Background: Dyspepsia is common in clinical practice with frequent relapses and often requires multiple investigations to assess intraluminal and extraluminal etiologies. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has the potential of serving both purposes in a single setting.
Material And Method: Patients with dyspepsia who underwent EUS in four-year period were retrospectively reviewed. Diagnostic findings of US, final diagnoses were noted and compared with the reference standards.
Results: 131 patients with a mean age +/- SD of 50 +/- 12.7 years were included. The common diagnoses were non-ulcer dyspepsia in 56%, symptomatic gallstone (GS) in 22.9%. EUS detected two GS missed by transabdominal ultrasound (TUS). EUS missed one GS documented by surgery. EUS detected seven cases of ERCP-proven CBD stones undetected by TUS and had a sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value for CBD stones of 87.5%, 91.7%, 87.5%, and 91.7% respectively.
Conclusion: EUS is a potential investigation for the management of dyspepsia.

Diagnostic Role of Endoscopic Ultrasound in Cardiac Angiosarcoma.
JACC Case Rep

Cardiology Department, Schoen Hospital Neustadt, Holstein, Germany.
Primary cardiac tumors are a rare disease, with 20% of the cases being malignant. Among them, angiosarcoma is characterized by a short clinical course and poor prognosis, even after surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. We present a 67-year-old woman diagnosed with a primary malignant tumor (angiosarcoma) infiltrating the right atrial myocardium.

The rising prevalence of pediatric hepato-pancreato-biliary disorders requires a closer examination of its utility. In this systematic review, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and clinical impact of endoscopic US in the pediatric population, concentrating on its diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic applications.

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the preferred treatment for symptomatic cholelithiasis and acute cholecystitis, with increasing applications even in severe cases. However, the possibility of postoperative endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) to manage choledocholithiasis or biliary injuries poses significant clinical challenges. This study aimed to develop a predictive model for ERCP incidence following emergency laparoscopic cholecystectomy using advanced machine learning techniques.
