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.

Who will excel in advanced endoscopy? A study assessing the criteria and perceptions of experts with regard to selection of ERCP and EUS trainees
Conclusions This survey outlines trainee selection criteria for ERCP/EUS training. Non-technical skills are the most valued by TPDs/experts. While knowledge and technical expertise are clearly important, understanding that professional attitudes are highly regarded may help direct the application process more effectively.

Percutaneous endoscopic necrosectomy (PEN) for treatment of necrotizing pancreatitis: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusions PEN is a novel method of endoscopic management of pancreatic necrosis. Based on our meta-analysis of retrospective studies, it represents a safe treatment modality with high rates of clinical success and low rates of perioperative morbidity and mortality. This study supports the use of PEN when conventional endoscopic therapy is not feasible.

Endoscope reprocessing: Retrospective analysis of 90,311 samples
Conclusions This study demonstrates that additional efforts, including implementation of microbial surveillance strategies using a standardized sampling method and periodic observational audits, must be made to improve the overall microbiological quality of endoscopes and reduce the risk associated with their use.

Occupational radiation dose from gastrointestinal endoscopy procedures with special emphasis on eye lens doses in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography
Conclusions Occupational dose limits are unlikely to be exceeded in gastrointestinal endoscopy practice when following radiation-hygienic working methods and focusing on dose optimization. The eye lens dose equivalent Hp(3) may be estimated with sufficient agreement from the Hp(10) and Hp(0.07).

Efficacy and safety of repeated endoscopic radial incision and cutting procedure for benign esophageal stricture
Conclusions: Repeated RIC could be effective in the short-term and safe even for patients with refractory benign esophageal stricture after the first RIC. However, it cannot be considered curative treatment for refractory stricture because of poor long-term results.

Effect of biopsy protocol adherence vs non-adherence on dysplasia detection rates in Barrett ’s esophagus surveillance endoscopies: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusion This systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrates that four-quadrant biopsy protocol adherence is associated with increased detection of dysplasia in BE patients. Efforts should be made to increase biopsy protocol adherence rates.

Prospective study on the efficacy of endoscopic through-the-scope tack and suture system for gastric peroral endoscopic myotomy mucosal incision site closure
Conclusions TTS suturing is effective and safe for G-POEM mucosal incision closure. With experience, technical success is high, and most closures may be achieved using a single TTS suture system alone, which has important cost and time implications. Additional comparative trials with other closure devices are need1ed.
