Purpose: The ability to perform abdominal ultrasonography after esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is hypothesized to improve examination efficiency. Therefore, we performed abdominal ultrasonography before and after EGD to verify the effects of EGD on abdominal ultrasonographic imaging efficiency.
Methods: We performed abdominal ultrasonography before, immediately after, 30 min after, and 60 min after EGD with carbon dioxide (CO) insufflation in 23 consecutive patients who visited our center between July 2015 and December 2016.
Article Synopsis
- * Using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), we found different types of ERG gene abnormalities in each case, with one case showing both Class 1 and Class 2+ Edel.
- * Our findings suggest that abiraterone could be particularly effective for mCRPC patients with specific ERG gene abnormalities, making this the first research to connect ERG gene status with clinical outcomes in such cases.
The patient was a 72-year-old woman whose alkaline phosphatase levels had been elevated since she was 56 years old. Liver biopsies obtained when the patient was 64 and 66 years of age led to a suspicion of cholangitis caused by vasculitis. Furthermore, proteinase-3 anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody positivity led to a suspicion of granulomatosis with polyangiitis, but subjective symptoms and disorders in other organs were absent, so this suspicion was not confirmed.

Abdominal ultrasonography showed 30mm great tumor in liver lateral segment area and gastric fiber showed type2 tumor which is AFP producing gastric cancer.

A 70-year-old man visited our outpatient clinic with chief complaints of severe upper abdominal pain and fever. Blood tests revealed a markedly enhanced inflammatory reaction. He was hospitalized and diagnosed with phlegmonous gastritis based on findings of esophagogastroduodenoscopy and multidrug-resistant streptococcus detected by gastric juice culture.
