BACKGROUND: Malnutrition is a complication of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and can range from micronutrient deficiencies to protein-calorie malnutrition. Malignant neoplasms and certain surgical complications can increase this risk…

Background: Resolution of intestinal inflammation requires well-tuned communication between the immune compartment and the epithelium, carried out primarily via secreted mediators. The expression of these mediators is predominantly regulated by the transcription factor NF-κB…

Ampullary neoplasia (AN) is a rare disease, but its incidence is increasing…

INTRODUCTION: Colonoscopy reduces colorectal cancer mortality via the identification and removal of neoplastic polyps. In clinical trials, computer aided detection (CADe) improves polyp detection, but there is limited data of CADe implementation in routine practice…

BACKGROUND: The most common complication after endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is delayed bleeding (DB), especially in the proximal colon…

Surgical resection is a standard treatment option for management of pancreatic cysts…

_BACKGROUND AND AIMS:_ To date, whole gastrointestinal capsule endoscopy from the esophagus to the colorectum has not been fully accomplished. We have developed the guiding device using neodymium magnet (L 139 mm X W 139 mm X H 30 mm, weight: 2…

Resection of colorectal polyps has been shown to decrease the incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer…

Endoscopic myotomy (POEM) was shown equally effective as laparoscopic Heller myotomy (LHM) in patients with achalasia at two years in a multicenter randomized trial. Postprocedural reflux esophagitis and treatment with acid inhibitors were more frequent after POEM…

Background and Aim: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients have a 2-3-fold increased risk of developing colorectal cancer…

Artificial intelligence-based polyp detection systems (CADe) have demonstrated to increase lesion detection during colonoscopy in average risk population although this seems to be mainly due to small and non-advance lesions…

INTRODUCTION: Several randomized and real-world studies and meta-analyses have evaluated the benefits and harms of computer aided detection (CADe) in colonoscopy among experienced endoscopists. However, the same for trainee endoscopists remains largely unknown…

The One and Only Postgraduate Course is the premier educational event for DDW 2025. For the first time, the AGA and ASGE will come together to help our members update their knowledge in GI and hepatology…
