Na žlučové cesty, třeba při jejich ucpání či zúžení, je tu zajímavá metoda ERCP. Do jícnu a žaludku, například kvůli refluxní chorobě, se endoskopista zase podívá metodou gastroskopie. Plejáda endoskopických metod i technik a postupů se ovšem průběžně velmi podstatně rozrůstá.

Wie beeinflussen die neuen Abrechnungssysteme den Klinikalltag? Im Nachgang unseres DGVS DRG Forums vor einer Woche diskutieren Jörg Albert, Thomas Rösch und Petra Lynen am Beispiel von ERCP und Resektionen, welche Herausforderungen und Unsicherheiten die Umstellung mit sich bringt. Während die Ambulantisierung im Rahmen der aktuellen Abrechnungsvorgaben hauptsächlich durch wirtschaftliche Zwänge bestimmt wird, bleiben Entbürokratisierung und Qualitätssicherung auf der Strecke. Ein kritischer Blick auf die Realität hinter den Reformen.

In this episode, Martin talks to Cansu Cimen, a researcher at University Hospitals Groningen in the Netherlands, about a recent paper that documents an outbreak and in particular the critical role of next-generation sequencing (NGS) in tracking and controlling the transmission of MDROs via contaminated duodenoscopes. Focusing on an outbreak linked to ESBL-producing Citrobacter freundii and Klebsiella pneumoniae after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), standard culture methods failed to detect contamination. After many negative cultures using established methods, destructive dismantling of the implicated scope revealed contamination on hard-to-clean components, highlighting NGS as an effective tool for identifying pathogen transmission pathways.

Dr. Dawn explores the reliability of QuantiFERON TB tests, suggesting potential false positives and the importance of retesting with different antigen tubes. She discusses orthostatic hypotension in older adults, offering practical tips like squeezing a firm ball before standing up and proper standing techniques to prevent falls. The doctor explains the importance of vitamin A for vegans, highlighting potential BCMO1 genetic variations that may affect beta-carotene conversion and recommending blood tests. Dr. Dawn addresses a question about elevated bilirubin levels post-gallbladder removal, discussing possible causes and diagnostic procedures like MRI and ERCP.

Das Thema Krankenhausreform beschäftigt uns seit geraumer Zeit. In NRW wurden die Leistungsgruppen eingeführt, vor allem mit dem Ziel komplexe Eingriffe mehr und mehr zu zentralisieren und so die Qualität der Versorgung zu verbessern. Die Gastroenterologie ist davon bisher nicht betroffen, man könnte jetzt sagen, das ist gut so. Andererseits bedeutet es, dass unsere komplexen Leistungen, wie zum Beispiel die ERCP, um die es heute gehen wird, unter dem Radar laufen und vielleicht sogar drohen, in die allgemeine Innere Medizin abzudriften. Was aber würde dies für die Versorgungsqualität bedeuten? Petra Lynen plaudert heute mit Ludger Leifeld, Chefarzt am St. Bernward Krankenhaus in Hildesheim und Leiter DGVS Kommission Qualität über die Publikation „Einfluss der Spezialisierung auf die Erfolgs- und Komplikationsrate bei der ERCP“ und darüber, wie wichtig eine Zuordnung dieser komplexen Leistung zu unserem Fachgebiet ist.

In this EE epsiode we discuss with Amrita Sethi from New York again - we discuss recent randomized studies how to drain the bile duct in distal malignant obstruction: Via ERCP or via EUS access to place a metal stent

Last time with Nageshwar Reddy we saw exciting tips and tricks if ERCP cannulation becomes difficult. Now we can relax with his brilliant course of normal sphincterotomy

Master Nageshwar Reddy continues with his basic ERCP series and the hot topic of difficult cannulation

This is the start of an ERCP series with Master Nageshwar Reddy - the first episode is about how to position the papilla and how to cannulate

Dr. Komanduri shares how he performs a successful ERCP, explains how patient anatomy dictates planning and explores why the double-wire technique – using Autotome™ Pro RX Cannulating Sphincterotome – is his preferred approach to biliary access.

