Efficacy and safety of cap-assisted endoscopic mucosal resection of ileocecal valve polyps Open
Background and study aims Standard endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) of ileocecal valve (ICV) polyps is challenging. Cap-assisted endoscopic mucosal resection (C-EMR) can be performed when polyps are not easily amenable to standard EMR. C…

The Expanding Role of Anti-IL-12 and/or Anti-IL-23 Antibodies in the Treatment of Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Open
The interleukin (IL)-12/IL-23 pathway is one of many proposed mechanistic pathways of intestinal inflammation. Earlier studies introduced IL-12 as a major cytokine in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease. However, the discovery o…

Diagnosis of primary squamous cell carcinoma of the pancreas using endoscopic ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy Open
Primary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the pancreas is a particularly rare entity. Diagnosis of this tumor is tentatively made after ruling out metastatic SCC from another primary site and adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) of the pancreas. H…
