Endoscopes

02/01/2002 - "However, the most recent zoom endoscopes, with improved mechanical characteristics and a standard diameter, have now opened up relevant applications in the analysis of early esophageal or gastric malignancies. "
09/08/2023 - "Investigations of these effects together are very useful due to their important vital applications in various scientific fields, especially in medicine and medical industries, such as endoscopes, respirators, and diverse medical implementations, as nanoparticles can be utilized in the remedy of cancer tumors. "
02/03/2023 - "In fact, the combination of microscope and endoscope grants the advantages of both tools being very useful to assure a complete excision of intracranial tumors. "
04/01/2021 - "The advantage of the endoscope is enhanced visualization and improved panoramic view that can result in more complete removal of the tumor. "
01/01/2018 - "Tumor removal should be the first treatment option for patients with small VSs and preserved hearing, especially for young patients with good hearing; retrosigmoid approach is an effective and safe approach for small VSs removal with excellent functional outcomes; better preoperative hearing predicted a higher rate of postoperative hearing preservation; patients without fundal extension were more likely to achieve hearing preservation than those with fundal extension, but no difference had been detected when retrosigmoid removal assisted with endoscope was performed; patients with small tumors originating from SVN were more likely to achieve hearing preservation compared with those with IVN-originating tumors."

11/01/2017 - "In this pilot study, prompted EtO sterilization in high-risk patients has thus far eliminated endoscope-associated MDRO transmission, although no CRE infections were noted throughout the institution during the study period. "
12/01/2022 - "Duodenoscope-associated transmission of infections has raised questions about efficacy of endoscope reprocessing using high-level disinfection (HLD). "
10/01/2006 - "The new procedure and agents represent a new approach to biofilm control that may improve the efficacy of endoscope reprocessing, and reduce the risk of transmitting infections."
01/01/2023 - "Microbiological surveillance, along with strict adherence to reprocessing protocols, may help to detect endoscope contamination at an early stage, and reduce the risk of duodenoscope-associated infections."
10/01/2009 - "Though the current surveillance system did not prevent the infections in three patients, our microbiological surveillance protocol with routine culturing of endoscopes was helpful in detecting the source of contamination and probably avoided numerous cross-contaminations in other patients who underwent ERCP procedures with endoscopes."

06/01/2016 - "Then, a fully covered stent was inserted, as the 0.035" guide wire was passed through stenosis retrogradely by using an Olympus Exera II GIF-N180 (4.9 mm in diameter endoscope) via surgical gastrostomy, with a good outcome for the patient. "
01/01/2004 - "Strictures of gastrointestinal tract (GI) within reach of the endoscope may be treated successfully with dilatation. "
09/01/1990 - "We have found that dilation with a bougie, balloon, or a prototype dilating endoscope can provide especially beneficial results when used on patients with strictures resulting from inflammatory disease or external compression. "
10/18/2023 - "This technique has already been shown to be effective in a recent case series with a 4.7 mm working channel endoscope, and may represent a new treatment option for central or bilateral lateral recess stenosis. "
01/01/2021 - "Minimally invasive decompression with a 10-mm endoscope was suggested to be a safe and effective method, as expected, for the treatment of lumbar stenosis in ADS patients."

10/01/2005 - "Intraventricular hemorrhage, analogously to other ventricular diseases, can be treated successfully with flexible endoscopes. "
06/01/2021 - "The technique was effective with the endoscope in retroflexed position and could be combined with gel immersion endoscopy to first identify the location of hemorrhage. "
10/15/2015 - "Cap-assisted hemoclip application with a forward-viewing endoscope appears to be an effective therapeutic modality for achieving hemostasis in cases of ES-induced hemorrhage, without the occurrence of any severe adverse events; we believe that this method should be considered as an option in the management of ES-induced hemorrhage."
03/01/2015 - "The two-handed endoscopic technique that utilized a mounted rigid endoscope proved very useful and safe, since it enabled easy stanching of hemorrhages. "
01/01/2019 - "However, conventional plasma sources are too big for use with endoscopes, and the efficacy of LTP for achieving hemostasis in cases of gastrointestinal bleeding is difficult to investigate. "

12/23/2010 - "The CT-ventriculography findings helped in identifying the lesions and plan the surgical intervention that was performed with the aid of an endoscope to remove the cysts. "
06/01/2008 - "The endoscope can be considered a first-line treatment for these lesions, with the understanding that a small number of these patients may need an open craniotomy to remove residual cysts."
04/01/2007 - "The endoscope can be considered a first-line treatment for these lesions, with the understanding that a small number of these patients may need an open craniotomy to remove residual cysts."
11/01/2023 - "The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility and evaluate the clinical effects of transnasal marsupialization of maxillary cyst under nasal endoscope. "
10/22/2021 - "Nevertheless, this study has limitations designed as a preliminary report focusing on the feasibility of endoscope-assisted cyst enucleation in the oral and maxillofacial regions."
