Authors: N. Young, P. Elbe, N. Oussi, C. Höög, M. Vujasinovic, F. Swahn, G. Sandblom, L. Enochsson
Journal: Endoscopy (2024)

Aims In Sweden, there is no standardized education for endoscopists. Usually, the training takes place locally at each department, where most resident lack the opportunity to train in a simulated environment before they perform a clinical gastroscopy. The aim of the study was to investigate whether the course "Basic Endoscopy" is perceived as meaningful and that participating resident physicians in surgery and gastroenterology improved technically in a simulated environment.

Authors: E. Alanna, D. Rauber, M. Ayoub, L. Birzle, T. Matsmura, A. Prbost, I. Steinbrück, S. Nagl, C. Römmele, M. Meinikheim, M. W. Scheppach, C. Palm, H. Messmann
Journal: Endoscopy (2024)

Aims Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems in gastrointestinal endoscopy are narrow because they are trained to solve only one specific task. Unlike Narrow-AI, general AI systems may be able to solve multiple and unrelated tasks. We aimed to understand whether an AI system trained to detect, characterize, and segment early Barrett's neoplasia (Barrett's AI) is only capable of detecting this pathology or can also detect and segment other diseases like early squamous cell cancer (SCC).

Authors: M. Cobreros del Caz, M. Moreta, J. Londoño-Castillo, R. Sánchez-Ocaña, C. De La Serna Higuera, M. Perez-Miranda
Journal: Endoscopy (2024)

Abstract Text Introduction: EUS-GBD for internalization of prior percutaneous cholecystostomy may be technically challenging. Case: Acute cholecystitis in patient is drained percutaneously. Elective EUS-GBD is offered. The collapsed gallbladder is imaged from the antrum. Saline injected through the percutaneous drain facilitates distention. After 19G-needle puncture a guidewire coils into the GB. A hot 10x10-mm LAMS is avanced and deployed. Friction during catheter retraction results in uncontrolled release of the proximal flange, deployed in the peritoneum. LAMS repositioning into the stomach by traction from the proximal flange fails. A second 15x10 LAMS is deployed inside the first LAMS after dilating, is easily repositioned and the gap bridged. Comment: LAMS-into-LAMS repositioning served as salvage of misdeployement.

Authors: C. Robles-Medranda, R. Del Valle, M. Egas-Izquierdo, M. Puga-Tejada, J. Baquerizo-Burgos, D. Cunto, M. Arevalo-Mora, J. Alcivar-Vasquez, H. Pitanga-Lukashok
Journal: Endoscopy (2024)

Aims Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are the most common malignant subepithelial lesions (SELs) in the GI tract. Due to GIST's notable vascularity and deep location, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is the first-line diagnostic approach. Color-doppler EUS, power-doppler EUS, and e-FLOW EUS, are useful for real-time vascularity detection; however, they are not effective for fine/slow flow vessel detection. Therefore, contrast enhanced EUS (CE-EUS) is proposed as a first-line approach. To avoid contrastrelated adverse events, a novel diagnostic method, detective flow imaging endoscopic ultrasonography (DFI-EUS) has emerged. We aim to evaluate the utility of DFI-EUS in the diagnosis and differentiation of gastrointestinal SELs (GIST and leiomyomas) in comparison to CE-EUS.

Journal: Endoscopy (2024)

Aims In Barrett's esophagus, guidelines recommend at least once-daily proton pump inhibitor (PPI) administration [1] [2]. Pathologic esophageal acid exposure may persist despite symptom control, and pH-impedance data while on PPI treatment are scarce. We aimed to determine the role of pH-impedance testing in asymptomatic Barrett's patients to clarify acid exposure and guide PPI management.
EUS-guided transgastric drainage of pancreaticopleural fistulas- single center experience
Authors: K. M. Pawlak, M. Jagielski, K. Khalaf, J. Piątkowski, M. Jackowski
Journal: Endoscopy (2024)

Aims Pancreaticopleural fistula (PPF) poses a rare and challenging complication of pancreatitis, leading to respiratory symptoms. With no established standard of management, endoscopy emerges as an alternative approach. However, challenges arise with transpapillary drainage during ERCP, particularly when inflammatory changes affect periampullary area. While endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guided drainage presents a potential alternative, its efficacy and safety in this context have not been evaluated. This case report aims to assess efficacy and safety of EUS-guided transgastric drainage of PPF.
Stenosis of superior mesenteric artery – can endoscopic ultrasound become a diagnostic method of choice?
Authors: I. Budimir, F. Babić, T. Pavic, M. Nikolić, L. Novosel, D. Hrabar, N. Ljubičić
Journal: Endoscopy (2024)

Aims Mesenteric ischemia is a rare condition caused by a reduction in the intestinal blood flow and can be classified as acute or chronic depending on the time course of symptoms. The main etiological factor is atherosclerotic narrowing of the origins of the celiac or superior mesenteric arteries (SMAs), but clinical manifestations are rare. Due to the importance of timely diagnosis, guidelines recommend to perform the computed tomographic (CT) angiography as a gold standard in the patients with suggestive symptoms. The aim of this study was to present the diagnostic dilemmas in determining clinically significant stenosis of SMA that manifested with recurrent episodes of acute postprandial abdominal pain (also known as "intestinal angina") and significant weight loss.

