Endoscopic therapy using an endoscopic variceal ligation for minute cancer of the esophagogastric junction complicated with esophageal varices: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2010
Introduction Standard endoscopic mucosal resection or endoscopic submucosal dissection is a procedure for patients with minute cancers, complicated with esophageal varices that puts them at high risk of bleeding.

Bleeding Outcomes Following Transesophageal Echocardiography in Patients With Cirrhosis and Esophageal Varices

Hepatology Communications, 2021
Despite scant evidence, current guidelines indicate that esophageal varices are a relative contraindication to transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). The aim of this study is to compare the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding following TEE among cirrhotic

Correlation of Transient Elastography and Progression of Cirrhosis in Longterm Survivors of Biliary Atresia

Siriraj Medical Journal, 2021
Objective: This study aimed to use transient elastography (TE) to evaluate the correlation between liver stiffness measure (LSM) and functional status of native liver in longterm follow-up of pediatric patients with biliary atresia (BA). Methods: Twenty

Portosystemic collateral vessels in liver cirrhosis: a three-dimensional MDCT pictorial review [PDF]

, 2011
PURPOSE: Portosystemic collateral vessels (PSCV) are a consequence of the portal hypertension that occurs in chronic liver diseases. Their prognosis is strongly marked by the risk of digestive hemorrhage and hepatic encephalopathy. MATERIALS AND METHODS:

Downhill esophageal varices: a therapeutic dilemma.

Annals of Translational Medicine, 2018
Esophageal varices can cause life-threatening complications and are most often a sequela of liver disease. Although a rare cause of gastrointestinal bleeding, downhill variceal bleeding secondary to superior vena cava (SVC) obstruction should be ...

Natural history of patients with non cirrhotic portal hypertension: Comparison with patients with compensated cirrhosis [PDF]

, 2018
Background. The knowledge of natural history of patients with portal hypertension (PH) not due to cirrhosis is less well known than that of cirrhotic patients. Aim.

Deep Learning-Based Open Source Toolkit for Eosinophil Detection in Pediatric Eosinophilic Esophagitis [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic, immune/antigen-mediated esophageal disease, characterized by symptoms related to esophageal dysfunction and histological evidence of eosinophil-dominant inflammation. Owing to the intricate microscopic representation of EoE in imaging, current methodologies which depend on manual identification are not only ...

Deep learning-based image super-resolution of a novel end-expandable optical fiber probe for application in esophageal cancer diagnostics [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Significance: Endoscopic screening for esophageal cancer may enable early cancer diagnosis and treatment. While optical microendoscopic technology has shown promise in improving specificity, the limited field of view (<1 mm) significantly reduces the ability to survey large areas efficiently in esophageal cancer screening.

The magnitude and correlates of esophageal Varices among newly diagnosed cirrhotic patients undergoing screening fibre optic endoscope before incident bleeding in North-Western Tanzania; a cross-sectional study

BMC Gastroenterology, 2019
Background Bleeding esophageal varices is a deadly complication of liver cirrhosis. Guidelines recommend an early diagnosis of esophageal varices before incident bleeding by screening all patients diagnosed with liver cirrhosis.

Spleen Stiffness Is Superior to Liver Stiffness for Predicting Esophageal Varices in Chronic Liver Disease: A Meta-Analysis

PLoS ONE, 2016
Background and Aims Liver stiffness (LS) and spleen stiffness (SS) are two most widely accessible non-invasive parameters for predicting esophageal varices (EV), but the reported accuracy of the two predictors have been inconsistent across studies.
