Intestinal ultrasound and its role in the acute setting: stenosing Crohn's disease and acute bowel obstruction due to foreign body ingestion (dental post and crown).

Article Synopsis
- A 39-year-old woman with a history of Crohn’s disease experiences severe abdominal pain, vomiting, and bloating, hinting at a complication from a previously ingested dental post and crown.
- Imaging confirms bowel obstruction, and tests reveal significant ileal stenosis along with the presence of the dental foreign body.
- Due to her history of Crohn’s disease and concerns about further complications, surgical intervention is performed, resulting in an uneventful ileocecal resection and removal of the foreign body.
The increasing number of endoscopic explorations help recognize rare lesions of the gastrointestinal tract, such as lymphangiomas, rare benign vascular tumours in adults. Patients with lymphangioma are generally asymptomatic but if complications arise, the approach is endoscopic or surgical. Endoscopic ultrasound aids in distinguishing this tumour from other subepithelial lesions.

Aim: we analyzed the treatment and survival in patients with rHCC on non-cirrhotic liver.
Article Synopsis
- Biomechanical methods help analyze posture and movement in woodwind musicians to understand their physical demands during performances.
- A systematic review, following PRISMA guidelines, examined 1625 articles, ultimately selecting 16 studies with 390 participants to focus on these methods.
- The review highlighted the use of various techniques like pressure sensors and electromyography but noted that the diversity of studies made it hard to compare results, emphasizing a need for more rigorous future research.
Gastrointestinal (GI) Endoscopy is a basic competence for the management of gastrointestinal diseases. However, it should not be regarded as an independent training technique. Rather it is a part of a continuous and accredited process that requires clinical knowledge from the gastroenterologist to keep skills up-to-date in a constantly evolving medical subspecialty.
