Computer-aided diagnosis improves characterization of barrett ’s neoplasia by general endoscopists
Characterization of visible abnormalities in Barrett esophagus (BE) patients can be challenging, especially for unexperienced endoscopists. This results in suboptimal diagnostic accuracy and poor inter-observer agreement. Computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) systems may assist endoscopists. We aimed to develop, validate and benchmark a CADx system for BE neoplasia. (Source: Gastrointestinal Endoscopy)

Detection of residual stones by peroral direct cholangioscopy in patients with intrahepatic stones after hepaticojejunostomy: A prospective study (with video)
The difficulty of radiographic confirmation of the presence of stones remains a challenge in the treatment of intrahepatic bile duct (IHBD) stones in patients after hepaticojejunostomy (HJ). Peroral direct cholangioscopy (PDCS) enables direct observation of the bile duct and is useful for detecting and removing residual stones; however, its effectiveness is not clearly established in this clinical context.

Duodenal papilla radiomics-based prediction model for post –endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis using machine learning: a retrospective multicohort study
The duodenal papillae are the primary and essential pathway for ERCP, greatly determining its complexity and outcome. We aimed to investigate the association between papilla morphology and post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP), and to construct a robust model for PEP prediction. (Source: Gastrointestinal Endoscopy)

Novel self-expandable stent-based endobiliary radiofrequency ablation for unresectable malignant biliary obstruction
Endobiliary radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is an emerging endoscopic palliative adjunctive therapy used for the local treatment of unresectable malignant biliary obstruction (MBO). However, irregular ablation ranges caused by insufficient electrode-to-bile duct contact pose a significant obstacle. The aim was to investigate the feasibility of a self-expandable stent (SES)-based electrode with a customized RFA generator in the porcine liver and common bile duct (CBD).

Administration of oral prednisolone to prevent esophageal stricture after balloon-type radiofrequency ablation for ultralong-segment esophageal neoplasia
Endoscopic radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has shown good efficacy and safety in eradicating flat-type early esophageal squamous cell neoplasia (ESCN). However, post-RFA stricture is still a major concern, especially when treating ultralong-segment ESCNs. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of oral prednisolone to prevent post-RFA stricture. (Source: Gastrointestinal Endoscopy)
