Topical hemostatic agents in the management of upper gastrointestinal bleeding: a meta-analysis
Conclusions Topical hemostatic agents are effective and safe in the management of UGIB with favorable outcomes when compared to conventional endoscopic modalities across a variety of bleeding etiologies. This is especially true in novel subgroup analyses that assessed immediate hemostasis and rebleeding among RCTs and in malignant bleeding. Due to methodological limitations of available data, additional studies are needed to ascertain their effectiveness more confidently in the management of patients with UGIB.

Multicenter retrospective cohort of EUS-guided anterograde pancreatic duct access
Conclusions EUS-guided anterograde pancreas access is a feasible salvage method if retrograde access fails. The duct can be cannulated, and drainage can be achieved in the majority of cases. Success rates improve over time. Future research may involve investigation into technical, patient and procedural factors contributing to rendezvous success.

Degree of pharyngeal deformation caused by pharyngeal endoscopic submucosal dissection is associated with the incidence of aspiration pneumonia
Conclusions The incidence of aspiration pneumonia in the long-term course after pharyngeal ESD was revealed. The incidence of aspiration pneumonia may be associated with pharyngeal deformity, but further studies are needed.

Hemostatic spray (TC-325) vs. standard endoscopic therapy for non-variceal gastrointestinal bleeding: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Conclusions Our analysis shows that for acute NV GIB, including oozing/spurting hemorrhage, TC-325 does not result in higher rates of primary hemostasis compared to SET. However, lower rates of failures were seen with TC-325 than SET. In addition, there was no difference in the two modalities when comparing rates of rebleeding and LOS.
