Contrast-Enhanced Endoscopic Ultrasound Guided Fine Needle Aspiration for the Diagnosis of Pancreatic Carcinoma: A Case Report

The evaluation of pancreatic head lesions poses a great challenge for gastroenterologists. We report a case of pancreatic carcinoma in a 62-year-old man, who presented with a history of intermittent abdominal pain for one month. Due to its nonspecific clinical presentation and imaging features of CT, MRI and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), diagnosis of pancreatic carcinoma …

A Hepatocelluar Co-Culture System for the Investigation of Cellular-Based Mechanisms of Troglitazone-Induced Liver Injury

Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a serious issue faced by the pharmaceutical industry, and often leads to drug withdrawal once patients experience drug-induced severe hepatic failure. We developed an in vitro assay system that enables to assess cellular damage and immune reaction responses that ultimately result in DILI using troglitazone as a model drug….

Three Cases of Intentional Ingestions of Intact Cellular Phones Retrieved from the Gastrointestinal Tract

Foreign bodies in the gastrointestinal tract are frequently encountered by gastroenterologists. This in- cludes ingestions as well as insertions via the rectum. However, ingestions/insertions of intact cellular phones are rare. We present a case series of small cellular telephones which were removed from the gastrointestinal tract. Two in separate
