Mashup Score: 0Impact of peroral endoscopic myotomy on high-resolution manometry findings and their association with the procedure’s outcomes - 1 year(s) ago
Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is conducted for patients with esophageal motility disorders based on high-resolution manometry (HRM) findings. However, the impact of POEM on HRM findings and the associations between post-POEM HRM and outcomes have not been clarified.

Although narrow-band imaging (NBI) is a useful modality for detecting and delineating esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), there is a risk of incorrectly determining the margins of some lesions even with NBI. This study aimed to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) system for detecting superficial ESCC and precancerous lesions and delineating the extent of lesions under NBI.

Mashup Score: 3Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy in Subjects with Positive Faecal Occult Blood Test Undergoing Colonoscopy: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis - 1 year(s) ago
The role of gastroscopy to investigate the upper gastrointestinal (UGI) tract in subjects with positive faecal occult blood test (FOBT+) is controversial. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis, which aimed to determine the prevalence of UGI lesions in FOBT+ subjects.

Mashup Score: 1Auxiliary diagnosis of subepithelial lesions by impedance measurement during endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy - 1 year(s) ago
EUS-guided FNA/biopsy (EUS-FNA/B) is the citerion standard for diagnosing subepithelial lesions (SELs); however, its diagnostic ability for SELs <20 mm is low. We developed a new diagnostic method to differentiate between GI stromal tumor (GIST) and non-GIST by measuring high-frequency impedance (H-impedance) using an EUS-FNB needle.

Treatment strategies for small pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) <2 cm in size are still under debate. The feasibility and safety of EUS-guided ethanol ablation (EUS-EA) have been demonstrated. However, sample sizes in previous studies were small with no comparative studies on surgery. Therefore, we aimed to compare the safety and long-term outcomes of EUS-EA with those of surgery for the...

Mashup Score: 4
Even in the era of biologic therapy and other pharmaceutical wonders, some patients with Crohn’s disease will still develop strictures that warrant endoscopic intervention. In my experience, many otherwise capable endoscopists are hesitant to attempt to treat these lesions. I suspect that in many cases they are worried about causing an injury in a patient with an already compromised bowel or are…

Mashup Score: 5Top tips for endoscopic biliary stenting for hilar obstruction - 1 year(s) ago
The endoscopic management by ERCP of malignant biliary strictures at the hilum is one of the most challenging, and potentially dangerous, procedures performed in all of interventional endoscopy. It is critical to have an endoscopic treatment plan in mind based on preprocedure imaging, but with the understanding that anatomic realities that may be encountered during ERCP could alter that plan….

For EUS-guided fine-needle biopsy sampling (EUS-FNB) of solid pancreatic lesions (SPLs), the role of sampling strategy between targeted biopsy sampling and wide sampling has not been reported. This study aimed to investigate the benefits of the 2 sampling techniques on EUS-FNB using rapid on-site evaluation.

Mashup Score: 0Modified double-layered suturing for a mucosal defect after colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (Origami method) (with video) - 1 year(s) ago
Through-the-scope clips (TTSCs) are among the most common devices used to close colorectal post–endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) defects. Although TTSCs are easy to deliver, even to the proximal colon, simple clipping of large defects results in mucosa–mucosa closure, which could be unreliable. We developed a novel endoscopic closure technique using a modified double-layered suturing called…
