Abstract:
This review describes the technique of laparoscopic ultrasound (LUS) in staging tumors of the upper gastrointestinal tract including the liver and pancreas and explores the evidence to support its role. LUS can prevent unnecessary laparotomy, particularly by detecting unsuspected focal liver lesions.

01:28Peptic Ulcer Disease III: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies
Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) presents with diverse symptoms depending on the location and severity of the ulcer. Clinical manifestations of peptic ulcer include dull pain and a burning sensation in the mid-epigastric region.
Few clinical manifestations differentiate gastric ulcers from duodenal ulcers. Distinctions in the location, timing, and pain relief are crucial for healthcare providers in differentiating between gastric and duodenal ulcers during clinical assessments.