How Does Milk Thistle Work for Gallbladder Health? Benefits of Milk Thistle for Gallbladder Health Milk thistle has been shown to be effective in: Reducing symptoms of gallbladder problems, such as pain, nausea, and vomiting Preventing gallstones from forming Improving liver function Promoting overall bile duct health What is the gallbladder? The gallbladder is a pear-shaped organ located in the upper abdomen, just beneath the liver. It stores and concentrates bile, a fluid produced by the liver that helps break down fats in the small intestine. What are the functions of the gallbladder? The gallbladder's primary function is to store and concentrate bile. When you eat a fatty meal, your gallbladder contracts and squeezes bile into the small intestine, where it helps to emulsify fats so that they can be absorbed by the body. What are gallstones? Gallstones are hard deposits that can form in the gallbladder. They are typically made up of cholesterol, bile pigments, and proteins. Gallstones can cause pain and inflammation of the gallbladder, and they can also block the flow of bile, leading to jaundice and other complications. What are the symptoms of gallbladder problems? Common symptoms of gallbladder problems include: Abdominal pain, especially in the upper right quadrant Nausea and vomiting Fever and chills Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes) Light or clay-colored stools Dark urine What are the risk factors for gallbladder problems? Risk factors for gallbladder problems include: Being female Being overweight or obese Having a family history of gallstones Having diabetes Eating a high-fat diet Having low levels of "good" cholesterol (HDL) How are gallbladder problems diagnosed? Gallbladder problems are typically diagnosed with ultrasound or CT scans. In some cases, an ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) may be necessary to diagnose or treat gallbladder problems. How are gallbladder problems treated? Treatment for gallbladder problems depends on the severity of the condition. In some cases, dietary changes or medication may be sufficient to relieve symptoms. In more severe cases, surgery to remove the gallbladder (cholecystectomy) may be necessary. How can you prevent gallbladder problems? There are a number of things you can do to reduce your risk of developing gallbladder problems, including: Maintaining a healthy weight Eating a low-fat diet Getting regular exercise Controlling your blood sugar if you have diabetes Additional Information The gallbladder is not essential for life. People who have had their gallbladder removed can still live healthy lives. There are a number of natural remedies that may help to relieve symptoms of gallbladder problems, such as apple cider vinegar, turmeric, and milk thistle. It is important to see a doctor if you are experiencing any symptoms of gallbladder problems. Apple Cider Vinegar Apple cider vinegar is a type of vinegar made from fermented apples. It contains acetic acid, which has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Some studies suggest that apple cider vinegar may help to improve bile production and flow, which can help to prevent gallstones. Additionally, apple cider vinegar may help to reduce inflammation in the gallbladder. Turmeric Turmeric is a spice that has been used in traditional Indian medicine for centuries. It contains curcumin, a compound that has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Studies have shown that turmeric can help to reduce inflammation in the liver and gallbladder, and it may also help to prevent gallstones from forming. #gallbladderhealth,#gallbladders,#gallstones,#cholecystitis,#biliaryduct,#liverhealth,#pancreatichealth,#digestivesystem,#wellness,#healthyliving,#milkthistle,#silymarin,#naturalremedies,#herbalmedicine,#gallstones,#bileducts,#digestivehealth,#wellbeing, --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bhsales/message

Der neue AOP-Katalog stellt uns alle vor Herausforderungen: Operative Leistungen in der gastroenterologischen Endoskopie können in vielen Fällen ambulant durchgeführt werden und bedürfen in anderen Fällen einer stationären Überwachung, doch der neue AOP-Katalog bildet die Heterogenität endoskopischer Leistungen bei weitem nicht ab. Beispiele sind die interventionelle Koloskopie (EMR: endoskopische Mukosaresektion) und die Endoskopie der Gallenwege (ERCP: endoskopisch-retrograde Cholangiopankreatographie). Beide Leistungen sind seit vielen Jahren im AOP enthalten. Allerdings konnte sich eine ambulante Leistungserbringung in den letzten Jahren bei diesen Operationen nicht durchsetzen, da u. a. Strukturvoraussetzungen nicht erfüllt sind und eine spezialisierte Ausbildung in diesen Techniken an stationären Zentren beheimatet ist. Heiner Wedemeyer plaudert mit Ludger Leifeld, Vorsitzender der Kommission Qualität, über die Lücken im System, welche Möglichkeiten wir haben, mit den neuen Vorgaben umzugehen und wie wichtig es ist, als Fachgesellschaft Strukturvorgaben für eine qualitätsgetriebene, sektorübergreifende Versorgung zu machen.

