Mashup Score: 5Use of endoscopic submucosal dissection in a patient with synchronous and metachronous gastric cancers secondary to MSH2-related Lynch syndrome - 23 hour(s) ago
An 80-year-old man with MSH2-related Lynch syndrome with multiple previous malignancies received a diagnosis of gastric cancer (A) in the fundus of the stomach with biopsy-proven hepatic metastases. He was treated with radiation therapy and was given pembrolizumab. After 15 months, a follow-up CT scan showed resolution of the liver metastases. Upper endoscopy showed resolution of the original tumor but the development of 2 new 2.5 cm polypoid lesions in the fundus (B, left) and body (B, right) of the stomach.

Mashup Score: 4Active Narcotic Use And Post Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy Outcomes in Esophageal Motility Disorders - 1 day(s) ago
Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) is a minimally invasive technique used to treat esophageal motility disorders. Opioid use has been demonstrated to adversely affect esophageal dysmotility and is associated with an increased prevalence of esophageal motility disorders. Our aim was to investigate the effect of narcotic use on success rates in patients undergoing POEM.

Mashup Score: 22
EUS-guided liver biopsy (EUS-LB) sampling is being increasingly used. We performed a prospective randomized trial to compare specimen adequacy of a 19-gauge fine-needle biopsy (FNB) needle with a 22-gauge FNB Franseen tip needle for EUS-LB sampling.

Mashup Score: 1Buried esophageal adenocarcinoma after radiofrequency ablation with pagetoid spreading - 2 day(s) ago
A 50-year-old man underwent 1 session of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) because of a 6-year history of high-grade dysplasia (HGD) in a long-segment Barrett’s esophagus without raised lesion at endoscopy and previously treated with proton pump inhibitors. Two subsequent endoscopies with biopsies showed a completely healed esophagus, and the results of histologic analysis were negative for dysplasia. After 2 years, random biopsy specimens obtained from an endoscopically well-healed esophagus revealed glands with HGD and atypical cells spreading in a pagetoid fashion in the neosquamous epithelium (A, H&E, orig.

Mashup Score: 15Association between time from esophageal food impaction to endoscopy and adverse events - 2 day(s) ago
Guidelines recommend emergent or urgent esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) for esophageal food impaction (EFI), but data on how time to EGD impacts the risk of adverse events remain limited. We aimed to determine whether EFI-to-EGD time was associated with adverse events.

Mashup Score: 11SAFETY OF ENDOSCOPIC ULTRASONOGRAPHY LATEX BALLOON USE IN PATIENTS WITH A LATEX ALLERGY - 3 day(s) ago
Balloons are used in endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) to improve visualization. However, data on the safety of latex balloons in patients with latex allergies is limited, and non-latex alternatives can be costly. We aimed to investigate the safety of latex balloon use during EUS.

Mashup Score: 8A Composite Score of Physiomechanical Esophageal Function Using Functional Lumen Imaging Probe Panometry in Eosinophilic Esophagitis - 3 day(s) ago
The evaluation provided by functional lumen imaging probe (FLIP) Panometry includes esophageal distensibility/compliance (mechanics) of the esophageal body and esophagogastric junction (EGJ) and esophageal motility (secondary peristalsis). We aimed to develop a composite score using these parameters to characterize physiomechanical function in patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE).
