OBJECTIVE: Cytosponge is a novel technology for oesophageal pathology diagnosis. Uses include diagnosis of Barrett's oesophagus and as a triage tool to prioritise upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Patient experience is a key component of quality care. Previous work has developed endoscopy patient-reported experience measures. An appropriate tool to measure patient experience of Cytosponge is required. The aim of this work was to describe the patient experience of Cytosponge. DESIGN/METHOD: Individuals aged 18 years or over, who had undergone Cytosponge from September 2020 to March 2021, were invited to participate in a semi-structured interview...

We present the case of a patient with smoking, alcoholism, cirrhosis and HIV who was endoscopically diagnosed with esophageal candidiasis due to an episode of dysphagia. After treatment with antifungals and PPIs, the patient remained asymptomatic for almost 3 years. He presented an event of food impaction that was resolved by an upper endoscopy in which an esophageal stenosis and multiple esophageal pseudodiverticulosis were visualized. The biopsies only showed chronic nonspecific esophagitis. The stenosis was dilated with a balloon and PPIs were continued, with good response...

BACKGROUND: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is characterized by prolonged exposure of the esophageal mucosa to gastric content, with esophageal motility playing a pivotal role in its pathophysiology. This study employs a cross-sectional design to investigate the interplay between esophageal motility, the severity of esophagitis, and age in individuals presenting with GERD symptoms. OBJECTIVE: The primary objective is to assess proximal and distal esophageal contractions in individuals with GERD symptoms, exploring potential correlations with the severity of esophageal lesions and age...

BACKGROUND: Wireless pH monitoring allows for a definitive GERD diagnosis, which is essential for optimal medical or surgical management of the patient. However, there is no guideline recommendation on whether prolonged pH testing (72 or 96 h) provides additional benefit when compared to the standard 48-h testing. We aimed to assess whether prolonged pH monitoring diagnoses more patients with GERD, as well as compare the DeMeester score to acid exposure time as diagnostic criteria for GERD...

BACKGROUND: Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) has emerged as a widely accepted treatment for achalasia, with limited studies for over 2 years. Additionally, traditional measurements of achalasia after POEM have deficiencies. The study aimed to analyze the long-term outcomes of POEM under different criteria. METHODS: Patients with achalasia who received POEM between November 2012 and March 2021 were recruited. Patients and characteristics were shown, and risk factors related to two novel definitions of recurrence, symptomatic reflux, and reflux esophagitis were analyzed...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Anti-reflux mucosectomy with cap-assisted endoscopic mucosal resection (ARMS-C) is a safe and effective treatment for managing refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). This study aimed to investigate the short and long-term outcomes of ARMS-C. METHODS: This study was conducted from 2018 to 2022, during which 115 eligible patients underwent ARMS-C. The primary endpoints of this study were to evaluate the GERD-Q questionnaire score and determine the number of patients who reduced their proton pump inhibitor (PPI) dosage or discontinued PPI usage...

INTRODUCTION: Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (ZES) is due to a gastrin-producing neuroendocrine tumor (gastrinoma) with subsequent gastric acid hypersecretion, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and chronic diarrhea. CASE PRESENTATION: A 40-year old patient presented with epigastric pain associated with diarrhea evolving for 10 years, he has been treated by acid-suppressive medications without substantial clinical improvement. Gastro-duodenal endoscopy was performed with gastric biopsies that showed peptic ulcerations, a serum gastrin assay that showed high levels exceeding 10 times the upper limit of the normal range...

It is a known fact that gastrointestinal diseases are extremely common among the public. The most common of these diseases are gastritis, reflux, and dyspepsia. Since the symptoms of these diseases are similar, diagnosis can often be confused. Therefore, it is of great importance to make these diagnoses faster and more accurate by using computer-aided systems. Therefore, in this article, a new artificial intelligence-based hybrid method was developed to classify images with high accuracy of anatomical landmarks that cause gastrointestinal diseases, pathological findings and polyps removed during endoscopy, which usually cause cancer...

Endoscopic techniques are revolutionizing bariatric surgery because of the significant risks that obesity places on both anaesthesia and surgery. Due to the high number of long-term complications that may be associated with bariatric surgery, and the relative safety of endoscopy compared to operative management, endoscopic methods for reversal of previous bariatric techniques are becoming the favoured approach. We describe the use of an endoscopic stent to assist with endoscopic reversal of a modified Long vertical gastroplasty...

BACKGROUND: Systemic inflammatory response is significant prognostic indicator in patients with various diseases. The relationship between prognostic scoring systems based on the modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS) and achalasia in patients treated with laparoscopic Heller‑myotomy with Dor‑fundoplication (LHD) remains uninvestigated. This study aimed to examine the role of mGPS in patients with achalasia. METHODS: 457 patients with achalasia who underwent LHD as the primary surgery between September 2005 and December 2020 were included...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The diagnosis of achalasia is associated with an average delay of two years. Endoscopic features may prompt an earlier diagnosis. We aimed to develop and test a novel endoscopic CARS score for the prediction of achalasia. METHODS: Part 1: Twenty endoscopic videos were taken from patients undergoing endoscopy for dysphagia or reflux. A survey with videos and endoscopic criteria options was distributed to 6 esophagologists and 6 general gastroenterologists...

AIM: To investigate the role of proximal MNBI in the workup of patients with chronic cough and its ability to predict PPI response. METHODS: Demographic, clinical, endoscopy findings, impedance-pH and HRM tracings from consecutive cough patients were evaluated...

INTRODUCTION: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is associated with postoperative gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and erosive esophagitis (EE). The role of crural repair during LSG is still controversial. The preoperative laxity of the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ), graded by the Hill's classification, is more predictive for postoperative GERD and EE after LSG than the presence of a hiatal hernia seen on endoscopy. Thus, the authors hypothesize that a concomitant crural repair in a specific subgroup of patients with a lax GEJ (Hill's III) may reduce the incidence of postoperative GERD and EE...

As the number of bariatric and metabolic surgeries being performed is increasing, the importance of revision surgeries is escalating. In this report, we describe a case of revision surgery performed 30 years after vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG), including a review of the surgical techniques. The patient was a male in his 50s who had previously undergone VBG for morbid obesity (body mass index of 72.6 kg/m2 ), resulting in gradual weight loss. Twenty-eight years later, reflux symptoms due to stenosis of the mesh area developed...

CONTEXT: Rebound acid hypersecretion after cessation of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) can provoke dyspeptic symptoms. The search for alternatives to minimize the dyspeptic rebound symptoms after PPI discontinuation is warranted. Spirulina platensis, a dietary supplement made from blue-green algae, might be an alternative. OBJECTIVE: The study intended to assess whether Spirulina platensis, through its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, can minimize rebound symptoms after PPI withdrawal...

Fundic gland polyps (FGPs) are benign epithelial polyps usually located in the gastric body and fundus. Here, we describe the case of an elderly woman who presented with symptomatic anemia, abdominal pain, and weight loss. There was also history of chronic use of proton pump inhibitors for the symptomatic treatment of dyspepsia. Reflux esophagitis, duodenal ulcers, and multiple gastric polyps suspicious of malignancy were found at endoscopy. A large pedunculated antral polyp measuring more than 10mm in the largest dimension and other smaller polyps in the body and fundus were removed completely by cold snare and sent for histopathologic evaluation...
