Mixed Pancreatobiliary Ductal Adenocarcinoma and Squamous Cell Carcinoma Arising from an Ectopic Pancreas in a Gastric Duplication Cyst-A Rare Double Diagnosis.

Gastric duplication cysts (GDCs) are rare congenital anomalies, often identified during infancy or childhood. Although typically benign, there have been sporadic reports of malignant transformations, including adenocarcinoma and rare mixed tumors. Herein, we describe a rare case of mixed pancreatobiliary ductal adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma occurring within a GDC in a 54-year-old Korean woman with a history of melena and hematemesis.

Causal Effects of Metabolic Syndrome on Gastric Disorders: Univariable and Multivariable Mendelian Randomization.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the causal effects of metabolic syndrome (MetS) components, including fasting blood glucose (FBG), HDL cholesterol (HDL-C), triglycerides (TG), waist circumference (WC), and hypertension, on the risks of chronic gastritis, benign gastric tumors, and gastric cancer using Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses.

Methods: Univariable two-sample Mendelian randomization (TSMR) and multivariable Mendelian randomization (MVMR) analyses were employed to evaluate the independent and combined effects of MetS components on gastric disorders. The primary MR method used was the random effects inverse variance weighted (IVW) approach.

[Pancreatic cystic neoplasms: work-up and surveillance].

Whereas pancreatic masses are often difficult to detect with transabdominal ultrasound, cross-sectional imaging features high sensitivity for the pancreatic tumors. However, increasing availability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has led to a surge in the detection of benign or precancerous pancreatic lesions. The medical history is characteristic only for two entities.

Endoscopic submucosal dissection for the treatment of gastrointestinal neoplasia in a tertiary-care center in Mexico.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the experience of using endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), a technique considered as first-line of treatment, for the management of early neoplastic lesions (ENL), and subepithelial lesions (SEL) < 4 cms in size, in a tertiary-care, high-volume medical center in Mexico.

Method: Patients > 18 years-old, candidates to ESD with ENL and SMT, between January 2008 and October 2022 were included.

Results: ESD was performed in 246 patients (137 ENL and 109 SMT), 52.

ILF2 protein is a promising serum biomarker for early detection of gastric cancer.

Background: Our previous small-sample study indicated that serum levels of interleukin enhancer binding factor 2 (ILF2) may have the potential for gastric cancer (GC) detection. The present study was conducted to further validate the diagnostic value of serum ILF2 protein for GC.

Methods: Serum specimens and clinical data were collected from patients with GC (n = 99) or benign gastric disease (BGD) (n = 49) and healthy controls (HC) (n = 51).

Artificial intelligence efficiently predicts gastric lesions, infection and lymph node metastasis upon endoscopic images.

Objective: Medical images have been increased rapidly in digital medicine era, presenting an opportunity for the intervention of artificial intelligence (AI). In order to explore the value of convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithms in endoscopic images, we developed an AI-assisted comprehensive analysis system for endoscopic images and explored its performance in clinical real scenarios.

Methods: A total of 6,270 white light endoscopic images from 516 cases were used to train 14 different CNN models.

Robotic-Assisted Endoluminal Resection of Gastroesophageal Junction Leiomyoma with Transoral Specimen Extraction: Technique, Outcome, and Safety.

Background: Leiomyomas are benign smooth muscle tumors found at the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) ( Mathew G, Osueni A, Carter YM. Esophageal Leiomyoma. StatPearls.

Errate: A Retrospective Study of 290 Patients with Resectable Benign and Malignant Gastric Neoplasms to Compare Postoperative Outcomes of Endoscopic Resection with and without the Internal Traction Method Using a Spring-and-Loop with Clip (S-O Clip).

The authors have identified an error in Table 5 concerning the dissection speed. It is currently listed as follows: S-O group 14.5±9.

Gastric neoplasm detection of computer-aided detection-assisted esophagogastroduodenoscopy changes with implement scenarios: a real-world study.

Background And Aim: The implementation of computer-aided detection (CAD) devices in esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) could autonomously identify gastric precancerous lesions and neoplasms and reduce the miss rate of gastric neoplasms in prospective trials. However, there is still insufficient evidence of their use in real-life clinical practice.

Methods: A real-world, two-center study was conducted at Wenzhou Central Hospital (WCH) and Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University (RHWU).
