Gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) is a rare but an important cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) and commonly presents as occult bleeding that manifests as iron deficiency anemia (IDA). GAVE is commonly associated with chronic illnesses, most frequently liver cirrhosis and connective tissue diseases. The pathogenesis of GAVE is sti...
Trainee involvement increases precut rates and delays access to the common bile duct without an increase in procedure-re...
Published in Romanian Journal of Internal Medicine
Background and aims. Selective cannulation of the desired duct is a key element in ERCP procedures and an important step in the training of fellows. However, there is limited data about technical success and patient safety for ERCPs conducted in a training setting.We aimed to evaluate the impact of trainee involvement on the cannulation technique a...
Imagerie polarimétrique active par brisure d’orthogonalité
La polarisation de la lumière est très souvent utilisée en imagerie pour caractériser certaines propriétés de la matière, ou pour mettre en évidence des zones qui ne seraient peu ou pas contrastées avec des caméras d’intensité classiques. Nous explorons le potentiel d’une nouvelle technique de polarimétrie, dite de « brisure d’orthogonalité », pour...
A cat with suspected laryngeal metastasis with mucosal irregularity resulting from apocrine/salivary gland adenocarcinom...
Published in The Journal of veterinary medical science
A 16-year-old castrated male mongrel cat presented with swelling under the left pinna and a 3 -month history of voice change. Laryngeal endoscopy revealed circumferential oedema around the arytenoid cartilages and hypersecretion of saliva. Histopathological examination of the mass around the left ear canal was considered the primary lesion that ori...
Endoscopic management of foreign bodies in the upper gastrointestinal tract: a retrospective study of 1294 cases.

Published in Oncotarget
The fluorescent contrast agent indocyanine green (ICG) is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for clinical applications. We previously reported that cultured human colon tumor cells preferentially take up ICG by endocytic activity in association with disruption of their tight junctions. The present study explored ICG availability in fluore...
