Intestinal Ultrasound (IUS) is emerging as a promising alternative, offering a safe, non-invasive and cost-effective option for patients. But how does it really work and what could it mean for your care? Could it be an easier, less invasive way to monitor IBD than endoscopy? 🤔 Join us on 29 January at 17:30 CET to our #EFCCATalk where we’ll explore these questions together with Kerri Novak MD, Gastroenterologist (University of Calgary) and the perspectives from 2 patient representatives (tbc). We’ll dive into the benefits, limitations, and future potential of IUS in IBD management. Let’s discuss, learn and empower each other! 👥 👉 Save your spot now: https://buff.ly/3Bfvj5E

📍 CLINICAL GUIDE: CANDIDA ESOPHAGITIS 🔍 Classic Appearance: • "Cottage cheese-like" white plaques • Multiple confluent, protuberant lesions • Yellowish-white appearance 🚩 Key Clinical Points: • Common in immunocompromised patients • Presents with dysphagia ("food sticking") • Distinguished from odynophagia (pain on swallowing) 💊 Management Approach: • Empiric fluconazole trial appropriate in right setting • If no improvement in 1 week → Endoscopy + biopsy • Duration: typically 7 days

In a randomized controlled trial involving 65 patients with unresectable cholangiocarcinoma, patients who received combined therapy—biliary stent placement plus radiofrequency ablation (#RFA)—had significantly longer survival (13.2 vs. 8.3 months, P < .001) Learn how our Endoluminal Radiofrequency Ablation (ELRA) technology can enhance patients’ palliative care through ASGE's (American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy) recent Technology Status Evaluation Report focused on Pancreas and Biliary Ablation Devices. Read article: https://lnkd.in/gQtAjrcD Get started with #ELRA: https://lnkd.in/dEadVk2M INDICATION: The ELRA Electrode is a radiofrequency (RF) catheter which provides bipolar energy to perform partial or complete ablation of tissue in the pancreatic and biliary tracts. #RFA #STARmedAmerica #ClinicalEvidence #PalliativeCare

Battling esophageal varices? AGC Tenwek Hospital's endoscopy department offers endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) to treat and prevent life-threatening bleeding from enlarged veins, mostly in liver cirrhosis patients. During the innovative EVL procedure, an endoscope is used to tie off the varices with tiny rubber bands, allowing them to safely scar over. If you or a loved one needs this life-saving treatment, contact us at 0717 971 768. Spread the word! #endoscopicvaricealligation

Giant esophageal tear during diagnostic endoscopy in EoE: What would you do? 🤔 Caught off guard by a giant esophageal tear during a diagnostic endoscopy in EoE? Don't panic! Here are 3 steps to help you through it: 🌬️ Step 1: Remain calm Staying composed is crucial in managing unexpected complications. Take a deep breath and focus on the task at hand. → Allows for clear thinking and decision making → Helps maintain a steady hand during the procedure 🧴 Step 2: Suction out the air in the stomach with CO2 if possible Removing excess air from the stomach can help improve visualization and reduce further damage. → Improves visibility of the tear site → Reduces risk of additional tearing due to distension → Allows for better assessment of the lesion's extent 🔍 Step 3: Change your scope to better target the lesion Switching to a more suitable scope can enhance your ability to manage the tear effectively. → Provides better maneuverability and access to the lesion → Allows for precise application of hemostatic techniques → Facilitates thorough evaluation and treatment of the tear Remember, staying calm and following these steps can help you successfully navigate this challenging situation in EoE patients.

⚕️ What's Best ⚕️ Colonoscopy or Endoscopy ❓ ➡️ When it comes to diagnosing gastrointestinal (GI) conditions, colonoscopy and endoscopy are two of the most common and essential procedures. ➡️ While both aim to investigate issues in the digestive tract, they serve distinct purposes. ➡️ Both procedures are minimally invasive, safe, and critical for diagnosing GI issues early. Early detection saves lives ❗ 🩺 Schedule your consultation today with Dr. Suresh Babu to learn more about these procedures! 👨⚕️ #DigestiveHealth #Colonoscopy #Endoscopy #PreventiveCare #HealthAwareness #GastrointestinalHealth #EarlyDetection #MedicalScreening #Drpsuresh #Eswarhospital #chennaihospital
