Performance and safety of diagnostic EUS FNA/FNB and therapeutic ERCP in patients with borderline resectable and locally advanced pancreatic cancer - results from a population-based, prospective cohort study
Conclusion: EUS-FNA/FNB and ERCP with biliary stenting in patients with BRPC/LAPC demonstrated acceptable performance and safety. Repeat procedures were performed with high success rates. Same session EUS-FNA/FNB and ERCP for biliary decompression is safe.PMID:38126766 | DOI:10.1080/00365521.2023.2290456 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology)

The usefulness of traction-assisted endoscopic papillectomy for ampullary early tumors(with video)
Conclusions CDT- EP, HSP and EMR are all suitable methods for the treatment of ampullary adenoma or early adenocarcinoma. Assisted traction technology can reduce the operation difficulty of large and difficult to expose lesions, thereby improving the efficacy and safety of EP.PMID:38095567 | DOI:10.1080/00365521.2023.2289353 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology)

Ziverel for PPI-refractory reflux symptoms: efficacy and mechanisms of action in humans
CONCLUSION: Ziverel did not show a benefit on acid sensitivity, reflux symptoms or esophageal mucosal integrity compared to placebo in PPI-refractory patients with reflux symptoms.Trial registration: Netherlands Trial Register number: NL7670.PMID:38088584 | DOI:10.1080/00365521.2023.2290457 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology)

Increasing the transplant dose and repeating faecal microbiota transplantation results in the responses of male patients with IBS reaching those of females
CONCLUSIONS: Increasing the transplant dose and repeating FMT results in the responses of male IBS patients to FMT reaching those of females regardless of the administration route. Alistipes spp. levels appear to play a role in this improvement.www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT04236843).PMID:38084725 | DOI:10.1080/00365521.2023.2292479 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology)

The role of endoscopist adenoma detection rate in in sex differences in colonoscopy findings: cross-sectional analysis of the SCREESCO randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSIONS: This study provides no evidence that endoscopist skill measured by ADR underlies the sex difference in adenoma detection at colonoscopy.

Risk and prediction of kidney failure early after liver transplantation
CONCLUSIONS: Kidney failure within 1-year post-LT could not be reliably predicted by pre-LT eGFR. However, kidney failure was uncommon even in patients with severely reduced pre-LT glomerular filtration rate (eGFR <30 mL/min), and extremely rare in patients unaffected by major perioperative complications. Our data prompts further consideration regarding the guidelines for SLKT in patients with a reduced preoperative eGFR.PMID:38069811 | DOI:10.1080/00365521.2023.2291992 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology)
