Jonathan M. Wyse, Anand V. Sahai
Unrelenting pain from chronic pancreatitis (CP) and pancreatic cancer (PC)
remain clinical challenges for the physician and a significant cause of
decreased quality of life for the patient. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided
therapy for each condition is distinct and builds on the endosonographer’s

Robert P. McCabe
Most primary immunodeficiencies are diagnosed in children and, therefore, are
managed by pediatricians and pediatric specialists. Generally, internists and
adult gastroenterologists only rarely encounter patients with primary
immunodeficiency, and have little or no involvement in actual treatment.

To review the recently published literature on biliary and pancreatic stents.
Covered self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) are increasingly being used in the
endoscopic management of benign biliary strictures. Given the costs associated
with SEMS, plastic stents are still the most commonly used stents. In this
setting, SEMS are preferred over plastic stents for palliation of malignant
biliary strict... hiện toàn bộ

Yuri A. Saito, Jean C. Fox
The diagnosis of functional abdominal pain should be made based on the Rome II
symptom criteria with only limited testing to exclude other disease. During
physical examination the clinician may look for evidence of pain behavior which
would be supportive of the diagnosis. Reassurance and proper education regarding
the clinical entity of functional abdominal pain is critical for successful
treatmen... hiện toàn bộ

After orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT), biliary duct complications can
occur in as many as 10% to 35% of patients. In the early medical and surgical
literature, surgical therapy was the primary mode of management of biliary tract
complications and was the eventual course of operative intervention in up to 70%
of cases. However, with recent advances in therapeutic biliary endoscopy, the