Journal: Endoscopy (2024)

Abstract Text A 28-year-old man, previously healthy, presented with bloody diarrhea, abdominal pain and weight loss. He also reported fever and migratory polyarthralgias with 2 weeks of evolution. The analytical study revealed hypochromic microcytic anemia (Hb 9.8 g/dL), thrombocytosis (501x10^9/L) and elevated CRP (11.07 mg/dL). The rectosigmoidoscopy showed from the rectum to the distal sigmoid, with decreasing severity, edematous mucosa, with loss of vascular pattern, adherent mucus, some ulcers and small vesicles. Biopsies were performed which revealed reactional and architectural changes in the crypts. When asked about risky sexual behaviors, tha patient mentioned unprotected MSM contacts in the last 12 months. Rectal exudate detected Chlamydia trachomatis, establishing the diagnosis of C. trachomatis proctitis The remaining tests diagnosed HIV/HVC co-infection. [1]

Cancer diagnosis and treatment in working‐age adults: Implications for employment, health insurance coverage, and financial hardship in the United States
Authors: K. Robin Yabroff, Joanna F. Doran, Jingxuan Zhao, Fumiko Chino, Ya‐Chen Tina Shih, Xuesong Han, Zhiyuan Zheng, Cathy J. Bradley, Monica F. Bryant
Journal: CA A Cancer Journal for Clinicians (2024)

The rising costs of cancer care and subsequent medical financial hardship for cancer survivors and families are well documented in the United States. Less attention has been paid to employment disruptions and loss of household income after a cancer diagnosis and during treatment, potentially resulting in lasting financial hardship, particularly for working-age adults not yet age-eligible for Medicare coverage and their families. In this article, the authors use a composite patient case to illustrate the adverse consequences of cancer diagnosis and treatment for employment, health insurance coverage, household income, and other aspects of financial hardship. They summarize existing research and provide nationally representative estimates of multiple aspects of financial hardship and health insurance coverage, benefit design, and employee benefits, such as paid sick leave, among working-age adults with a history of cancer and compare them with estimates among working-age adults without a history of cancer from the most recently available years of the National Health Interview Survey (2019-2021). Then, the authors identify opportunities for addressing employment and health insurance coverage challenges at multiple levels, including federal, state, and local policies; employers; cancer care delivery organizations; and nonprofit organizations. These efforts, when informed by research to identify best practices, can potentially help mitigate the financial hardship associated with cancer.
Liver biopsy guided by endoscopic ultrasound
Authors: M. Razov Radas
Journal: Endoscopy (2024)

Aims Liver biopsy, guided by endoscopic ultrasound, has emerged in recent years as a safe, economical, highly effective method of obtaining an adequate tissue sample for analysis by a pathologist. In our institution, we use it to diagnose focal changes in the liver, parenchymal liver diseases and accumulation diseases such as hemochromatosis. According to The American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) , an adequate liver biopsy sample is a 2- to 3-cm-long specimen containing at least 11 complete portal tracts. This is concordant with the recommendation from the British Royal College of Pathology, requiring at least 2-cm-long specimen and >10 portal tracts.

Authors: C. Iglesias Sobrino, L. Arranz Hernández, L. Bermejo Navazo, S. Correa Torres, E. Suarez Zambrano, S. Acosta Lopez, M. San Juan Acosta, S. Morales González, P. Borque Barrera
Journal: Endoscopy (2024)

Abstract Text We present a case of a 78-year-old male, from Portugal, with a history of laparoscopic sigmoidectomy for colorectal neoplasm in 2018, as well as, focal epilepsy, colonic diverticulosis, hepatic hemangioma, ischemic heart disease with by-pass and a biological aortic prothesis. We met the patient in 2018 with a first episode of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding. A complete endoscopic study was conducted at that time, revealing multiple erosions in the distal jejunum and proximal ileum as the cause of the bleeding. In 2023, he had another episode of melena. It was decided to repeat the capsule endoscopy that suggested a neoplastic origin of the bleeding, and a decision was made for surgical resection. Ultimately, the histological study confirmed the diagnosis of well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor with infiltration of mesenteric fat (pT3Nx). [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]
