Accuracy of linear endoscopic ultrasonography in the evaluation of patients with suspected common bile duct stones

Endoscopy
M KohutA Nowak

Abstract

Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) with radial scanning is an efficient diagnostic tool where there is suspicion of common bile duct (CBD) stones. Little is known about the use of linear EUS in this condition. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of linear EUS in a large group of patients suspected to have bile duct stones, using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with endoscopic sphincterotomy and exploration of the CBD using a Dormia basket, or surgical choledochotomy with choledochoscopy, as diagnostic "gold standards." 134 patients with clinical suspicion of CBD stones were included in the study and prospectively evaluated, using EUS, and ERCP with endoscopic sphincterotomy (127 patients), or choledochotomy with choledochoscopy where ERCP was unsuccessful (seven patients). EUS was done before ERCP using an echo endoscope (Pentax FG 32 UA; 5 - 7.5 MHz) and Hitachi EUB 405 ultrasound machine. ERCP was done using the TFJ 100 or TJ 20 Olympus duodenoscope. ERCP was carried out within a mean of 2 days after EUS. The longest time between EUS and ERCP was 3 days. The examiners were blinded to the results of the other method used. CBD stones were found in 91 (68 %) patients at ERCP with E...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
