No Significant Difference in Post-ERCP Bleeding Rates Between Dual Antiplatelet Agents and Aspirin Alone: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Conclusions: The first systematic review and meta-analysis showed that post-ERCP bleeding rates are not significantly higher in DAPT cohort as compared with aspirin alone. Therefore, the risk of bleeding is less likely related to the antiplatelet agents and more likely related to the procedure itself. (Source: Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology)

Anticoagulation in Cirrhosis: Evidence for the Treatment of Portal Vein Thrombosis and Applications for Prophylactic Therapy
The clinical utility of anticoagulation for patients with cirrhosis and asymptomatic portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is widely debated. Complex hemostatic derangements in cirrhosis that increase risk of both bleeding and thrombosis, as well as a lack of randomized controlled data, limit conclusive assessments regarding optimal management of anticoagulation in this setting. In this review, we summarize the relevant literature pertaining to PVT in cirrhosis, including the effect of untreated PVT on the natural progression of liver disease and the overall impact of anticoagulation on clot burden and other relevant clinical outco...

Older Adult Patients Use More Aminosalicylate Monotherapy Compared With Younger Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease: TARGET-IBD
Conclusions: Older patients with IBD demonstrate significant differences in medication utilization, including more aminosalicylate monotherapy and less anti–tumor necrosis factor monotherapy compared with younger age groups. Given the aging population in the United States, these utilization patterns may have long-term implications for disease control. (Source: Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology)

Pepsin and pH of Gastric Juice in Patients With Gastrointestinal Reflux Disease and Subgroups
Conclusions: The basal gastric pepsin level in the healthy control group was comparable to literature values. There was good correlation and a significant linear relationship between the gastric pepsin level and gastric pH within the patient groups. The severity of the GERD disease is related to the lowest pH and the highest pepsin concentration in gastric juice. (Source: Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology)

Subjective Changes of Taste and Smell in Conjunction With Anxiety and Depression Are Associated With Symptoms in Globus Patients Without Evidence of Pathologic Acid Reflux
Background/Aim: Patients suffering from globus often report decreased enjoyment when eating as well as a psychological abnormality. Some patients exhibit taste and smell changes (TSCs) when compared with the period before the diagnosis. The main aim of this study was to explore if TSCs and psychological abnormality are present in patients with globus, whether they are associated with the severity of throat symptoms, and the potential risk factors for globus. Patients and Methods: A total of 116 included patients who met the Rome IV diagnostic criteria for globus had been performed 24-hour pH monitoring, and the ...

An Evidence-based Practical Guide to Vaccination for Hepatitis B Virus
The hepatitis B virus (HBV) is highly infectious, with over 292 million chronically infected people worldwide and up to 2.4 million in the United States. Following infection, clinically silent liver damage can ensue, but symptoms or signs of advanced disease, including cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, can take decades to emerge. HBV has the heaviest public health burden of all hepatitis viruses and has now surpassed other major communicable diseases (eg, HIV, diarrheal disease, malaria, tuberculosis) as a leading cause of death globally. Preventing transmission is essential, and efforts are in place to reinforce scr...

New Applications for Submucosal Tunneling in Third Space Endoscopy: A Comprehensive Review
Third space endoscopy (TSE), a type of natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery, was first introduced a decade ago, and since then, has revolutionized the field of therapeutic endoscopy. TSE involves tunneling into the submucosal space between the intestinal mucosa and the muscularis propria. By accessing this “third space,” endoscopists can perform minimally invasive myotomies, resections, and dissections while maintaining the mucosa and preventing full-thickness perforation. TSE procedures can be used to treat motility disorders as well as neoplasms throughout the gastrointestinal tract, which were traditional...
