Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the prevalence of achlorhydria (AC) in a large Asian population by reviewing medical records of patients who underwent an oesophagogastroduodenoscopy (OGD) from 2010 to 2019.
- Out of 3374 patients, only 18 (0.53%) were found to have AC; 7 had permanent AC and 11 had temporary AC, often associated with gastrointestinal bacterial infections and older age.
- The findings suggest that AC is rare, primarily occurring in older adults, and recommend using Congo red staining during OGD for early detection, along with low-cost screening for serum vitamin B levels in patients aged 50 and over.
Article Synopsis
- A study examined the effectiveness of a new EUS-guided fine-needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) needle design compared to an older model for diagnosing solid liver masses.
- The trial showed that both needle types had similar diagnostic accuracy (around 86%) and tissue adequacy, though the new needle managed to obtain longer tissue samples (1.3 cm vs. 0.8 cm).
- Overall, both needle types proved highly effective for biopsies with comparable rates of adverse events, indicating no significant advantage of one over the other in terms of safety or efficacy.
Background: Despite high risk of bacterial contamination, yet there are no studies that have evaluated the optimal hang time of blenderized and reconstituted powdered formulas at standard room temperature and high temperature.
Aim: To investigate the optimal hang time of both types of formulas at standard room temperature and high temperature.
Methods: Ten specimens of blenderized formula and 10 specimens of reconstituted powdered formula were prepared using aseptic techniques.
