Background: The study aimed to investigate the efficacy of vonoprazan 10 mg compared with 20 mg in patients with erosive esophagitis.
Method: Seventy-three patients with erosive esophagitis were randomly divided into two groups either vonoprazan 20 mg (n = 37) or 10 mg (n = 36). They were administered each dose for 4 weeks as the initial treatment followed by maintenance treatment with 10 mg for 8 weeks.
Rationale: Only a few cases of putative lung adenocarcinoma presenting as carcinoma of unknown primary site (CUP) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation have been reported, and the efficacy of EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) for these cases is unclear.
Patient Concerns And Diagnoses: A 67-year-old man complained of paresis of the right lower extremity, dysarthria, and memory disturbance. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed multiple brain tumors with brain edema and swelling of the left supraclavicular, mediastinal, and upper abdominal lymph nodes.

Article Synopsis
- * Further imaging tests revealed a multilocular cystic lesion in the pancreatic tail, leading to a diagnosis of a mucinous cystic tumor.
- * During surgery, the cyst was identified as an epidermoid cyst linked to an intrapancreatic accessory spleen, confirmed by the cyst's histological features matching those of splenic tissue.
We studied the usefulness of pancreatic juice cytology obtained via an indwelling endoscopic nasal pancreatic drainage (ENPD) tube. In general, cytology was performed three times. The sensitivity was 0.

Methodology: The results of EUS performed 54 times were classified according to clinical impact into three grades (none, supportive, and important) and analyzed to assess their impact on the treatment strategy on individual occasions.
Results: EUS was important in determining treatment strategy for 23 of 39 lesions (59.
