Endoscopic ultrasound can be useful for obtaining detailed diagnostic images for pancreatic disease. Contrast-enhanced harmonic endoscopic ultrasound has allowed to demonstrate not only microvasculature but also real perfusion imaging using second-generation contrast agents. Furthermore, endoscopic ultrasound fine-needle aspiration cytology and histology have become more ubiquitous; however, the risk of dissemination caused by paracentesis has yet to be resolved, and the application of less invasive contrast-enhanced endoscopic ultrasound for the differential diagnosis of pancreatic tumors has been anticipated. Contrast-enhanced harmonic endoscopic ultrasound can contribute to the differential diagnosis of pancreatic tumors.

Comparison of diagnostic performances of slow-pull suction and standard suction in endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle biopsy for gastrointestinal subepithelial tumors.

Authors:
Joon Seop Lee Chang Min Cho Yong Hwan Kwon An Na Seo Han Ik Bae Man-Hoon Han

Clin Endosc 2022 Aug 17. Epub 2022 Aug 17.

Department of Pathology, Kyungpook National University School of Medicine, Daegu, Korea.

Background/aims: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) is integral to the diagnosis of gastrointestinal (GI) subepithelial tumors (SETs). The impact of different EUS-FNB tissue sampling techniques on specimen adequacy and diagnostic accuracy in SETs has not been fully evaluated. This study aimed to compare the diagnostic outcomes of slow-pull (SP) and standard suction (SS) in patients with GI SETs. Read More

Type II achalasia with focal elevated pressures: A distinct manometric and clinical sub-group.

Authors:
Eric E Low Syed Abbas Fehmi Aws Hasan Michael Chang Wilson Kwong Mary L Krinsky Gobind Anand Madeline Greytak Alexander Kaizer Dustin A Carlson John E Pandolfino Rena Yadlapati

Neurogastroenterol Motil 2022 Aug 16:e14449. Epub 2022 Aug 16.

Division of Gastroenterology, University of California San Diego, San Diego, California, USA.

Background: Type II achalasia (Ach2) is distinguished from other achalasia sub-types by the presence of panesophageal pressurization (PEP) of ≥30 mmHg in ≥20% swallows on high-resolution manometry (HRM). Variable manometric features in Ach2 have been observed, characterized by focal elevated pressures (FEPs) (focal/segmental pressures ≥70 mmHg within the PEP band) and/or high compression pressures (PEP ≥70 mmHg). This study aimed to examine clinical and physiologic variables among sub-groups of Ach2. Read More

ENDOSCOPIC ULTRASOUND THROUGH-THE-NEEDLE BIOPSY OF PANCREATIC CYSTS: TOWARDS PROCEDURE STANDARDIZATION.

Authors:
Filipe Vilas-Boas Tiago Ribeiro Pedro Costa-Moreira Helena Barroca Joanne Lopes Diana Martins Pedro Moutinho-Ribeiro Guilherme Macedo

Dig Dis 2022 Aug 15. Epub 2022 Aug 15.

Background And Aims: EUS-guided through-the-needle microforceps biopsy (EUS-TTNB) was introduced as a new diagnostic tool to establish pancreatic cyst histotype and help to better risk stratify the patients. The aim of this study was to describe the technical success, diagnostic yield and adverse events of through-the-needle biopsy and discuss the technique variations, focusing on future procedure standardization.

Methods: We performed a prospective single-center study including patients with presumed mucinous cysts harboring worrisome features or indeterminate cyst type on imaging, submitted to EUS-TTNB using Moray® microforceps between March 2018 and September 2021. Read More

This case documents a previously undescribed presentation of spp. gastritis. An 8-year-old female spayed golden retriever with chronic vomiting was found to have a cluster of multiple, round, well-defined, hypoechoic foci of varying sizes surrounded by gas within the lumen of the stomach on ultrasonographic examination.
