Abstract Objectives Pancreatic fibrosis is one of the main pathological features of chronic pancreatitis (CP), suggesting a strong relationship between CP and pancreatic ductal cancer. There was no available data about pancreatic fibrosis and pancreatic dysfunction in the early CP (ECP) using endosonography (EUS).

Genotypes of carboxypeptidase A1 and gamma-glutamyltransferase 1 may be useful tools for the diagnosis and the predictor of worrisome features of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm in Japan. [PDF]

JGH Open
CPA1 and GGT1, a type of SNP, may be associated with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN). In this study, CPA1 and GGT1 were associated with the presence of IPMN and cyst size, respectively. It may be useful tools for the diagnosis and the predictor of worrisome features of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm in Japan. Abstract Background

EUS-Guided Diagnosis of Gastric Subepithelial Lesions, What Is New?

Diagnostics, 2023
Gastric subepithelial lesions (SELs) are intramural lesions that arise underneath the gastric mucosa. SELs can be benign, but can also be malignant or have malignant potential. Therefore, correct diagnosis is crucial.

Slow-pull compared to suction technique for EUS-guided sampling of pancreatic solid lesions: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Endoscopy International Open, 2020
Background and study aims Current ESGE guidelines suggest employing the suction (SU) technique for endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided sampling of pancreatic solid lesions. Nonetheless, recent randomized controlled trials (RCT) have reported that the slow-

Selection criteria for preoperative endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography before laparoscopic cholecystectomy and endoscopic treatment of bile duct stones. Results of a retrospective; single center study between 1996-2002 [PDF]

, 2004
AIM: The optimal treatment for bile duct stones (in terms of cost, complications and accuracy) is unclear. The aim of our study was to determine the predictive factors for preoperative endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).
