background: linear endoscopic ultrasonography (eus) is a proven modality for the diagnosis and treatment of different gastrointestinal lesions. the aim of this study was to describe the role of eus-fna in the evaluation of pancreatic and submucosal lesions. materials and methods: over a 1-year period, in a prospective descriptive study, patients referred to naft hospital, underwent linear eus. ...

background: endosonography is a distinct method in evaluating gastrointestinal (gi) structural lesions, particularly in the pancreatobiliary system. this procedure has made a fundamental change in the diagnosis of pancreatic mass lesions through fine needle aspiration (fna). this study aims to evaluate the results and efficacy of endosonographic fine needle aspiration (eus-fna) in patients pres...

the purpose of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic result of ct -guided celiac plexus block for managing intractable upper abdominal pain due to pancreatic carcinoma or chronic pancreatitis. we treated 22 cancer patients who were on regular narcotic medication. after an iv infusion of 10mllkg ringer&apos;s lactate solution, all patients were rolled onto prone position, and lidocaine was ...

Ocular involvement in lymphoma is a relatively rare condition that can result from a primary intraocular lymphoma or an intraocular manifestation of systemic lymphoma. Lymphoma manifestations frequently masquerade as other more benign intraocular conditions including allergic or infectious conjunctivitis, uveitis, multiple evanescent white dot syndrome, acute retinal necrosis, or herpetic retin...
