Primary pancreatic lymphoma is a rare type of cancer, that accounts for 0.1-0.5% of lymphomas and about 0.2% of all primary pancreatic tumors. Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma is the most common subtype....
While approximately 85% of neoplasms are ductal pancreatic adenocarcinomas (DPA), adenosquamous pancreatic carcinoma (APC) is a rare subtype of pancreatic cancer that exhibits aggressive behavior and ...
Visceral fat represents a metabolically active entity linked to adverse metabolic sequelae of obesity. We aimed to determine if celiac artery mesenteric fat thickness can be reliably measured during e...
This was a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent celiac artery mesenteric fat measurement with endosonography (CAMEUS) measurement at a tertiary referral center, and a validation prospectiv...
CAMEUS was measured in 154 patients [56.5% females, mean age 56.5 ± 18.0 years, body mass index (BMI) 29.8 ± 8.0 kg/m...
CAMEUS is a novel measure that is significantly correlated with critical metabolic indices and can be easily captured during routine EUS to risk-stratify susceptible patients. This station could allow...
Patients may experience anxiety, discomfort, and pain during endoscopy, which cannot be tolerated without sedative drugs....
This study aimed to compare the sedative effects of dexmedetomidine and midazolam on patients undergoing endosonography outside the operating room....
This randomized, double-blind clinical trial was conducted on 126 patients aged 18 - 65 years old with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I - II undergoing elective endosonogr...
The dexmedetomidine group had significantly higher SpO...
Dexmedetomidine is more effective than midazolam for sedation during gastrointestinal endosonography....
• The ERCP even when done by experienced professionals, fails in 10% of cases....
• Until the development of the EUS-BD, PTBD had a role as a rescue therapy, despite a high rate of adverse events....
• The EUS-BD is safe and has similar efficacy, when compared to PTBD and should be performed immediately after ERCP failure....
• A doctor with skills in both methods (ERCP/EUS) is needed to determine the best EUS-guided therapeutic option....
It is unclear whether performing endosonography first in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with radiological N1 (rN1) has any advantages over surgery without nodal staging. We aimed to compa...
This is a retrospective analysis of patients with rN1 NSCLC between 2013 and 2019. Patients were divided into 'no endosonography' and 'endosonography first' groups. We investigated the effect of nodal...
In the no endosonography group, pathologic N2 occurred in 23.0% of patients. In the endosonography first group, endosonographic N2 and N3 occurred in 8.6% and 1.6% of patients, respectively. Additiona...
In rN1 NSCLC, preoperative endosonography shows better OS than surgery without endosonography. For patients with rN1 NSCLC who are candidates for surgery, preoperative endosonography may help improve ...
Limited data exist regarding the adverse events of advanced diagnostic bronchoscopy, with most of the available information derived from retrospective datasets that primarily focus on early complicati...
We conducted a 15-month prospective cohort study among consecutive patients undergoing endosonography and/or guided bronchoscopy under general anesthesia. We evaluated the 30-day incidence of severe c...
Thirty-day data were available for 697 out of 701 (99.4%) enrolled patients, with 85.6% having suspected malignancy and multiple comorbidities (median Charlson Comorbidity Index (IQR): 4 (2-5)). Sever...
Severe complications arising from endosonography and guided bronchoscopy, although uncommon, have significant clinical consequences. A substantial proportion of adverse events occur days after the pro...
The objective of this academic research is to assess the efficacy of conventional endorectal ultrasound (ERUS), ultrasonic shear wave elastography (SWE), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique...
By searching lliteratures till January 5, 2022, we evaluated the role of the mediastinal nodal staging of endobronchial ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EBUS) and endoscopic ultrasound-guided...
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided biliary rendezvous (RV) is an EUS-assisted technique described as a rescue method in cases of failed biliary cannulation...
Retrospective observational study with prospective consecutive inclusion in a specific database from a tertiary-center. All patients with biliopancreatic diseases that underwent a EUS-assisted ERC bet...
A total of 69 patients who underwent EUS-RV procedures, with benign and malignant pathologies (...
EUS-RV is a demanding technique with better outcomes in benign than in malignant biliopancreatic diseases. Comparison of the EUS-TMD group on malignant disorders showed worse outcomes with EUS-RV. Giv...
