Synchronous intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm and a pancreatic neuroendoc...

BACKGROUND: Although the association between intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas (IPMN) and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (PNET) has been increasingly reported, whether this association is real or coincidence remains unclear. We report a case of synchronous IPMN and a PNET which were diagnosed preoperatively and discuss the tumorigenesis, clinicopathological features and management of thes...

Symptomatic Hyponatremia after Bowel Preparation: Report of Two Cases and Liter...

INTRODUCTION: Bowel preparation for colonoscopy and/or colorectal surgery can cause electrolyte imbalances. The risk of electrolyte imbalances seems to be related to the type of bowel cleansing solution, age of patients and comorbidities. CASE REPORT: We report two cases of symptomatic hyponatremia (focal neurological signs and coma) after bowel preparation with sodium picosulfate/magnesium citrate for colonosc...

Endoscopic Ultrasound in the Diagnosis and Staging of Pancreatic Cancer

It has excellent accuracy in identifying patients with advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis. However, some factors can interfere with liver stiffness (LS) measurement. The food intake may be one of those confounding factors and there are no defin...

A multicenter validation of an endoscopic classification with narrow band imagi...

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIM: The reliability and external validity of narrow band imaging (NBI) in the stomach have not been described consistently. The aim of the current study was to describe and estimate the accuracy and reliability of a simplified classification system for NBI in the diagnosis of gastric lesions. METHODS: Consecutive patients undergoing NBI endoscopy at two reference centers (n=85, 33% with dy...
