Rectal and Rectosigmoid Endoscopy to Assess Endoscopic and Histological Remission in Ulcerative Colitis: A Prospective Study
Abdominal Imaging 1 min.
Despite increasing interest in endoscopic and histological remission as a treatment target in ulcerative colitis (UC), the accuracy of endoscopic and histological findings in the left colon and/or rectum to detect pancolonic remission is poorly known. We aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of rectosigmoidoscopy...
Complete duodenal disruption from blunt abdominal trauma successfully managed with multistage surgical and endoscopic interventions: a case report
Abdominal Imaging 1 min.
Complete duodenal disruption from blunt abdominal trauma is rare but life-threatening, especially when involving the second and third portions near the ampulla of Vater, which are essential for bile and pancreatic drainage. Such injuries predispose to high-output fistulas, nutritional depletion, and...
Endoscopic Transmural Drainage of Walled-off Necrosis in Difficult Situations Using a Forward-Viewing Echoendoscope
Abdominal Imaging 3 min.
Acute pancreatitis is a disease of varying severity with a clinical spectrum ranging from mild, self-limiting disease to severe necrotizing pancreatitis associated with significant morbidity and mortality [1]. Approximately 10-20% of patients with acute pancreatitis develop pancreatic and peripancreatic...
Abdominal Ultrasound Stimulation Alleviates Negative Symptoms Through Modulation of Serotonin Signaling and Gut Microbiota in the MK-801 Model of Schizophrenia
Abdominal Imaging 1 min.
Abdominal low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) stimulation has potential as a novel therapeutic strategy against neuroinflammation via inhibition of inflammatory responses in the colon. This study aimed to evaluate whether abdominal LIPUS could alleviate MK-801-induced schizophrenia-like negative...
Transabdominal intestinal ultrasound versus transmural histopathological findings in severe ulcerative colitis requiring colectomy
Abdominal Imaging 1 min.
Transabdominal intestinal ultrasound (IUS) is a promising, non-invasive tool for monitoring ulcerative colitis (UC). This modality has the advantage of assessing intestinal inflammation transmurally, suggesting that UC can be considered a transmural disease. Determining what transabdominal IUS findings...
