Incidence and factors associated with stent dysfunction and pancreatitis after gastroduodenal stenting for malignant gastric outlet obstruction
Conclusions Deployment of the Niti-S pyloric/duodenal stent, with conformability even for angulated strictures, significantly reduced the incidence of SD. Stent selection, life expectancy, and MPD caliber should be taken into consideration during decision-making for GDS deployment for mGOO.

Characteristic endoscopic findings in early-stage autoimmune gastritis
Conclusions Endoscopic findings characteristic of early-stage AIG include a bamboo joint-like appearance and a salmon roe-like appearance. Studies in large numbers of patients with long-term follow-up are needed to confirm these findings.

The Bethesda ERCP Skills Assessment Tool (BESAT) can reliably differentiate endoscopists of different experience levels
Conclusions Study findings demonstrate that the BESAT, a video-based ERCP skill assessment tool, has high inter-rater reliability and has discriminative validity in differentiating novice from expert ERCP skill. Further investigations are needed to determine the role of video-based assessment in improving trainee learning curves and patient outcomes.

Same-session endoscopic diagnosis and symptom palliation in pancreato-biliary malignancies: Clinical impact of rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE)
Conclusions Nearly two-thirds of oncological candidates for endoscopic palliation require contemporary pathological diagnosis. ROSE adequacy allows, since the index procedure, state-of-the-art therapeutics standardly restricted to pathologically confirmed malignancies (e.g. uncovered SEMS or therapeutic EUS), potentially reducing hospitalization and time to oncological treatments.

Comparison of diagnostic outcomes, safety, and cost of Franseen-tip 19G versus 22G needles for endoscopic ultrasound-guided liver biopsies
Conclusions The Franseen-tip 19G outperforms 22G with a significantly lower fragmentation rate, longer AL, LIC, and a higher number of CPT with a marginal increase in the procedure cost, without any difference in diagnostic yield and safety.
