Mid-gastrointestinal bleeding: capsule endoscopy and push-and-pull enteroscopy give rise to a new medical term.
2006
2015
Primary intestinal lymphangiectasia (PIL) is a rare disorder, especially in adults. It causes a local disruption of chylus transport and is part of the exudative gastroenteropathies. Conservative therapy includes dietary measures or somatostatin medication. Taking the differential diagnosis of PIL into consideration is a major challenge, since patients suffering from PIL may present with diarrhoea and lymphedema or chylous ascites. This can be explained by the chronic lymphedema of the bowel leading to dilation of the vessels (intraluminal loss) and sometimes even to a rupture (peritoneal loss). Push–pull enteroscopy and capsule endoscopy are the proper interventional diagnostic tools to di…
Balloon Enteroscopy: Single- and Double-Balloon Enteroscopy
2009
Balloon enteroscopy is a method that allows endoscopic inspection of the entire small bowel, or large parts of it, while simultaneously making it possible to obtain histologic samples and carry out treatment measures. Studies of double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) have confirmed the high diagnostic yield of the procedure, with an acceptably low complication rate (approximately 1% for diagnostic DBE and 3% to 4% for therapeutic DBE). The principal indication for the procedure is midgastrointestinal bleeding, that is, when the bleeding source is located in the small bowel. With good patient selection, the diagnostic yield here is 70% to 80%, and this has a substantial influence on subsequent tre…
Taenia Species, Uterine Branches and Capsule Endoscopy
2018
Hamada et al. show, in their article, several proglottids of an adult stage of a Taenia species in the small bowel of a woman by capsule endoscopy (1). One of the images clearly shows a gravid proglottid that allows the view of the characteristic Taenia uterus morphology, with a central axis and a n
Kostenvergleichsanalyse von flexiblen HNO-Endoskopen
2020
Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Die hygienische, richtliniengetreue Wiederaufbereitung von komplexen Instrumenten wie flexiblen HNO-Endoskopen mit und ohne Arbeitskanal stellt Kliniken und Praxen zunehmend vor große Herausforderungen. Ziel der vorliegenden Studie war es daher, die Kosten für ein wiederaufbereitbares Endoskopie-System mit 2 Einweg-Endoskopie-Systemen zu vergleichen und daraus mögliche strategische Überlegungen abzuleiten. Methodik Hierzu wurde eine Kostenvergleichsanalyse bzw. Kostenminimierungsanalyse des an der Hals-, Nasen-, Ohrenklinik und Poliklinik der Universitätsmedizin Mainz vorgehaltenen Endoskopie-Systems mit 2 Einweg-Endoskopie-Systemen der Firma Ambu und Karl Storz …
Coloscopie virtuelle — par tomodensitométrie (CTDM) et résonance magnétique (CRM) — dans la détection des polypes coliques et des lésions néoplasiques
2005
Tant chez l’homme que chez la femme, le cancer colorectal (CCR) constitue la deuxieme cause de deces dans les pays occidentaux. Par consequent, le depistage du cancer colorectal et de ses precurseurs est un important probleme de sante publique. L’utilisation de la coloscopie par tomodensitometrie computee (CTDM) et par resonance magnetique (CRM), mieux connue sous l’appellation coloscopie virtuelle, rencontre un succes populaire croissant. Le present article a pour but de passer en revue les donnees de la litterature, d’etablir l’etat actuel de la coloscopie virtuelle, et de predire son impact potentiel sur la pratique actuelle et future en gastro-enterologie.
SELF-EXPANDABLE METAL STENT PLACEMENT FOR CLOSURE OF A LEAK AFTER TOTAL GASTRECTOMY FOR GASTRIC CANCER: REPORT ON THREE CASES AND REVIEW OF THE LITER…
2014
In the setting of the curative oncological surgery, the gastric surgery is exposed to complicated upper gastrointestinal leaks, and consequently the management of this problem has become more critically focused than was previously possible. We report here three cases of placement of a partially silicone-coated SEMS (Evolution Controlled Release Esophageal Stent System, Cook Medical, Winston-Salem, NC, USA) in patients who underwent total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y end-to-side esophagojejunostomy for a gastric adenocarcinoma. The promising results of our report, despite the small number of patients, suggest that early stenting (through a partially silicone-coated SEMS) is a feasible alternat…
Non-invasive prediction of esophageal varices by stiffness and platelet in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease cirrhosis.
2018
Background & Aims: Baveno VI and expanded Baveno VI criteria can avoid the need for esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) to screen for varices needing treatment (VNT) in a substantial proportion of compensated patients with viral and/or alcoholic cirrhosis. This multicenter, cross-sectional study aims to validate these criteria in patients with compensated cirrhosis due to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), accounting for possible differences in liver stiffness measurement (LSM) values between M and XL probes. Methods: We assessed 790 patients with NAFLD-related compensated cirrhosis who had EGD within six months of a reliable LSM, measured by FibroScan® using M and/or XL probe. Baveno …
Color and multispectral image processing for the detection of inflammatory lesions of the stomach
2019
The work presented in this manuscript is part of the ANR project EMMIE. This project aims to develop an innovative multimodal system for the detection of inflammatory lesions in the stomach. To this purpose, a prototype has been developed to be able to acquire NBI endoscopic images and multispectral images during human's antrum exploration. The prototype is made of a standard endoscope and multispectral images.The prototype can acquire two types of data: NBI images and spectra. These two modalities are processed independently. Common image processing features are used to recognize four kind of diseases: active gastritis, chronic gastritis, metaplasia and atrophy. In addition, visual based f…
Clinicopathological profile of gastrointestinal tuberculosis: a multinational ID-IRI study
2020
Data are relatively scarce on gastro-intestinal tuberculosis (GITB). Most studies are old and from single centers, or did not include immunosuppressed patients. Thus, we aimed to determine the clinical, radiological, and laboratory profiles of GITB. We included adults with proven GITB treated between 2000 and 2018. Patients were enrolled from 21 referral centers in 8 countries (Belgium, Egypt, France, Italy, Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia, UK, and Turkey). One hundred four patients were included. Terminal ileum (n = 46, 44.2%), small intestines except terminal ileum (n = 36, 34.6%), colon (n = 29, 27.8%), stomach (n = 6, 5.7%), and perianal (one patient) were the sites of GITB. One-third of all p…
