Differences between childhood- and adulthood-onset eosinophilic esophagitis: An analysis from the EoE connect registry.

Background: Direct comparisons of childhood- and adulthood-onset eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) are scarce.

Aim: To compare disease characteristics, endoscopic and histological features, allergic concomitances and therapeutic choices across ages.

Methods: Cross-sectional analysis of the EoE CONNECT registry.

The role of endoscopic ultrasound guidance for biliary and pancreatic duct access and drainage to overcome the limitations of ERCP: a retrospective evaluation.

Background: Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided ductal access and drainage (EUS-DAD) of biliary/pancreatic ducts after failed endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is less invasive than percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD). The actual need for EUS-DAD remains unknown. We aimed to determine how often EUS-DAD is needed to overcome ERCP failure.

Retrospective cohort study comparing endoscopic ultrasound-guided and percutaneous drainage of upper abdominal abscesses.

Background And Aim: Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)-guided drainage (EUS-D) has become the standard treatment for peripancreatic fluid collections. Its use in other intra-abdominal abscesses has been reported, although there is limited evidence.

Methods: We carried out a single-center retrospective cohort study comparing percutaneous drainage (PCD) and EUS-D of upper abdominal abscesses between January 2012 and June 2017.
