The EUS-FNA procedures were performed under general anesthesia by three experimented endoscopists. The echoendoscopic examination was performed with radial (GF-UE160-AL5, Olympus, Tokyo, Japan) and/or linear (GF-UC140P-AL5, Olympus, Tokyo, Japan) echoendoscopes, and cytological samples were obtained using three back-and-forth passages with 22 G needles. The samples was placed in Hank's solution, fixed in AFA (absolute alcohol: 50%, 40% formaldehyde: 20%, acetic acid: 5%, and distilled water: 25%) and embedded in paraffin. The slides were stained with hematoxylin-eosin-safran and analysed by a pathologist who classified the samples as follows: positive for malignancy, suspicious for malignancy, negative for malignancy or benign lesion and non-contributive. In cases of non-contributive FNA, the histological confirmation was obtained using a second FNA, biopsy or a surgical procedure
according to the clinical context.

Endoscopic Ultrasound Examination Techniques

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

Endoscopic ultrasound examination included the use of the EU-ME2 PP ultrasound host (Olympus Japan), MAJ-935 or MAJ-1720 ultrasound probe driver, UM-2R, UM-3R ultrasound microprobe, or the GF-UE160-AL5 radial array scanning endoscope. Ultrasound scanning was performed by the water injection method. The liquid and gas in the gastric cavity were first removed, and the target lesions of ultrasonic scanning were displayed and confirmed. Then, water was slowly injected at a low flow rate, and the lesion was completely immersed in degassed water following suction of gastric air. The micro-probe was taken out of the endoscopic channel for ultrasound scanning, and for larger lesions, a radial scanning ultrasound was used for ultrasound scanning. The following features were recorded: location, size, the presence of mucosal ulceration, shape, original layer, echogenicity, echo uniformity, the presence of marginal halos, cystic change, and calcification.

Diagnostic Utility of EUS in Pancreatic Disorders

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

All EUS procedures were performed with either a radial (GF-UE160-AL5; Olympus, Tokyo, Japan) or linear (GF-UC140P-AL5; Olympus, Tokyo, Japan) echoendoscope by an experienced endoscopist who had performed more than 2,000 EUS procedures. Demographic data, clinical presentations, laboratory results, radiological findings, EUS findings, cytopathological results, and follow-up data of all included patients were collected. The definite diagnosis was determined by the results of ERCP, cytology, or histology obtained from EUS-guided tissue acquisition (EUS-TA), surgical pathology, and clinical, laboratory, and radiological follow-up for at least 12 months.

Comparing EUS-Guided Liver Biopsy and MRI

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

We performed a retrospective chart review of consecutive patients who underwent EUS-MLB and MRE at Baptist Medical Center between April 2015 and October 2016. The permission to obtain retrospective review and publication of data was exempted by the Institutional Review Board. Patients were referred for EUS to evaluate for structural biliary tract disease as a cause of abnormal liver-associated tests. If the EUS exam did not determine that pancreatobiliary disease or other focal abnormalities were present, a decision was made to perform EUS-MLB.
Echoendoscopy was performed using a standard linear-array echoendoscope (GF-UE160-AL5, Olympus America, Center Valley, PA). EUS-MLB under real-time ultrasound guidance was performed by using a commercially available 19-gauge needle (SharkCore). The left lobe of the liver was accessed by transgastric route and the right lobe was accessed by transduodenal route.
We measured the maximum intact core tissue length, total specimen length (TSL), and total number of complete portal tracts (CPTs). A comparison was performed between the histological diagnosis and fibrosis score based on MRE. The fibrosis score ranges from 0 to 4. Agreement between MRE and EUS-MLB fibrosis grade was summarized using accuracy and Spearman's rank correlation coefficient.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
