The efficacy of removal of animal milk from the diet in functional dyspepsia: A cross-sectional study.

Background And Study Aims: We aimed to investigate the effect of removing milk and dairy products from diets on functional dyspepsia (FD) symptoms, as the aetiology remains unclear and new management approaches are needed.

Patients And Methods: This cross-sectional cohort study included 120 patients, with a mean age of 42.5 ± 12.

Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Pancreatic Duct Drainage.

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided pancreatic duct drainage (EUS-PDD) is a method of decompressing the pancreatic duct (PD) if unable to access the papilla or surgical anastomosis, particularly in nonsurgical candidates. The 2 types of EUS-PDD are EUS-assisted pancreatic rendezvous (EUS-PRV) and EUS-guided pancreaticogastrostomy (EUS-PG). EUS-PRV should be considered in patients with accessible papilla or anastomosis, while EUS-PG is a comparable alternative in surgically altered foregut anatomy.

Results of Nucleos(t)ide Analog Treatment Discontinuation in Hepatitis B e-Antigen-Negative Chronic Hepatitis B: NUCSTOP Study.

Background/aims: This study aims to investigate the effects of nucleos(t)ide analogs (NAs) discontinuation in eligible patients in accordance with the Asian Pacific Association for the Study of the Liver hepatitis B guideline and the factors affecting clinical and virological relapses.

Materials And Methods: In this prospectively designed study, hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-negative chronic hepatitis B patients who were followed up between 2012 and 2019 were evaluated and 57 patients were included. All participants enrolled the study were HBeAgnegative status at NA initiation.

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastrojejunostomy with a direct technique without previous intestinal filling using a tubular fully covered self-expandable metallic stent.

Background/aims: Endoscopic ultrasonography-guided gastrojejunostomy is a minimally invasive method for the management of gastric outlet obstruction. Conventionally, a lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) is used to create an anastomosis. However, LAMS is expensive and not widely available.

Early prediction of the severe course, survival, and ICU requirements in acute pancreatitis by artificial intelligence.

Objective: To evaluate the success of artificial intelligence for early prediction of severe course, survival, and intensive care unit(ICU) requirement in patients with acute pancreatitis(AP).

Methods: Retrospectively, 1334 patients were included the study. Severity is determined according to the Revised Atlanta Classification(RAC).