Dr Kim Kucharski discusses her article, "Comparison of technical failures and patient-related adverse events associated with 3 widely used mechanical lithotripters for ERCP: insights from the FDA Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience (MAUDE) database" from the November issue.

Dr. Navin Kumar, an attending Gastroenterologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital, medical educator at Harvard Medical School, and co-founder of the Run the List podcast and host Blake Smith discuss how to approach a patient presenting with acute right-upper quadrant (RUQ) pain. Together, they discuss the various causes of RUQ pain, in addition to how to approach a set of liver function tests (LFTs), differentiating hepatocellular injury from a cholestatic pattern. They then discuss how various forms of imaging (RUQUS, CT) can guide diagnosis and management, leading to a discussion about the use of ERCP and cholecystectomy in such cases. Lastly, the episode closes with a diagnosis and three clinical pearls about RUQ pain and abnormal LFTs.

Health care providers use duodenoscopes in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). These procedures diagnose and treat diseases in the pancreas and bile ducts. But design flaws made them difficult to clean. This led to several outbreaks of antibiotic-resistant “superbug” infections and scope redesigns.

In this podcast episode, Peter B. Cotton, MD, FRCP, FRCS, professor of medicine at the Medical University of South Carolina, discusses the development and invention of the ERCP procedure, the innovation of digestive disease centers and more. Intro :02 Welcome to this episode of Gut Talk :23 About Cotton :23 The interview :37 Where did you grow up? :37 How did you get interested in gastroenterology? 1:38 That [trainees wanting to come to the endoscopy lab and not go to the basic science lab] must have put you in a difficult situation at times. How did you navigate that? 6:12 Could you tell us a little more about what that was like, from an operational perspective, of overseeing the endoscopy center, and perhaps how that role of operating in an endoscopy center as a trainee impacted you innovation in ER cepheid advanced endoscopy? 7:03 How flexible is the shaft of those initial endoscopes, and did you use sedation? 8:49 Is it a correct characterization that the building and innovation and inventions at this early stage in your career was really just to get the job done as opposed to you seeking out a role that was focused on inventing? 9:56 You were the only gastroenterologist at Middlesex for many years, correct? 10:52 How did that transition to Duke occur? … Did that [clinical load] drive a lot of your decision-making or was it more than that? 11:50 Where did the ERCP start? 15:11 How were you able to collaborate with other gastroenterologists and radiologists and surgeons? …What was that collaboration between these investigators that were really trying to drive this procedure forward like back in the Sixties and Seventies? 20:23 Were you able to pass endoscopic videos back and forth, or was that not really the way cases were shared? 21:36 About the Digestive Disorder Center at NUSC and Digestive Diseases Centers 24:43 Has it worked out the way you had envisioned? … What are the potential downfalls as people think about that type of Digestive Health Center model? 27:43 Summary of Cotton's memoir, The Tunnel at the End of the Light: My Endoscopic Journey in Six Decades 31:34 You also have written books for young children as well. What prompted you to writing and teaching one of the most complicated procedures to your book about “Fred the Snake”? 32:10 What are you most excited about with regards to opportunities facing younger gastroenterologists moving forward, and what advice would you give them to seize those opportunities? 34:54 Thank you Peter 36:42 Thanks for listening 36:58 Peter B.

