Article Synopsis
  • Helicobacter pylori is a bacteria that can cause stomach problems, and this study aimed to find a better treatment to get rid of it.
  • The study involved 600 patients and compared two different treatment plans: one using vonoprazan, amoxicillin, and bismuth, and the other using a standard treatment.
  • The results showed that both treatments worked similarly well, but the vonoprazan treatment had fewer side effects and was less expensive.

Background And Objectives: Standard suction technique (SST), slow-pull technique (SPT), and wet suction technique (WEST) of EUS-FNA are designed to improve the diagnostic yields of solid and solid-cystic lesions. We conducted a multicenter, prospective, randomized crossover trial to compare SST, SPT, and WEST on specimen quality and diagnostic accuracy using a 22G needle.

Methods: Patients with solid or solid-cystic lesions referred for EUS-FNA at four tertiary hospitals from December 2017 to August 2019 were considered eligible.

Background: The optimal sampling techniques for endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) remain unclear and have not been standardized. The aim of this study was to compare the wet-suction and dry-suction techniques for sampling solid lesions in the pancreas, mediastinum, and abdomen.

Methods: This was a multicenter, crossover, randomized controlled trial with randomized order of sampling techniques.

However, epidemiologic findings as to whether dietary methionine intake influences colorectal cancer incidence in humans are inconsistent.

The aim of the present study was to identify a specific biological marker for the diagnosis of colorectal adenomas through the analysis of variations in serum protein profiling in colorectal adenoma patients. The study was conducted at the Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University (Wuhan, China) between September 2011 and May 2012. Surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (SELDI-TOF-MS) was performed to compare the serum protein profiles of 50 patients with colorectal adenoma and 50 healthy individuals.
