Image J as the quantification tool in endosonography strain elastography may be reflected in the disturbance of endocrine pancreatic dysfunction.

Objectives: Pancreatic fibrosis is one of the main pathological features of chronic pancreatitis (CP), suggesting a strong relationship between CP and pancreatic ductal cancer. There was no available data about pancreatic fibrosis and pancreatic dysfunction in the early CP (ECP) using endosonography (EUS).

Methods: Asymptomatic patients with pancreatic enzyme abnormalities (AP-P; = 56) and patients with ECP ( = 21) were determined by the absence of abnormal findings on upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, abdominal ultrasonography, and abdominal computed tomography.

Determination of gastric atrophy with artificial intelligence compared to the assessments of the modified Kyoto and OLGA classifications.

Background And Aim: Gastric atrophy is a precancerous lesion. We aimed to clarify whether gastric atrophy determined by artificial intelligence (AI) correlates with the diagnosis made by expert endoscopists using several endoscopic classifications, the Operative Link on Gastritis Assessment (OLGA) classification based on histological findings, and genotypes associated with gastric atrophy and cancer.

Methods: Two hundred seventy -positive outpatients were enrolled.
