Effects of Early Initiation of Solid Versus Liquid Diet after Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection on Quality of Life and Postoperative Outcomes: A Prospective Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
Conclusion: Early initiation of solid foods after ESD is feasible and associated with higher QOL, potentially rendering conventional liquid diets unnecessary, although additional studies are needed (Trial registration number: UMIN000013297).Digestion (Source: Digestion)

Nonalcoholic-Fatty-Liver-Disease and Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis: Successful Development of Pharmacological Treatment Will Depend on Translational Research
Background: Nonalcoholic-fatty-liver-disease/nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NAFLD/NASH) is expected to become the leading liver disease worldwide. Typical liver-related complications are fibrosis, cirrhosis, and the development of hepatocellular cancer (HCC) with the need for liver transplantation. Up to now there is no approved pharmacotherapy. Indeed, this might be due to the complexity of this disease. While the cheapest therapeutic approach is still a lifestyle change leading to weight loss, the proportion of people achieving sufficient weight reduction without additional support is low. Newly developed drugs are expens...

Utility of Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection in the Remnant Stomach and Clinical Outcomes for Different Reconstruction Methods
Conclusions: Although technically demanding, ESD for early gastric tumor in the remnant stomach was a safe and effective therapeutic method. However, because the curative resection rate was lower for the more frequent lesions occurring at the anastomosis site after Billroth II reconstruction, early detection of remnant stomach tumor is desirable after Billroth II reconstruction following DG.Digestion (Source: Digestion)
