Gastric outlet obstruction caused by heterotopic pancreas in a patient with alcohol use disorder.

Introduction And Importance: Heterotopic Pancreas (HP) is defined by the presence of pancreatic tissue in an anatomically distinct location from the main pancreas. While often clinically silent, it may present symptomatically. If located in the gastric antrum, HP may cause gastric outlet obstruction (GOO).

Bronchoscopy-guided removal of intrabronchial coil migration after coil embolization of pulmonary arteriovenous malformation.

Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations develop in approximately 50% of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia patients. Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations are often treated with coil embolization therapy. We report a case of a 45-year-old female with multiple pulmonary arteriovenous malformations due to underlying hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia who had undergone 14 coil embolization procedures over 16 years.

The Effect Modification of Ultrasound Risk Classification on Molecular Testing in Predicting the Risk of Malignancy in Cytologically Indeterminate Thyroid Nodules.

Thyroid nodules with indeterminate cytology are increasingly subjected to molecular testing. We evaluated the diagnostic performances of Afirma Genomic Sequencing Classifier (GSC) and ThyroSeq v3 in thyroid nodules with high versus low/intermediate suspicion ultrasound classification. In this prospective cohort study, we analyzed all Bethesda III and IV thyroid nodules that underwent fine-needle aspiration biopsies in the University of California Los Angeles Health System from July 2017 to April 2020.
