The recent increase in the incidence of superficial esophageal cancer and promising developments in potentially curative endoscopic therapies have placed endoscopic ultrasound in a central position with regard to decision making. This is a review of the literature to determine the role of endoscopic ultrasound and high frequency probe ultrasonography in the assessment of superficial esophageal ...

Endoscopic ultrasound is recommended for rectal cancer staging. Transrectal ultrasound approach is able to overcome one of the limitations of this technique regarding circumferential rectal stenosis. Prior intrarectal administration of a small amount of fluid contrast agent optimizes the method, making it easier to distinguish the layers of the rectal wall and tumor formation. Endoscopic ultras...

A review and update on tridimensional ultrasonography covering all its aspects, ultrasonography and 3D endoscopic ultrasonography, its technical details and current indications, such as volume calculation, vascular architecture assessment, and role in interventionist ultrasounds. Images included are from the author's own experience.

Abdominal and pelvic abscesses can occur as a consequence of surgery and are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. It is well accepted that the primary treatment is antibiotic therapy and minimally invasive drainage. Surgical measures are typically reserved for patients with luminal perforations or those who do not respond to conservative measures. Previously available modalities...

We demonstrate that the proximity-induced exchange field H(ex) in ferromagnetic-paramagnetic bilayers can be modulated with an electric field. An electrostatic gate arrangement is used to tune the magnitude of H(ex) in the Al component of EuS/Al bilayers. In samples with H(ex)~2 T, we were able to produce modulations of ±10 mT with the application of perpendicular electric fields of the order o...
