Introduction: Peptic ulcers with adherent clots are associated with a high-risk of rebleeding and mortality. However, the optimal management of bleeding ulcers with adherent clots remains unclear. We conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis to compare endoscopic therapy and conservative therapy to manage bleeding ulcers with adherent clots.

Materials And Methods: Patients undergoing colonoscopy from February 18, 2019, to April 24, 2020, and were found to have at least 1 ≤10 mm PP resected with CSP were included prospectively in a continuous quality improvement project to assess the risk of IPPB and delayed postpolypectomy bleeding.

The value of endoscopy in dyspeptic patients is questionable. To examine the prevalence of significant endoscopic findings (SEFs) and the utility of alarm features and age in predicting SEFs in outpatients with dyspepsia. A retrospective analysis of outpatient adults who had endoscopy for dyspepsia.

- The study aimed to determine the prevalence of sessile serrated adenomas and polyps (SSA/Ps) among patients undergoing colonoscopy, utilizing a skilled colonoscopist and an expert pathologist.
- A total of 1910 asymptomatic, average-risk patients aged 50 and above were assessed, with findings showing that 8.1% were identified as having SSA/Ps, including 0.6% with cytologic dysplasia.
- The results suggest that SSA/Ps are more prevalent than previously thought, challenging earlier assumptions about their occurrence in the screening population.
Background: Risk of malignancy in main duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (MD-IPMN) ranges from 36% to 100% in the literature. Although surgical resection is recommended for all MD-IPMNs, the risk of malignancy based on main pancreatic duct (MPD) size alone remains unclear.
Objective: To assess the prevalence of malignancy in symptomatic and asymptomatic patients with pure MD-IPMN based on MPD size.
