Confocal Microscopy in the Esophagus and Stomach
Probe-based confocal microscopy (pCLE) is actively being investigated for applications in the esophagus and stomach. The use of pCLE allows real-time in vivo microscopy to evaluate the microarchitecture of the mucosal epithelium. pCLE appears to be particularly useful in identifying mucosal dysplasia and early malignancies that cannot be clearly distinguished using high-definition white light e...
متن کاملConfocal Laser Endomicroscopy and Molecular Imaging in Barrett Esophagus and Stomach
Detection of premalignant lesions in the upper gastrointestinal tract may facilitate endoscopic treatment and improve survival. Despite technological advances in white light endoscopy, its ability to detect premalignant lesions remains limited. Early detection could be improved by using advanced endoscopic imaging techniques, such as magnification endoscopy, narrow band imaging, i-scanning, fle...
متن کاملEsophagus, Stomach, and Duodenum
Patients with ingestion of foreign objects and esophageal food boluses commonly are seen in the emergency department (ED). Although most objects pass spontaneously, approximately 10 to 20% require a nonoperative intervention, and fewer than 1% require surgical removal. Death as a result of foreign body ingestion or impaction is rare. Patients with esophageal foreign bodies can be classified int...
متن کاملVariations of the Normal Human Limbal Stem Cells Detected by In Vivo Confocal Microscopy
Background To report normal variations of the limbal structures using in vivo laser scanning confocal microscopy. Methods: This was a retrospective study of fourteen eyes from 11 healthy individuals. Confocal imaging of cornea and limbus was performed using Heidelberg Retina Tomograph III Rostock Corneal Module. Results: The typical structure of the palisades of Vogt (POV) was detected ...
متن کاملNeoplasms of the esophagus and stomach.
Esophageal cancer is one of the most lethal of all neoplasms. During the last two decades, there have been significant changes in the epidemiology and treatment of esophageal cancer. The incidence of adenocarcinoma is increasing whereas that of squamous cancer is decreasing. Surgery, the mainstay of treatment of esophageal cancer, has been used with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy to improve prog...
