Endoscopic ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (EUS-RFA) is an innovative technique that has emerged as a promising treatment option for pancreatic tumors, particularly pancreatic ...

The device delivers ultrasound energy to the patient’s pancreas and generates localized heat of up to 100 degrees Celsius that destroys cancer cells in the organ. Other types of ultrasound waves ...

Pancreatic cancer, one of the most formidable, could soon see its treatment transformed. Researchers have identified an enzyme, Mical2, which plays a central role in the progression of this disease.

Background and Aim: We report our single-centre experience with endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) of solid pancreatic lesions with regard to clinical utility ...

An experimental blood test for pancreatic cancer is being evaluated by a commercial laboratory, an important milestone toward making the test available for patients. An experimental blood test for ...

Acute pancreatic necrosis is relatively unusual. Acute pancreatic edema, on the contrary, is a common disease. Since Elman, 1 in 1935, called attention to it as a clinical entity and since the ...

But after a couple of years of work, xMEMS has arrived at the next generation — ultrasound through a solid-state speaker. This tiny, 1mm-thin speaker is called Cypress, and after listening to it ...

Fatty infiltration of the pancreas (FIP) has been recognized for nearly a century, yet many aspects of this condition remain unclear. Regular literature reviews on the diagnosis, consequences, and ...

Neurotoxicity manifests as temporary working memory impairment, delirium, seizures, and, in rare cases, acute cerebral edema. Tocilizumab, an anti–IL-6 receptor monoclonal antibody, is typically used ...

The pancreas is an organ behind the stomach and near the spleen. It performs both exocrine and endocrine functions. The exocrine cells release digestive enzymes to assist with breaking down food. The ...

The role of ultrasound in ME imaging is very limited and gives only a rough indication of ME in occasional cases with severe media opacities. It has, however, an important role in detection of the ...