Episode 94: Elevated Alk Phos. Akhil explains what to do when the alkaline phosphatase is elevated, including labs, imaging and other studies. This is Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California. Our program is affiliated with UCLA, and it's sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care physician for additional medical advice.Elevated Alk Phos. By Akhil Patel, MS4, American University of the Caribbean. Comments by Hector Arreaza, MD. Serum alkaline phosphatase: When you find elevated serum alkaline phosphatase, you must consider the two most common sources: the liver and bones. Other sources to consider include the third-trimester placenta, intestine, and kidneys. To determine if the abnormal elevation of alkaline phosphatase has clinical significance, you need to consider if it is a physiological or pathological elevation first. Ruling out physiological concerns: Typically, you should rule out physiological causes first as they are fewer and easier to determine via patient history. This can be even quicker to determine but also sometimes bypassed if a patient's history and labs present with more concerning etiologies of pathological elevation.Common causes of physiological elevations in alkaline phosphatase include pregnancy, patients with blood type O and B after eating a fatty meal, and younger children. Pregnancy: During pregnancy women in their third trimester will have elevated serum alk phos from the placenta. Blood type: During digestion, alk phos is released from the intestines in patients of blood type O and B. A postprandial increase can be 1.5 to 2 times the upper limit of normal in these patients, however, there is no clinical significance. Children: Younger children tend to have higher alk phos due to increased bone turnover. You can find a reference range chart online for different age groups. It is possible for alk phos to be up to three times higher in infancy and adolescence reflecting the ages with the highest bone growth velocity. Fun fact: Alkaline Phosphatase (also known as ALP) is a natural enzyme present in raw milk. Complete pasteurization will inactivate the enzyme in milk, therefore, presence of alkaline phosphatase in milk is an indicator of failed pasteurization. This is because the most heat-stable bacteria found in milk, Mycobacterium paratuberculosis, is destroyed by temperatures lower than those required to denature ALP.Evaluation of pathological alkaline phosphatase: Degree of elevation: Another consideration is the level of alk phos elevation. If alk phos is at least four times the upper limit of normal, then cholestasis is the likely cause with many specific etiologies to consider. If alk phos is not markedly elevated (four times the upper limit) then the cause is likely not as specific and many different etiologies should be considered whether hepatic or non-hepatic.  Liver source: Common symptoms: Jaundice, abdominal pain, ascites, easy bruising, nausea and/or vomiting, choluria, acholia or hypocholia, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, or anasarca.If alk phos is elevated along with liver function testing and bilirubin, it is easier to determine the liver etiology (hepatitis, cirrhosis). However, if it is an isolated elevation in alkaline phosphatase, then other sources must be considered more carefully. A helpful test at this point is to look at is GGT or serum 5'-Nucleotidase for elevation. Typically, these will be elevated with alk phos if it is of liver origin. If they are not increased, you should consider bone-related etiologies.-If a hepatic cause is determined, a right upper quadrant ultrasound is the best initial test to determine intrahepatic or extrahepatic causes. This imaging will look at the hepatic parenchyma and bile ducts. Biliary dilation on ultrasound suggests an extrahepatic cause while no dilation suggests an intrahepatic cause. Liver source with biliary dilation: CBD is considered dilated when >6mm. If biliary dilation is present suggesting an extrahepatic cause, ERCP or MRCP is the next best step in visualizing the cause with choledocholithiasis being the most common cause. Other causes to consider: malignant obstruction, primary sclerosing cholangitis strictures, chronic pancreatitis causing strictures, and AIDS cholangiopathy. Malignant obstructions can be from the pancreas, gallbladder, ampulla of vater, bile duct, or distant metastasis. If the results of these tests are inconclusive the next best step is to consider a liver biopsy. Liver source without biliary dilation: Without biliary dilation on ultrasound, there is a larger pool of etiologies to consider for intrahepatic causes: drug toxicity, primary biliary cirrhosis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, viral hepatitis, cholestasis of pregnancy, and total parenteral nutrition (TPN). Tests: Antimitochondrial antibody (AMA) testing is a good place to start at this point which would suggest primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and