Endoscopic diagnosis of gastrointestinal melanoma

Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology, 2020
Background: Gastrointestinal (GI) melanoma can be diagnosed by endoscopy combined with biopsy and subsequent pathological examination. However, the disease may be misdiagnosed due to the limited awareness of GI melanoma.Objective: We aimed to describe characteristics of GI melanoma that can be detected by endoscopy and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS ...

DISINFECTION OF GASTROINTESTINAL FIBRE ENDOSCOPES

The Lancet, 1974
Abstract Gastrointestinal fibre endoscopes and ancillary equipment were found to be contaminated with bacteria. A widely used method of disinfection with alcohol was ineffective. A disinfection method using glutaraldehyde was simple, quick (

ENDOSCOPIC ULTRASONOGRAPHY OF THE GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT

Gastroenterology Clinics of North America, 1995
Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) combines the advantages of conventional endoscopy with the capabilities of ultrasonography. EUS allows clinicians to see through the wall of the gastrointestinal tract. The close proximity allows the use of relatively high frequencies with the resulting increase in tissue contrast and resolution.

A Wireless Robotic Endoscope for Gastrointestine

IEEE Transactions on Robotics, 2008
In recent years, an intelligent noninvasive endoscope has been felt necessary for early diagnosis of malignant tumor in gastrointestine (GI). It is our purpose to develop a microwireless robotic endoscope to examine the human GI. The presented robot's diameter and length is 10 and 190 mm, respectively.

Bacteremia with gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 1986
The authors have reviewed 40 prospective studies of bacteremia with gastrointestinal procedures. Endoscopic procedures with a low mean frequency of bacteremia were esophagogastroduodenoscopy (4.2%), endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (5.6%), colonoscopy (2.2%), and sigmoidoscopy (4.9%).
