All endoscopic procedures are invasive and carry risk. Accordingly, all endoscopists should involve the patient in the decision-making process about the most appropriate endoscopic procedure for that individual, in keeping with a patient's right to self-determination and autonomy. Recognition of this has led to detailed guidelines on informed consent for endoscopy in some countries, but in many no such guidance exists; this may lead to variations in care and exposure to risk of litigation.

Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective single-center study over 191 patients using the ESG under general anesthesia with overnight inpatient observation between January 2019 and December 2020.
Purpose: The purpose of the study is to describe the functional and structural outcomes of the arthroscopic 4-strand, knotless, double-row construct with suture tapes for the surgical treatment of displaced and/or comminuted greater tuberosity fractures of the humerus.
Methods: Patients were enrolled between December 2012 and January 2018. The main inclusion criteria were a comminuted and/or displaced tuberosity fracture with a displacement of at least 5 mm in any plane fixed under arthroscopy using a 4-strand, knotless, double-row construct.
Article Synopsis
- The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic significantly decreased gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy activity in France, as shown by a comprehensive web-based survey conducted among French gastroenterologists.
- Out of 694 respondents, a staggering 98.7% reported having to cancel procedures due to the pandemic's impact, with a notable percentage involved in managing COVID-19 patients.
- The study reveals concerning health implications, including potential delays in treating gastroenterology patients, particularly those with GI cancers, due to the restricted access to necessary endoscopic procedures.
