EDGE PROCEDURE: ESOPHAGEAL STENT TO THE RESCUE
Authors: J. Ferreira-Silva, P. Pereira, F. Vilas-Boas, E. Rodrigues-Pinto, G. Macedo
Journal: Endoscopy (2022)

We present the case of a patient with a history of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery submitted to endoscopic ultrasound-directed transGastric ERCP due to common bile duct stricture in the context of pancreatic adenocarcinoma. ERCP was complicated with difficult duodenoscope passage into the gastric remnant due to LAMS position and loop formation. In this case, duodenoscope passage to gastric remnant was only possible after esophageal stent deployment in a trans-LAMS position. This is a safe and effective solution to a technical problem that could otherwise derail the procedure's success.

EARLY VERSUS DELAYED ENTERAL NUTRITION FOLLOWING ENDOSCOPIC VARICEAL BANDING IN LIVER CIRRHOSIS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS
Authors: A. Yadav, H. Qaider, E. Slattery
Journal: Endoscopy (2022)

Aims Bleeding oesophageal varices is a common complication of liver cirrhosis and are associated with high mortality. It is common practise to fast patients for 24 to 48 hours post variceal band therapy. However, there is paucity of evidence behind this practise and delayed nutrition can be detrimental to this cohort of patients. Our aim for conducting this systematic review was to explore the efficacy and safety of early enteral nutrition versus delayed enteral nutrition post endoscopic variceal banding.

Journal: Eurosurveillance (2022)

Behavioural sciences have complemented medical and epidemiological sciences in the response to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. As vaccination uptake continues to increase across the EU/EEA - including booster vaccinations - behavioural science research remains important for both pandemic policy, planning of services and communication. From a behavioural perspective, the following three areas are key as the pandemic progresses: (i) attaining and maintaining high levels of vaccination including booster doses across all groups in society, including socially vulnerable populations, (ii) informing sustainable pandemic policies and ensuring adherence to basic prevention measures to protect the most vulnerable population, and (iii) facilitating population preparedness and willingness to support and adhere to the reimposition of restrictions locally or regionally whenever outbreaks may occur. Based on mixed-methods research, expert consultations, and engagement with communities, behavioural data and interventions can thus be important to prevent and effectively respond to local or regional outbreaks, and to minimise socioeconomic and health disparities. In this Perspective, we briefly outline these topics from a European viewpoint, while recognising the importance of considering the specific context in individual countries.

Smoking and Risk of Prostate Cancer and Prostate Cancer Death: A Pooled Study
Authors: Sylvia H.J. Jochems, Josef Fritz, Christel Häggström, Bengt Järvholm, Pär Stattin, Tanja Stocks
Journal: European Urology (2022)

Prospective and detailed investigations of smoking and prostate cancer (PCa) risk and death are lacking.To investigate prediagnosis smoking habit (status, intensity, duration, and cessation) as a risk factor, on its own and combined with body mass index (BMI), for PCa incidence and death.We included 351448 men with smoking information from five Swedish cohorts.We used Cox regression to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) and confidence intervals (CIs) for PCa incidence (n = 24731) and death (n = 4322).Smoking was associated with a lower risk of any PCa (HR 0.89, 95% CI 0.86-0.92), which was most pronounced for low-risk PCa (HR 0.74, 95% CI 0.69-0.79) and was restricted to PCa cases diagnosed in the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) era. Smoking was associated with a higher risk of PCa death in the full cohort (HR 1.10, 95% CI 1.02-1.18) and in case-only analysis adjusted for clinical characteristics (HR 1.20, 95% CI 1.11-1.31), which was a consistent finding across case groups (p = 0.8 for heterogeneity). Associations by smoking intensity and, to lesser degree, smoking duration and cessation, supported the associations for smoking status. Smoking in combination with obesity (BMI ≥30 kg/m2) further decreased the risk of low-risk PCa incidence (HR 0.40, 95% CI 0.30-0.53 compared to never smokers with BMI <25 kg/m2) and further increased the risk of PCa death (HR 1.49, 95% CI 1.21-1.84). A limitation of the study is that only a subgroup of men had information on smoking habit around the time of their PCa diagnosis.The lower PCa risk for smokers in the PSA era, particularly for low-risk PCa, can probably be attributed to low uptake of PSA testing by smokers. Poor survival for smokers, particularly obese smokers, requires further study to clarify the underlying causes and the preventive potential of smoking intervention for PCa death.Smokers have a higher risk of dying from prostate cancer, which further increases with obesity.
ENDOSCOPIC FULL THICKNESS RESECTION IS SAFE AND EFFECTIVE FOR THE TREATMENT OF SIGMOID SCHWANNOMAS
Authors: M. De Siena, F. Barbaro, L.G. Papparella, C. Ciuffini, S. Pecere, I. Boškoski, L. Petruzziello, G. Costamagna
Journal: Endoscopy (2022)

A 49-year-old man was referred to our center after being diagnosed with distal sigmoid Schwannoma. We decided to perform a full-thickness resection (FTR) of the lesion. First we proceed to mark the lesion’s edges with the FTRD Marking Probe (Olympus) and then we proceed to remove the lesion with the FTRD System Set (OVESCO Endoscopy). No periprocedural complications were observed. The patient, after adequate observation, was discharged in good general conditions from our hospital on the same day. We believe that FTR represents a safe and effective technique for the treatment of Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GISTs) of the colon.

Authors: D. Berretti, S. Cassarano, M. Marino, A. De Pellegrin, S. Pevere, M. Carbone, D. Macor, S. Solito, J. Panos Zamora, E. Zucchi, M. Zilli
Journal: Endoscopy (2022)

Aims Metastases to the pancreas (MP) are rare, frequently presenting with no specific clinical signs or symptoms and discovered incidentally, therefore difficult to characterize and differenziate from a primitive pancreatic tumor. EUS-FNA is well recognized as a useful diagnostic tool in this setting. However, data regarding the diagnostic significance of EUS-FNA in patients with MP has not been well established and few studies have explored this aspect. Our aim is to investigate first the role of EUS-FNA and secondly the impact of some EUS findings in supporting the suspected diagnosis of MP.

UNDERWATER ENDOSCOPIC SUBMUCOSAL DISSECTION OF A RECURRENT COLONIC ADENOMA
Authors: G. Luglio, P. Cecinato
Journal: Endoscopy (2022)

A patient with recurrent adenoma after piecemeal resection of a transverse colon LST was referred to our hospital. Endoscopy showed two sessile polyps (Kudo IV) with central scar (30 mm in total). Colon was filled with saline, underwater ESD was performed using Dual Knife (Olympus, Tokyo). Due to severe fibrosis, it was impossible to dissect mucosal and muscolar layers so we resected muscular tissue, preserving serosal layer. Dissection was completed and tumor removed en bloc without adverse events. Specimen showed HGD adenoma and R0. Our case shows that underwater ESD is safe and effective for recurrent adenomas with severe fibrosis.
