The experience with the treatment of 602 patients with gastrointestinal bleeding before the introduction of endoscopy, and 805--with the use of endoscopy is summarized. At investigation, it was established that in 587 (72.9%) patients, the bleeding stopped, in 180 (27.1%)--it continued, and required in 93 the performance of electrocoagulation hemostasis. In 25 patients, the guided hypotension was used in the complex with the other methods of arresting the bleeding, the favourable outcome was noted in 22.

Novel Concept of Electrocoagulation and Tumor Cell Implantation: Creation of Minimally Invasive Orthotopic Murine Model of Pancreatic Cancer.

Colon and Rectum Surgery, Clinical Assistant Professor WSUCOM/MSUCHM, Department of Surgery, Ascension Providence Hospital-Michigan State University/College of Human Medicine, Southfield, MI. (Dr. Bhullar).
Background: Orthotopic murine models of pancreatic cancer represent an important tool for evaluating treatment strategies. Several genetically modified mouse tumors and xenograft models have been reported. Genetic models have unpredictable growth and variable waiting period, while orthotopic models are operative ones, difficult to create and result in irregular metastasis.

Monopolar electrocautery is usually a safe and effective technique used in laparoscopic cholecystectomy and bile duct surgery, but it may lead to adverse consequences, even ventricular fibrillation (VF). Amiodarone is an effective antiarrhythmic drug commonly used in practice to treat ventricular and atrial arrhythmias, but it may induce tachyarrhythmia or even VF. We report a case of VF occurring twice during cholecystectomy.

- Endoscopic ablation is the primary treatment for dysplastic Barrett's esophagus (BE), primarily utilizing radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and argon plasma coagulation (APC) in Polish medical centers.
- A retrospective analysis of 160 adult patients revealed high rates of complete remission for intestinal metaplasia (80.0%) and dysplasia (93.8%), alongside a manageable adverse event rate, with 30.6% reporting minor and 5.6% major complications.
- The study also identified that RFA, used more for severe cases, had a higher failure rate compared to APC/h-APC, particularly in patients with long-segment BE and diabetes, suggesting specific risk factors for less favorable treatment outcomes
High Joule heat as a risk factor for post-endoscopic submucosal dissection electrocoagulation syndrome: A multicenter prospective study.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how Joule heat affects the development of post-endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) electrocoagulation syndrome (PECS), characterized by fever and abdominal pain.
- Out of 202 colorectal ESD patients, 30 (14.9%) developed PECS, and high Joule heat (15390 J) was identified as a significant risk factor for this condition with an odds ratio of 7.96.
- The findings suggest that thermal damage to the mucosal surface plays a crucial role in the onset of PECS, highlighting the importance of managing thermal exposure during ESD procedures.
Endoscopic hemostasis with a self-assembling peptide gel during endoscopic submucosal dissection and cold-snare polypectomy in the duodenum: Prospective exploratory study (with video).

Objectives: A novel self-assembling peptide gel (SAPG) was recently developed for hemostasis during endoscopic resection (ER) as an alternative for electrocoagulation and clip placement. Therefore, this exploratory study aimed to evaluate the hemostatic effect of SAPG on bleeding during ER of the duodenum.
Methods: Patients with superficial duodenal epithelial tumors who underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) or cold-snare polypectomy (CSP) between June 2022 and October 2023 were enrolled in the study.
