Background: Conventional endoscopic treatments can't control bleeding in as many as 20% of patients with non-variceal gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. Recent studies have shown that over-the-scope-clip (OTSC) system allowed for effective hemostasis for refractory GI bleeding lesions. So we aimed to conduct a systematic review to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the OTSC system for management of acute non-variceal upper GI bleeding.
Method: A comprehensive literature search was conducted on PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library covering the period from January 2007 to May 2019. The literature was selected independently by two reviewers according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The statistical analysis was carried out using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software version 3.0.
Results: A total of 16 studies including 769 patients with 778 GI bleeding lesions were identified. Pooled technical success was achieved in 761 lesions [95.7%; 95% confidence interval (CI), 93.5-97.2%], and the pooled clinical success was achieved in 666 lesions (84.2, 95% CI, 77.4-89.2%). The incidence of re-bleeding was reported in 81 patients and the post-procedure mortality was 10.9% (n = 84). Only 2 (0.3%) patients occurred complications after OTSC system procedure.
Conclusions: Our study demonstrated that the OTSC system was a technically feasible modality and highly efficacious in achieving hemostasis in acute non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding.

Background: Aortic-esophageal fistula (AEF) after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has a high fatality rate and is difficult to treat. Endoluminal vacuum therapy (EVT) has recently appeared and proven to be a useful method for anastomotic leakage.
Case Presentation: A 76-year-old man underwent aortic arch replacement for a stent graft infection after TEVAR.
Probabilistic Risk Assessment of Polioencephalomalacia from Texas Beef Consuming Rations Containing Multiple Sources of Dietary Sulfur.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the risk of sulfur-induced polioencephalomalacia (S-PEM) in beef cattle in Texas, focusing on dietary ingredients and water quality.
- Researchers created two nutritional regimens and gathered sulfur data from various sources, including the Office of the Texas State Chemist and local water quality reports.
- Findings indicated that cattle in the South Plains district are most at risk, particularly during the finishing stage, with a potential S-PEM risk of up to 100% for finishers if sulfur concentrations in well water are above 14.5 mg/L.
Evaluating no fixation, endoscopic suture fixation, and an over-the-scope clip for anchoring fully covered self-expanding metal stents in benign upper gastrointestinal conditions: a comparative multicenter international study (With Video).

Johns Hopkins Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland, USA.
Background And Aims: Fully covered self-expandable metal stents (FCSEMSs) are widely used in benign upper gastrointestinal (GI) conditions, but stent migration remains a limitation. An over-the-scope clip (OTSC) device (Stentfix {SF], Ovesco Endoscopy) for stent anchoring has recently been developed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of OTSC fixation on FCSEMS migration rate.

Testing accuracy of a chemical contaminant requires use of a testing platform that conforms to validation criteria outlined in quality literature and standards. This study explores the application of commercial field data measured by qualified analysts using a United States Department of Agriculture - Federal Grain Inspection Service approved kit for measuring fumonisin in maize to augment method validation procedures. Analysts from seven grain testing facilities were qualified in official USDA sampling, sample preparation, and testing methodology using the Charm LF-FUMQ-WETS5.

Dieulafoy's lesions (DLs) are a rare cause of acute gastrointestinal bleeds (GIBs). Here we describe Over-the-Scope Clip Padlock System (OTSC-P) use to treat a gastric fundus DL with recurrent bleeding despite other interventions. The OTSC-P was created for full-thickness defect closure in the event of a perforation, but use has expanded to treatment of GIB.
