Highlights from the 2006 Digestive Disease Week May 20-25, 2006, Los Angeles, CA. In this meeting review, many of our editorial board members report on Digestive Disease Week 2006. They highlight the most noteworthy presentations in their respective areas of expertise, including the latest treatments, technologies, and diagnostic advances in ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, Helicobacter pylori infection, gastroesophageal reflux disease, irritable bowel syndrome, colorectal cancer, pancreatic and biliary disease, and liver disease.

Since endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) was first developed in the 1980s, this technology has emerged as the principal modality for imaging the pancreas. When compared with other imaging techniques, EUS can more accurately image solid lesions of the pancreas and determine vascular involvement that might preclude surgery. Furthermore, EUS-guided fine needle aspiration allows safe and accurate sampling and histological diagnosis of these lesions. EUS also plays a large role in the evaluation of cystic lesions of the pancreas. EUS cyst morphology, as well as fluid analysis obtained by fine needle aspiration, can often be used to diagnose the etiology of these lesions, helping the clinician to more accurately assess the presence or potential for malignancy. EUS can also predict the probability of the presence of chronic pancreatitis, primarily on the basis of histological correlates. The focus of this review is to discuss the role of EUS in these and other commonly encountered pancreatic diseases.

Argon plasma coagulation (APC) is a thermoablative technique increasingly being used in endoscopy. Since its introduction, the flexible APC probe has been employed by endoscopists throughout the world. APC has helped change the endoscopic management of many gastrointestinal (GI) diseases, including hemorrhagic proctitis, watermelon stomach, bleeding peptic ulcer, and colonic varices. Endoscopists and surgeons are creatively combining standard and new electrosurgical techniques with APC. For instance, APC used in combination with piecemeal polypectomy, endoscopic mucosal resection, balloon dilatation for strictures, and plasma welding of bleeding vessels after sclerotherapy injection are among the recent innovative techniques reported. Other emerging innovations using APC that are being considered include endoscopic en bloc resection of mucosal and submucosal tumors of the GI tract, endoscopic mucosal resection supplemented with APC for high-grade dysplasia and early GI cancers, endoscopic repair of anastomotic strictures, and welding GI fistula tracts. As such, endoscopists require more efficient and cost-effective multifunctional thermoablative probes. This review discusses the development and the potential application of dual-mode plasma endoscopic probes in fulfilling these emerging needs.
