscopy. However, most early challenging to detect because subtle morphological color differences from surrounding atrophic mucosa and intestinal metaplasia. Linked imaging (LCI) enhances mucosal difference, making it easier EGCs. The aim this study is clarify advantages possible disadvantages LCI for screening obscure EGC.A total 665 malignant lesions resected using endoscopic...
The pink color sign in iodine unstained areas is useful to differentiate esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) from other lesions. However, some ESCCs have obscure findings which affect the ability of endoscopists these lesions and determine resection line. Using white light imaging (WLI), linked (LCI) blue laser (BLI), 40 early were retrospectively evaluated using images before after staining. Visibility scores for ESCC by expert non-expert compared three modalities differences measured...
• We report a case of an asymptomatic posttraumatic aneurysm the internal carotid artery presenting in sphenoidal and ethmoidal sinuses. Our initial clinical radiographic diagnosis indicated mucocele. There were two reasons for this. First, Maurer's triad traumatic was not seen, since neither epistaxis nor visual disorder present, fracture evident on tomography or computed tomographic scans. Second, no symptoms abnormalities found sequential neurosurgical evaluations period about six years...
Hepatic resection is the only effective treatment for combined hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma. A 52-year-old man was preoperatively diagnosed with in segment 2 tumor thrombus portal branch. Anatomical liver segmentectomy 2, including separation of hepatic arteries, veins, bile duct, enabled us to remove completely. Modified selective vascular exclusion, which combines extrahepatic control left middle veins occlusion hemihepatic inflow, used reduce blood loss. pathological...
A 62-year-old female underwent resection of malignant melanoma in the right lumbar region and sentinel lymph node biopsy inguinal node, resulting a diagnosis stage IIID (pT4bN3cM0). The patient received postoperative chemoradiotherapy but developed iron deficiency anemia intermittent abdominal pain during treatment. An CT scan revealed soft tissue shadows within lumen jejunum, along with partial intestinal intussusception dilatation proximal side. enlargement surrounding mesenteric nodes was...
The patency capsule, used to assess intestinal patency, naturally disintegrates, reducing the risk of obstruction. However, rare cases non-dissolvable coating film retention have been reported. We present a case 40-year-old female with Crohn's disease, where capsule was retained in ileum. patient, history recurrent bowel obstruction, experienced persistent anorexia. Initial imaging showed multiple strictures Despite endoscopic balloon dilation, symptoms persisted. Upon repeat double-balloon...
Coincident protons and neutrons from the reaction \ensuremath{\gamma}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}d\ensuremath{\rightarrow}pn${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\pi}}}^{0}$ were measured at a photon energy of 290 MeV. Cross sections beam asymmetries extracted for nucleon momenta above quasifree region first time. The cross are compared with results cascade Monte Carlo calculation.
1549 Background: The presence of genetic mutations is a vital prognostic in many types cancer. However, genomic testing expensive and challenging to perform. In contrast, hematoxylin eosin (H&E) staining relatively inexpensive straightforward. Thus, this study, we propose method predicting the using H&E-stained whole-slide images (WSIs). Methods: We divided each H&E–stained WSI into small pieces or “patches.” used deep learning model classify patch based on tumor-containing...
Abstract Background and study aims Small-bowel polyps in patients with Peutz–Jeghers syndrome (PJS) are sometimes difficult to reach using double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE). However, they can induce intussusception, especially when ≧15 mm. This aimed review the outcomes of such polyps. Patients methods All PJS small-bowel that bidirectional DBE failed were ≧5 mm as shown by enterography at our institution from May 2006 April 2022 retrospectively evaluated. The endpoint was earliest occurrence...
Aims It is often challenging to treat Dieulafoy’s lesions in the small intestine (Yano-Yamamoto classification Type 2a) due intermittent and pulsatile bleeding. After spontaneous hemostasis, finding a minute red dot or fibrin plug surrounded by normal mucosa can be challenging. difficult secure visual field while performing endoscopic hemostasis of lesion with active The efficacy gel immersion endoscopy (GIE) during for GI bleeding was reported. GIE retrospectively evaluated.
