Is it necessary to explore modified peroral endoscopic myotomy strategies to prevent the occurrence of gastroesophageal reflux?
We read with interest the study by Nabi et al,1 who performed a randomized controlled trial to compare the incidence of gastroesophageal reflux (GER) between conventional peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) and oblique fiber-sparing POEM. Finally, they found that modified oblique fiber-sparing POEM did not reduce the occurrence of GER. In th is regard, we would like to raise some considerations on the issue of postoperative GER.

Response
We thank Zhang et al1 for their interest in our recently published study,2 which concluded that sparing of oblique fibers after peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) does not reduce the incidence of gastroesophageal reflux (GER). Instead of evaluating modified techniques to prevent GER, the authors suggested that futur e research should explore the pathogenesis, risk factors, and treatment of post-POEM refractory GER.

“AI for the new GI”: What role does artificial intelligence have in early colonoscopy training?
Endoscopists have long anticipated the incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) into endoscopy, and we are now in an age of its introduction and rapid evolution. Several commercial systems are already using colonoscopy polyp detection (CADe), polyp diagnosis/characterization (CADx), and quality measures (withdrawal speedometer). Research in the field is expanding, with 86 studies currently registered in the most recognized clinical trials database (clinicaltrials. gov). The improvement in both adenoma detection rate (ADR) and adenoma per colonoscopy (APC) rates by expert and nonexpert colonoscopists has been robustl...

Percutaneous coronary intervention and GI hemorrhage: need for accurate predictors of the link to rebleeding
Patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) receive percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with aspirin and a P2Y12 inhibitor.1 GI bleeding (GIB) has an important impact on prognosis in unselected patients after PCI. Triple antithrombotic therapy and patient-related risk factors are predictors of GIB within 1 year of PCI.2 Antiplatelet therapy raises the risk of GIB.3 The DAPT score predicts a GIB after PCI. It examines the thrombosis and bleeding risk at 12 months or later after PCI. (Source: Gastrointestinal Endoscopy)

Bilevel positive airway pressure ventilation in patients susceptible to hypoxemia during procedural sedation for colonoscopy: A prospective randomized controlled study
Hypoxemia is one of the most common adverse events during colonoscopy, particularly among patients who are diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) or are overweight. Consequently, the objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of bilevel positive airway pressure (BPAP) ventilation for patients with high risk hypoxemia during colonoscopy with sedation.

Post-ERCP cholecystitis: Incidence, characteristics, and outcomes from a prospective multicenter biliary endoscopy registry
The incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of post-ERCP cholecystitis are poorly described. We aimed to describe cases of post-ERCP cholecystitis from a prospective multicenter registry with protocolized 30-day follow-up. (Source: Gastrointestinal Endoscopy)
