Gastrointestinal: Early endoscopic findings in watermelon stomach identified by the magnifying endoscopy-adaptive IHb color enhancement technique

Magnifying endoscopic findings of early duodenal adenocarcinoma in relation to the pathological findings.

tity, with an autopsy incidence reported to range from 0.02% to 0.12 % [1 ±3]. We recently experienced a case of early duo− denal adenocarcinoma, which we de− scribe here. We report the magnifying en− doscopic findings in relation to the histo− pathological findings. An 80−year−old man underwent upper endoscopy as part of a routine medical evaluation. This revealed a small elevated lesion in th...

Appropriateness, endoscopic findings and contributive yield of pediatric gastrointestinal endoscopy.

AIM To determine the predictability of the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (NASPGHAN) and American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) guideline with regard to appropriate endoscopic practice in children, positive endoscopic findings and contributive yield in clinical practice. METHODS This was a descriptive, retrospective analysis, co...

Magnifying Endoscopy and Chromoendoscopy in Upper Gastrointestinal Tract: Clinical Applications

Current Clinical Applications of Magnifying Endoscopy with Narrow Band Imaging in the Stomach

Narrow band imaging (NBI), in conjunction with magnifying endoscopy (ME), has arisen more and more attention in the area of advanced endoscopy. By enhancing the mucosal microvascular architecture and surface pattern, it is feasible to use ME-NBI to identify subtle changes associated with gastric inflammation, atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, and early gastric cancer. The new technique thus plays...

Clinical Application of Magnifying Endoscopy with Narrow-Band Imaging in the Stomach

Magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging (M-NBI) can visualize superficial microanatomies in the stomach. The normal morphology of the microanatomy visualized by M-NBI differs according to the part of the stomach. The gastric fundic glandular mucosa appears as a regular honeycomb-like subepithelial capillary network (SECN) pattern with a regular collecting venule pattern and regular oval c...
