5Th Edition (2012) Tems and Disease Management That They Will Need to Be Available in Conjunction with the Fully Conversant in to Successfully Complete the Exam Welcome to ACG 2012! The Premier GI Clinical Event of the Year! Dear Colleagues, Welcome to ACG 2012, ACG’s Annual Scientific Meeting and Postgraduate Course, the premier GI clinical event of the year. The Postgraduate Course Directors and ACG’s Educational Affairs Committee, along with the Friday Course Directors, have brought together internationally recognized experts and rising stars in the field. This year’s program promises to deliver the latest clinical updates in gastroenterology and hepatology, plus discuss what is on the horizon that may impact your practice. Back by popular demand is the Hands-on Workshop Center. Located in the Exhibit Hall, we’ve added additional sessions for the most popular topics: Advanced Polypectomy, Hemostasis Techniques, Foreign Body Removal and Mucosal Ablation Methods. Other popular sessions to be offered include ERCP and Cholangioscopy Techniques, EUS and FNA, Enteroscopy, Suturing and Closures, Esophageal and Anorectal Motility Disorders, Capsule Endoscopy and more. Five of the more than 20 sessions to be offered are for GI fellows only. Pre-registration for any hands-on session is required. See the Hands-on Workshop Center counter at the ACG Registration Desk beginning Saturday, October 20th. For a complete list of sessions and time, see page 14. Hands- on session begin on Sunday, October 21st. Last year we beta tested a new app that allowed Postgraduate Course attendees to download the session slides. The app was so popular, this year we’ve expanded the app to the Annual Meeting session slides. The app, eventScribe, powered by CadmiumCD, allows users the opportunity to download to your iPad current slides available from presenters and lets you to take notes and highlight slides of interest. Visit the CadmiumCD counter at the ACG Registration Desk for more information or to download the slides. 2012 was a record-breaking year for abstract submissions. You’ll find more than 1700 posters and oral presentations this year. Poster presentations open on Sunday beginning at 3:30 pm. Posters may be found in the Exhibit Hall. A popular activity to view posters is the Poster Rounds with the Experts. Each day of the poster sessions, well-known experts will lead attendees around to posters of interest. This is a great opportunity to discuss posters, garner insight from the experts, and make new contacts with other attendees in a low-key, relaxed environment. Poster Rounds with the Experts run from Sunday through Tuesday. Two social events are open to all attendees this year. The big Exhibit Hall Opening Reception, formerly the President’s Reception, will take place on Sunday, October 21, from 5:15 pm – 7:00 pm, immediately following the Postgraduate Course. The largest social event at the meeting, it is a great opportunity to enjoy food and drink with colleagues and friends and to explore the Exhibit Hall in support of the meeting’s sponsors. New this year is a light reception honoring the ACG President, in association with the ACG Annual Business Meeting, on Monday, October 22 beginning at 5:45 pm. Enjoy light snacks and drinks as we elect a new slate of officers. Join the leadership of the College and visit with your friends at these important collegial events. In closing, I want to thank you for the opportunity to serve you this year as ACG President. Your support has made the College more successful than ever. I welcome everyone to the ACG 2012 Annual Scientific Meeting and Postgraduate Course: live, learn and prosper! Sincerely, Lawrence R.

The tumor had a diameter of 35mm on the CT scan and was diagnosed as pancreatic head carcinoma T3N0M0. The patient was treated with pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy. Histopathological examination showed that the tumor had grown within a hollow structure, was contiguous with a duodenal diverticulum, and had partially invaded the pancreas. Immunohistochemistry results were as follows: CK7 negative, CK20 positive, CD10 negative, CDX2 positive, MUC1 negative, MUC2 positive, MUC5AC negative, and MUC6 negative. The tumor was diagnosed as duodenal carcinoma from the duodenal diverticu- lum. Preoperative imaging showed that the tumor was located in the head of the pancreas and was compressing the common bile duct, thus making it appear like pancreatic cancer. To the best of our knowledge, this is the second report of a case of duodenal carcinoma from a duodenal diverticulum mimicking pancreatic carcinoma.

    The Hong Kong Polytechnic University Institute of Textiles and Clothing Strategic networking and transactional performance: a study of the Hong Kong clothing industry By Lau Mei Mei A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 2007 To My Family for Their Loves, Support and Understanding ii ABSTRACT Transaction cost analysis, relational governance and social capital issues have long drawn considerable attention from marketing scholars. In this research, transaction cost analysis, relational governance and social capital are used to understand buyer-supplier networking relationships within Hong Kong. By considering these theoretical perspectives together, this research focuses on the link between the antecedents of strategic networking, the intensity of collaborative relationships and transaction costs, between Hong Kong clothing manufacturers and their suppliers. The constructs of trust, commitment, reputation, communication, cooperation, risk management, guanxi , asset specificity, relationship continuity, size of supplier base and transaction costs are studied. Since the influence of Asian culture on strategic networking has not yet been satisfactorily explored, this research attempts to fill the gap by investigating the ways in which strategic networking between buyers and suppliers reduces transaction costs in the Hong Kong clothing manufacturing industry. A theoretical framework for networking relationships was integrated from the literature to investigate three research questions: RQ 1: How do the antecedents of strategic networking affect the intensity of collaborative relationships? RQ 2: How do the antecedents of strategic networking affect transaction costs? RQ 3: How does the intensity of collaborative relationships affect transaction costs? To answer these research questions, a two-stage approach was used, which consisted of theory building and theory testing.

