Distinct ways to perform a liver biopsy: The core technique setups and updated understanding of these modalities Endosc. Ultrasound (IF 4.5) Pub Date : 2023-12-04 Chao Sun, Xingliang Zhao, Lei Shi, Xiaofei Fan, Xiaolong Qi
There is dramatically increased incidence of several liver diseases worldwide; thus, an unmet need to diagnose and stage these pathological entities heralds the wide application of liver biopsy (LB) techniques. The ways of LB are versatile, including percutaneous LB, transjugular LB, and more recently an approach of minimal invasiveness, that is, EUS-guided LB (EUS-LB). In this review article, we come

During the aging process, typical morphological changes occur in the pancreas, which leads to a specific "patchy lobular fibrosis in the elderly." The aging process in the pancreas is associated with changes in volume, dimensions, contour, and increasing intrapancreatic fat deposition. Typical changes are seen in ultrasonography, computed tomography, endosonography, and magnetic resonance imaging.

Background and Objectives In transpapillary biliary drainage, metal stents (MSs) exhibit a lower incidence of a biliary obstruction than plastic stents (PSs). However, few studies have compared recurrent biliary obstruction (RBO) when MSs and PSs are used in EUS-guided hepaticogastrostomy (EUS-HGS) and choledochoduodenostomy (EUS-CDS). We retrospectively evaluated the RBO for both stents in each procedure
