EUS offers a safe and noninvasive method of the biliary tract disorder evaluation. Although radial EUS provides a straightforward orientation, practicing biliary system examination with a curvilinear echoendoscope is advisable because of its added therapeutic benefits. Linear EUS may pose challenge in understanding the orientation and tracing nondilated bile duct in the beginning. However, adopting a systematic station-wise approach can help in comprehending the orientation and effectively tracing the entire bile duct. In this review, we have discussed linear EUS examination of the bile duct and gallbladder from various stations and its clinical applications.","PeriodicalId":43098,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Digestive Endoscopy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138595172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Multiple factors, including the type of medication, comorbidity, and method of ingestion play a role in causing drug-induced or pill esophagitis (PE). We analyzed the clinical, endoscopic, and histopathological profiles of PE cases at our gastroenterology outpatient clinic. Methods  Medical records of PE cases were reviewed retrospectively over a period of 5 years at a tertiary care hospital in India from May 2017 to May 2022. The data were collected and analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis. Results  A total of 30 patients diagnosed with PE were involved in the study. A slight male preponderance of 56.7% was noted with a mean age of 40.7 years. Odynophagia was the dominant symptom (70%) with a mean duration of symptoms of 5.63 days. The most common location was at the mid-esophagus (80%) followed by the lower esophagus (10%). The majority (56.7%; 17/30) had over-the-counter (OTC) drug consumption, followed by doxycycline (33.3%; 10/30). Kissing ulcers were seen in 30% of the subjects; 90% of the patients received a combination of proton pump inhibitors and sucralfate suspension for 2 weeks along with discontinuation of the causative drug, with a 96.7% resolution rate. Conclusion  OTC medication and antibiotics such as doxycycline are the leading cause of PE. Prompt recognition and discontinuation of the causative drug are crucial in preventing complications. Patient education is vital in preventing PE regarding the usage of OTC medicines in developing countries.","PeriodicalId":43098,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Digestive Endoscopy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138608303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective was to find out the efficacy of EUS-CPB in painful CP from our region where phenotype of CP is different from West and to find out factors favoring response to EUS-CPB. Methods and Results : Patients with known CP who underwent EUS-CPB were assessed for response to CPB. Response to EUS-CPB was recorded as more than 50% reduction in visual analogue scale (VAS) score for pain severity at 1 week, 4 weeks, 12 weeks and 24 weeks after procedure. Factors between responders and nonresponders were analyzed. Among 29 patients who underwent EUS-CPB during the study period, response was seen in 72.4% patients after the procedure. The mean time to response to EUS-CPB was 1.22 (± 0.43) days. Mean duration of response was 8 months (± 4.73). Short duration of painful CP (≤2 years) was seen in 15 patients (51.72%) and long duration (>2 years) was seen in 14 (48.27%). Among responders (21/29), those patients who had short duration of disease had significantly lower median VAS score at 12 weeks, (1 versus 3, p- value= 0.026) and at 24 weeks, (1.5 versus 2.5, p -value= 0.049), as compared to those with longer duration of disease. Overall, 83.3% males responded as compared to 54.54% females ( p  = 0.04). Significant proportion of subjects who responded either stopped or used analgesics occasionally ( p  < 0.0001). There was no statistically significant difference in response to EUS-CPB with respect to age, prior history of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), etiology of CP, prior history of surgery, or whether only EUS-CBP was done ( p  > 0.05 for all). Conclusion : EUS-CPB can be effective when used in select group of painful CP patient who are not immediate candidates for surgery especially in early course of disease. It can be offered to patients with persistent pain despite optimum medical therapy. When effective, it can reduce need for analgesic medication at least in short to medium term.","PeriodicalId":43098,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Digestive Endoscopy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139188299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study is aimed at comparing the amount of blood products transfused and bleeding rates in patients without liver disease, who underwent therapeutic endoscopic procedures with deranged screening coagulation tests (prothrombin time [PT]; activated partial thromboplastin time [aPTT]), with and without hypocoagulable ROTEM. Methods  Patients with deranged PT and aPTT without liver disease who underwent therapeutic endoscopic interventions during the period 2020 to 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Baseline parameters, amount of blood products transfused, and outcomes such as 30-day bleeding and mortality rates were recorded in those with and without hypocoagulable ROTEM. Results  Of the 204 patients with deranged PT/aPTT who underwent therapeutic endoscopy during the study period, 180 of those with liver disease were excluded. Six patients (M:F = 5:1; median age: 37, 20–54 years) had hypocoagulable ROTEM and 18 patients (M:F = 11:7; median age: 56, 20–71 years) had normo-/hypercoagulable ROTEM. There were significant differences in the total amount of fresh frozen plasma (FFP) transfused and FFP transfused per patient between the two groups (9,000 vs. 4,500 mL and 2,000 vs. 1,000 mL; p  = 0.04, respectively). Two patients with hypocoagulable ROTEM bled within 30 days, while none did in the comparator group ( p  = 0.03). One patient in the hypocoagulable group died within 30 days and none in the normo-/hypercoagulable group. Conclusion  The use of ROTEM reduces FFP requirement in patients without liver disease with deranged PT/aPTT undergoing therapeutic endoscopic procedures without any increased risk of early or late rebleeding, and 30-day mortality.","PeriodicalId":43098,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Digestive Endoscopy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139275754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
