Endoscopic ultrasound and endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy in the evaluation of upper gastrointestinal tract subepithelial lesions – a single center’s experience in the Philippines
Subepithelial masses (SEMs) are common incidental findings during routine endoscopy and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has been established as the modality of choice for the evaluation of these lesions. Diagnostic accuracy for differentiating benign versus malignant SEMs range from 48-68% in some studies. In the Philippines, EUS has only been recently used for the past 5 years and is limited to only a few centers nationwide. This study created a descriptive ...
Accuracy of Emergency Medicine resident-performed bedside ultrasound in diagnosing cholelithiasis: a retrospective study
Abdominal pain secondary to cholelithiasis is one of the most frequent causes of emergency room visits. Point-of-care ultrasound has the potential to help in the quick assessment of the presence of cholelithiasis speeding up the management of patients. This study aims to determine the accuracy of emergency medicine (EM) resident-conducted bedside/point-of-care ultrasonography to detect cholelithiasis in patients with suspected biliary colic.
Clinical Utility of Point of Care Ultrasound in Severe Ankle Ligament Injuries at St. Luke’s Medical Center-QC Emergency Department
The most common mechanism of ankle injury is inversion and plantar flexion, which often leads to tearing of the lateral ligaments complex. Ankle sprains are injuries commonly encountered and often under-diagnosed in the ER and little is known with regard to the best diagnostic modality for them.
