Excerpt

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has been used for over 20 years in the evaluation and diagnosis of various gastrointestinal abnormalities [1]. The advent of fine-needle aspiration (FNA) has widened the spectrum of diagnostic EUS. We present a case of EUS FNA of a pelvic lipoma causing neurologic symptoms. We believe this to be the first such documented case diagnosed by EUS. …

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
