    Nodularity-like appearance in the cardia: novel endoscopic findings for Helicobacter pylori infection

    Osamu Toyoshima et al.Endosc Int Open 2020: doi: 10.1055/a-1136-9890

    Helicobacter pylori-associated nodular gastritis, which is associated with follicular lymphoid hyperplasia, is mainly recognized in the antrum. However, the authors have also observed nodularity-like appearance in the cardia. This study aimed to investigate the clinical significance of cardiac nodularity-like appearance in H. pylori-associated gastritis.

    Use of washing cytology from removed self-expandable metal stents for biliary strictures: a novel cytology method

    Kazunari Nakahara et al.Endosc Int Open 2020: doi: 10.1055/a-1144-2668

    Removability is one of the important features of biliary covered self-expandable metal stents (CSEMS). In this study, the authors evaluated the diagnostic ability of washing cytology of removed CSEMS.

    Digital per-oral cholangioscopy to diagnose and manage biliary duct disorders: a single-center retrospective study

    Carlos Robles-Medranda et al.Endosc Int Open 2020: doi: 10.1055/a-1153-8950

    Digital, per-oral cholangioscopy (POCS) allows diagnosis of biliary ducts disorders and treatment for complicated stones. The authors aimed to determine the diagnostic accuracy of digital POCS systems for stricture lesions and the factors precluding complete biliary stone clearance. 265 cases were included in the study.