  • Prevention and Management of Duodenal Polyps in Familial Adenomatous Polyposis
    RECENT ADVANCES IN CLINICAL PRACTICE PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT OF DUODENAL POLYPS IN FAMILIAL Gut: first published as 10.1136/gut.2004.053843 on 10 June 2005. Downloaded from 1034 ADENOMATOUS POLYPOSIS L A A Brosens, J J Keller, G J A Offerhaus, M Goggins, F M Giardiello Gut 2005;54:1034–1043. doi: 10.1136/gut.2004.053843 amilial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is one of two well described forms of hereditary colorectal cancer. The primary cause of death from this syndrome is colorectal cancer which inevitably Fdevelops usually by the fifth decade of life. Screening by genetic testing and endoscopy in concert with prophylactic surgery has significantly improved the overall survival of FAP patients. However, less well appreciated by medical providers is the second leading cause of death in FAP, duodenal adenocarcinoma. This review will discuss the clinicopathological features, management, and prevention of duodenal neoplasia in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis. c FAMILIAL ADENOMATOUS POLYPOSIS FAP is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by a germline mutation in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene. FAP is characterised by the development of multiple (>100) adenomas in the colorectum. Colorectal polyposis develops by age 15 years in 50% and age 35 years in 95% of patients. The lifetime risk of colorectal carcinoma is virtually 100% if patients are not treated by colectomy.1 Patients with FAP can also develop a wide variety of extraintestinal findings. These include cutaneous lesions (lipomas, fibromas, and sebaceous and epidermoid cysts), desmoid tumours, osteomas, occult radio-opaque jaw lesions, dental abnormalities, congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium, and nasopharyngeal angiofibroma.

  • Cancer Surgeries in the Time of COVID-19: a Message from the SSO President and President-Elect
    Cancer Surgeries in the Time of COVID-19: A Message from the SSO President and President-Elect March 23, 2020 Dear SSO Members, In these unprecedented times, we are forced to consider triage and rationing of cancer surgery cases. Here are a few of the reasons: • the potential shortage of supplies, such as masks, gowns, gloves • the potential shortage of hospital personnel due to sickness, quarantine and duties at home • the potential shortage of hospital beds, ICU beds and ventilators • the desire to maximize social distancing amongst our patients, colleagues and staff. We have asked each of the SSO Disease Site Work Group Chairs and Vice Chairs to provide their recommendations for managing care in their specialties, assuming a 3- to 6-month delay in care. We have summarized their recommendations below. Numerous organizations are publishing in-depth guidelines, such as the NCCN, ACS, and ASCO, and we will provide links to those documents on the SSO Website. We have also instituted a COVID-19 community discussion page in My SSO Community for members to share what is happening in their institutions. In the next few days, SSO will produce a series of podcasts featuring discussions with experts, regarding their opinions and institutional practices. These podcasts will be available on SSO’s Website, iTunes, Sticher and other podcast platforms. Please watch your email and SSO’s Twitter and Facebook pages for details. The Annals of Surgical Oncology will be publishing an editorial on this topic soon. As each institution across the world is experiencing this pandemic at different levels, the timing of rationing care will vary and must be decided locally.

Internal Medicine, University of California, Riverside School of Medicine, Riverside, USA 2. Graduate Medical Education, Riverside Community Hospital, Riverside, USA Corresponding author: Rasiq Zackria, [email protected] Abstract Periampullary carcinoma is a broad term used to define the group of carcinomas arising from the head of the pancreas, the distal common bile duct, and the duodenum. It is clinically important to differentiate ampullary from periampullary carcinoma as this can affect resectability and prognosis. Atypical left-sided chest pain is an atypical presentation of periampullary duodenal adenocarcinoma. A 58-year-old man presented with a two-month duration of worsening intermittent, atypical, migratory left-sided chest pain. Imaging studies were unremarkable; however, endoscopic evaluation demonstrated a duodenal mass. While most periampullary carcinomas are generally curable with pancreaticoduodenectomy, if left untreated, these tumors are uniformly fatal. Categories: Gastroenterology, General Surgery, Oncology Keywords: periampullary carcinoma, duodenal neoplasm Introduction Periampullary carcinoma is a broad term used to define the group of carcinomas arising from the head of the pancreas, the distal common bile duct, and the duodenum. Overall, periampullary carcinoma accounts for more than 30,000 deaths per annum in the United States. This neoplasia should be differentiated from ampullary carcinoma, as periampullary carcinoma tumor is anatomically centered in the region of the ampulla of Vater and the duodenal portion of the bile and pancreatic duct. It is clinically important to differentiate ampullary from periampullary carcinoma as this can affect resectability and prognosis.
