Tu1115 PERCUTANEOUS ENDOSCOPIC GASTROSTOMY (PEG) IS ASSOCIATED WITH BETTER OUTCOMES AS COMPARED TO INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY (IR) GUIDED AND SURGICAL GASTROSTOMIES: INSIGHTS FROM THE NATIONWIDE INPATIENT SAMPLE
Gastrostomy is a commonly performed procedure for enteral feeding in patients with diverse conditions such as malnutrition, stroke, dementia, Parkinsonism and other neurodegenerative diseases as well as head and neck and upper gastrointestinal cancers. PEG is usually preferred but IR guided and surgical gastrostomies are often performed based on patient related factors and local practice preferences. The aim of our study was to review demographic and clinical characteristics of patients undergoing gastrostomies in the inpatient setting.

Mo1332 OUTCOMES OF PERCUTANEOUS ENDOSCOPIC GASTROTOMY (PEG) IN OCTOGENARIANS AND NONAGENARIANS
The 2010 US census showed that individual aged 80 years and above constituted 0.03% of the population, and are expected to grow in the coming decades. These patients have a much higher rate of PEG placement compared with the general population because of higher incidence of debilitating conditions like stroke and dementia. Our aim was to study the outcome and complications of PEG placement in this key demographic.

Single Biaxillary Tunneling for Working Space Creation in Bilateral Axillo-Breast Approach (BABA) Thyroidectomy
Conclusions:
Limited blunt dissection by a single stroke of biaxillary tunneling is a simple method, which significantly reduces ecchymosis formation and is time-efficient. This method can be used in routine practice and is feasible for beginner surgeons.

Cerebral Air Embolism after Esophagogastroduodenoscopy: Insight on Pathophysiology, Epidemiology, Prevention and Treatment
Air embolism is an extremely rare complication that can follow gastrointestinal endoscopy. The most accepted treatment of cerebral air embolism (CAE) is hyperbaric oxygen (HBO). Limited evidence suggests that lidocaine may have a neuroprotective effect. The exact mechanism does not appear to be well elucidated.

Algorithmic anticoagulation: streamlining the decision to hold and restart blood thinners in the periendoscopy period
The number and complexity of procedures performed by gastroenterologists are increasing in the United States.1,2 In addition, the number and complexity of antithrombotic agents are growing.3 These concurrent trends may lead to confusion among providers on the appropriate management of these drugs during endoscopy. The skilled clinician must balance the risks of thrombosis, including myocardial infarction and stroke, against the risks of procedure-related hemorrhage, which can be potentially fatal.

Tu1164 HYGIEACARE PREP FOR COLONOSCOPY CONSISTENTLY PROVIDES 97% ADEQUACY, AND IS AGNOSTIC TO PREDICTORS OF POOR ORAL BOWEL PREP
The quality of bowel preparation (BP) before colonoscopy plays a pivotal role in the safety, efficacy and quality of the outcome of colonoscopy. Inadequate BP is evident in more than 25% of all colonoscopies. High-quality BP is critical for detection of precancerous lesions.. Inadequate BP is correlated with patient-specific factors including age, male gender, medications, comorbidities such as chronic constipation, diabetes, gastrointestinal surgery, cirrhosis, stroke, and irritable bowel disease (IBD).

Tu1031 THE INFLUENCE OF DIRECT ORAL ANTICOAGULANTS ON DELAYED BLEEDING IN PATIENTS WITH EARLY GASTRIC NEOPLASMS WHO UNDERWENT ENDOSCOPIC SUBMUCOSAL DISSECTION
Direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) are widely prescribed for prevention of stroke in elderly patients with atrial fibrillation and approved indication for DOAC has been expanded. We aimed to evaluate the risk of delayed bleeding in patients who had taken DOAC and underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for gastric neoplasms.

Use of flexible endoscopic aspiration for an intraventricular small floating clot with hemorrhage: a technical note
ConclusionThe use of simple flexible endoscopic aspiration for clots might be a beneficial and less-invasive procedure for acute obstructive hydrocephalus caused by a small clot with hemorrhagic stroke.

Minimally invasive surgical treatment of intracranial meningiomas in elderly patients ( ≥ 65 years): outcomes, readmissions, and tumor control.
CONCLUSIONS: This analysis suggests that elderly patients with meningiomas, when carefully selected, generally have excellent surgical outcomes and tumor control. When applied appropriately, use of minimally invasive approaches and endoscopy may be helpful in achieving maximal safe resection, reducing complications, and promoting short hospitalizations. Notably, one-third of our elderly meningioma patients referred for possible surgery from 2015 to 2019 were managed nonoperatively.

Collateral Effect of Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pandemic on Hospitalizations and Clinical Outcomes in Gastrointestinal and Liver Diseases: A Territory-wide Observational Study in Hong Kong
As of July 22, 2020 there were more than 14.9 million cases and 616,000 deaths due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) worldwide.1 Medical resources were shifted to management of infected patients, and declines in hospitalizations for acute coronary syndrome and stroke were observed.2,3 The world is now being exposed to a third wave of the pandemic, and the disruption to endoscopy service is considerable, leading to potential delays in the diagnosis of cancers and management of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding.

Mini Craniotomy in the Management of Supratentorial Spontaneous Intracranial Hemorrhage: A Single-Center Outcome of the Minimally Invasive Treatment
Adv Exp Med Biol. 2021 Mar 14. doi: 10.1007/5584_2021_632. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHemorrhagic stroke accounts for a significant proportion of mortality and confers a poor quality of life with high dependency among survivors. Surgical evacuation of hematoma has the advantage of rapidly controlling the increased intracranial pressure, halting the ongoing herniation syndrome, and mitigating the secondary cascades of events mediated by the inflammatory and blood degradation products. The advantage is hindered by the concurrent insult to the healthy brain tissue while passing through the normal brain tissue. Therefore, m...
