respectively. Conclusions: The CNN system based on endoscopic white-light images achieved high diagnostic performance for detection of atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia.
The etiology of hepatic granulomas varies depending on the epidemiology. In developed countries, primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is the main cause followed by sarcoidosis. In developing countries, it is tuberculosis. We present the case of a patient with chronic liver disease, whose anatomopathological diagnosis was compatible with sarcoidosis. It was a 55-year-old woman, with a history of type 2 diabetes (DBT), insulin-requiring and overweight. Her disease debuted with SAE, subsequently presenting HDA of variceal origin. She was referred to our institution for study. Physical examination has hepatosplenomegaly and in the laboratory FAL and yGT augmented with non-reactive anti-LKM and AMA. Ultrasonography of the abdomen showed hepatosplenomegaly, without focal images. Hepatic biopsy puncture was performed, which reported numerous portal-site granulomas. The ECA dose was increased. The diagnosis of sarcoidosis was established and treatment with deflazacort was started. She presented an upper gastrointestinal bleeding causing her death.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
