Abstract:
A 62-year-old man with right upper quadrant pain and fever was found to have numerous hepatic masses. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided tissue acquisition (EUS-TA) using a 22-gauge fine-needle biopsy enabled diagnosis of high-grade T-cell lymphoma without adverse events. This case underscores the potential of EUS-TA as a safe and effective alternative to percutaneous biopsy for hepatic malignant lymphoma.

Diagnosing Acidosis and Alkalosis
First, the pH level is assessed to determine whether the blood pH is normal (7.35–7.45), low (acidosis), or high (alkalosis).
Next, the PCO2 and...