indicate confirmation with a liver biopsy. Other tests to order at this point include hepatitis panel, EBV and CMV, and possibly pregnancy testing. If patient history and these tests are all negative, the next best step to consider is a liver biopsy if alk phos is significantly elevated more than two times the upper limit of normal. Summary: GGT, Liver US, Dilated? -> MRCP, ERCP, CT scan of abdomen and pelvis. Non dilated? AMA, Hepatitis panel, EBV, CMV, pregnancy test.Fun fact: When Alkaline phosphatase is elevated you can order the test called Alkaline Phosphatase isoenzymes. You will get a result with percentages for each isoenzyme: ALPI – intestinal, ALPL – nonspecific, but mainly expressed in liver, bone, and kidney; ALPP – placental, and ALPG – germ cells.  Nonhepatic evaluation:With an isolated alkaline phosphatase elevation and normal GGT or serum 5'-Nucleotidase, the first thing to consider is bone-related pathologies involving high bone turnover: Healing fractures, osteomalacia, Paget's disease of bone, osteogenic sarcoma, bone metastasis, hyperparathyroidism, and hyperthyroidism. Patient history, ordering thyroid and parathyroid function testing, imaging with bone scintigraphy are all important in sorting through the differential of bone-related pathologies. Other extrahepatic diseases to consider that have shown elevated alkaline phosphatase include myeloid metaplasia, peritonitis, diabetes mellitus, subacute thyroiditis, uncomplicated gastric ulcer, and sepsis. Each of these has its own work up and an elevated alk phos level has little significance clinically.Paget's disease of bone: Paget disease of bone is a benign disorder that presents with focal areas of increased bone turnover in one or more skeletal sites. Mostly affects male older adults, but female patients can also be affected. Commonly affects the bones of the pelvis, spine, skull, and long bones. Pain is the most common symptom, and the presentation of the disease may depend on which bones are affected, the extent of involvement, and the presence of complications. Paget's disease of bone may be asymptomatic, incidental elevated serum alkaline phosphatase levels on routine labs or abnormal imaging tests performed for other reasons can point to Paget's disease of bone. Other common symptoms include deafness, and tight hats. Diagnosis is normally done by plain radiography and serum alkaline phosphatase. Radionuclide scans is used to determine the extent of disease. Treatment with nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates (zoledronic acid, risedronate, and alendronate).Complications of the disease include arthritis, gait changes, hearing loss, nerve compression syndromes, and osteosarcoma. Use serum alkaline phosphatase for assessing treatment response. Early diagnosis of Paget disease of bone is key in the management and patients have a better prognosis when treatment is initiated before complications. Consult with a specialist to confirm the diagnosis and start treatment.__________________________Conclusion: Now we conclude our episode number 94 “Elevated Alk Phos”. Elevated Alk Phos can be normal in some circumstances, mainly in pregnancy and childhood. You can start a workup when the alk phos is persistently elevated 4 times above the upper limit of normal. The most common causes can be grouped as hepatic and non-hepatic, and the bones is the most common non-hepatic source. Even without trying, every night you go to bed being a little wiser.This week we thank Hector Arreaza, and Akhil Patel. Audio edition: Suraj Amrutia. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

Arguably, the most exciting thing which has happen in ERCP, in the last 50 years, is EUS and the development of easy to place, 'lumen apposing metal stents' (LAMS).  It's transforming ERCP for the benefits of patients who no longer need to put up with painful PTC's.  Ideally, every region should offer this service but who should be referred for EUS-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) and what risks should you quote to your patients?  Monz Ahmed poses some probing questions to Bharat Paranandi and Aaron On in Leeds.

There's an uh-oh moment when you're told you have pancreatic cancer. But what happens before that? How do you know if you have the symptoms? In this episode we hear about the pancreatic cancer diagnosis for host Frank Roche. Yep, that's me. And I talk about what led me to being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer nine months ago: stomach cramps, dark urine, jaundice. And I talk about the rapid steps my PCP and gastroenterologist used to diagnose me initially -- sonogram, contrast CT, MRI -- and then the interventions they used to treat my jaundice and stage my cancer -- ERCP and EUS. This show is the beginning of a story. As of the publication of this show I have had 12 rounds of chemo, and I'll soon me moving to radiation and then surgery. In Episode 2 I'll talk about finding the best medical team to help me slay this dragon.
