Authors: Yarandi SS, Runge T, Wang L, Liu Z, Jiang Y, Chawla S, Woods KE, Keilin S, Willingham FF, Xu H, Cai Q
Abstract
Despite using imaging studies, tissue sampling, and serologic tests about 5-10% of surgeries done for presumed pancreatic malignancies will have benign findings on final pathology. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is used with increasing frequency to study pancreatic masses. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of EUS on prevalence of benign diseases undergoing Whipple over the last decade. Patients who underwent Whipple procedure for presumed malignancy at Emory University Hospital ...

Status of the gastric mucosa with endoscopically diagnosed gastrointestinal stromal tumor.
Conclusion. The results suggest that gastric GISTs tend to arise in the stomach wall with H. pylori-negative, nonatrophic mucosa or H. pylori-positive, mildly atrophic mucosa.

Capsule endoscopy for obscure gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with comorbid rheumatic diseases.
Conclusions. The correlation between RD and positive CE findings is likely influenced by ongoing anti-inflammatory drug use, poorer health status, and a predisposition for angiodysplastic lesions.

Opioid use is not associated with incomplete wireless capsule endoscopy for inpatient or outpatient procedures.
Conclusion. Opioid use within 24 hours of WCE did not significantly affect completion rates for inpatients or outpatients. GTT was prolonged in inpatients receiving opioids but not in outpatients.

Postcolonoscopy Followup Recommendations: Comparison with and without Use of Polyp Pathology.
Conclusion. In our practice, the knowledge of actual polyp pathology does not change the surveillance recommendations made at the time of colonoscopy in the majority of patients.

The changing pattern of upper gastrointestinal disorders by endoscopy: data of the last 40 years.
Conclusion. We detected that the incidences of esophagitis, Barrett's esophagus, and erosive gastritis significantly increased while the incidences of gastric/duodenal ulcer and gastric/esophageal cancer decreased throughout the last 40 years.

Factors significantly contributing to a failed conventional endoscopic stone clearance in patients with "difficult" choledecholithiasis: a single-center experience.
Conclusion. Failed conventional endoscopic stone clearance in patients with difficult to extract BDS is more likely to occur in overage patients, in patients with multiple CBD stones >4, and in patients with CBD stone(s) diameter ≥15 mm.

Interobserver agreement for single operator choledochoscopy imaging: can we do better?
Conclusion. IOA using the modified criteria of SOC images was slight to almost poor. The average accuracy was less than 50%. These findings reaffirm that imaging criteria for benign and malignant biliary pathology need to be formally established and validated.

Outcomes of the use of fully covered esophageal self-expandable stent in the management of colorectal anastomotic strictures and leaks.
Conclusions. The use of SEMS in the management of colorectal anastomotic leaks or strictures is feasible and is associated with high technical and clinical success rate.

Increased prevalence of colorectal polyp in acromegaly patients: a case-control study.
In conclusion, patients who were followed up with the diagnosis of acromegaly should be taken to the colonoscopic surveillance program and all polyps detected should be excised in order to protect them from colorectal cancer.
