Development of Clinical Algorithm Utilizing Vibration-Controlled Transient Elastography to Detect Advanced Hepatic Fibrosis in Liver Transplant Recipients
ConclusionThe proposed clinical sequential covering analysis allows for better risk stratification when evaluating for advanced fibrosis in LT recipients compared to LSM alone. Additional efforts are necessary to further reduce the number of patients with indeterminate results in whom a liver biopsy may be required. (Source: Digestive Diseases and Sciences)

Added Value of 13C Analysis in Breath Tests in H2-Negative Subjects to Diagnose Lactose Malabsorption: A Proof of Concept Study
ConclusionsIn individuals with genetically demonstrated lactase non-persistence and negative hydrogen breath test, the use of13C-lactose with measurement of13CO2 excretion and hydrogen is a well-performing test to detect the lactose malabsorption and performs better than methane in our cohort.

Effect of Suboptimal Disease Control on Patient Quality of Life: Real-World Data from the Observational IBD-PODCAST Canada Trial
ConclusionsApproximately 50% (CD) and 40% (UC) of patients from real-world Canadian practices had suboptimal disease control based on STRIDE-II criteria. Suboptimal control was underestimated by patients and clinicians and accompanied by reduced QoL, suggesting further efforts to implement STRIDE-II treat-to-target strategies are needed.

Assessment of the Learning Curve for a Single-Use Disposable Duodenoscope
ConclusionAmong experienced pancreaticobiliary endoscopists, approximately 10 ERCPs is the threshold whereby procedure-related factors including cannulation success and procedural time improves. Procedure-related adverse events are consistent with those expected with reusable duodenoscopes. The need to cross-over from single-use duodenoscope to reusable duodenoscope did not appear to be related to the learning curve, as they were evenly distributed across the study period. These results can be used to guide adoption of single-use duodenoscopes into clinical practice. (Source: Digestive Diseases and Sciences)
