Abstract

The July issue of Clinical Endoscopy deals with selected articles covering the state-of-the-art lectures delivered during the 50th seminar of the Korean Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (KSGE) on March 30, 2014, highlighting educational contents pertaining to either diagnostic or therapeutic gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy, which contain fundamental and essential points in GI endoscopy. KSGE is very proud of its seminar, which has been presented twice a year for the last 25 years, and hosted more than 3,500 participants at the current meeting. KSGE seminar is positioned as one of premier state-of-the-art seminars for endoscopy, covering topics for novice endoscopists and advanced experts, as well as diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy. The 50th KSGE seminar consists of more than 20 sessions, including a single special lecture, concurrent sessions for GI endoscopy nurses, and sessions exploring new technologies. Nine articles were selected from these prestigious lectures, and invited for publication in this special issue. This introductory review, prepared by the editors of Clinical Endoscopy, highlights core contents divided into four sessions: upper GI tract, lower GI tract, pancreatobiliary system, and other specialized topic sessions, including live demonstrations and hands-on courses.

Classification and grading of gastritis. The updated Sydney System. International Workshop on the Histopathology of Gastritis, Houston 1994.

M F Dixon, R M Genta, J Yardley … (1996)

The Sydney System for the classification of gastritis emphasized the importance of combining topographical, morphological, and etiological information into a schema that would help to generate reproducible and clinically useful diagnoses. To reappraise the Sydney System 4 years after its introduction, a group of gastrointestinal pathologists from various parts of the world met in Houston, Texas, in September 1994. The aims of the workshop were (a) to establish an agreed terminology of gastritis; (b) to identify, define, and attempt to resolve some of the problems associated with the Sydney System. This article introduces the Sydney System as it was revised at the Houston Gastritis Workshop and represents the consensus of the participants. Overall, the principles and grading of the Sydney System were only slightly modified, the grading being aided by the provision of a visual analogue scale. The terminology of the final classification has been improved to emphasize the distinction between the atrophic and nonatrophic stomach; the names used for each entity were selected because they are generally acceptable to both pathologists and gastroenterologists. In addition to the main categories and atrophic and nonatrophic gastritis, the special or distinctive forms are described and their respective diagnostic criteria are provided. The article includes practical guidelines for optimal biopsy sampling of the stomach, for the use of the visual analogue scales for grading the histopathologic features, and for the formulation of a comprehensive standardized diagnosis. A glossary of gastritis-related terms as used in this article is provided.

Differentiating intestinal tuberculosis from Crohn's disease: a diagnostic challenge.

Abdulrahman Aljebreen, Majid Almadi, Subrata Ghosh (2009)

With the changing epidemiology of Crohn's disease (CD) and intestinal tuberculosis (ITB), we are in an era where the difficulty facing physicians in discriminating between the two diseases has increased, and the morbidity and mortality resulting from a delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis is considerably high. In this article, we examine the changing trends in the epidemiology of CD and ITB, in addition to clinical features that aid in the differentiation of both diseases. The value of various laboratory, serological, and the tuberculin skin tests are reviewed as well. The use of an interferon-gamma-release assay, QuantiFERON-TB Gold, in the workup of these patients and its value in populations where the bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccine is still administered is discussed. Different radiological, endoscopic, and pathological similarities and features that can aid the clinician in reaching a rapid diagnosis are reviewed as well. The association between mycobacteria and CD, the concerns with the practice of antituberculosis medication trials in areas where tuberculosis (TB) is endemic, as well as extrapulmonary TB induced by the use of antitumor necrosis factor-alpha agents are delineated in this article. Furthermore, we propose an algorithm for the investigation of patients in whom the differential diagnosis encompasses CD and ITB.
