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...
Endoscopic management of gallstone large bowel obstruction at a sigmoid diverticular stricture secondary to cholecystoduodenal fistula
Abdominal Imaging 1 min.
Gallstone ileus is a rare cause of mechanical bowel obstruction, typically involving the small intestine. Large bowel obstruction (LBO) due to gallstone impaction is exceedingly uncommon, particularly at a sigmoid stricture. We present the case of a 76-year-old male with significant cardiac comorbidities...
Stepwise management of adult intussusception caused by an appendiceal mucocele: a case report of endoscopic reduction followed by interval laparoscopic resection
Abdominal Imaging 1 min.
Adult intussusception caused by an appendiceal mucocele is rare, and according to the WHO classification many such lesions are neoplastic, including low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (LAMNs). A woman in her forties presented with right lower abdominal pain. Computed tomography showed ileocecal...
