We herein report a neonatal case showing specific findings of blood perfusion in the anastomosed esophagus of esophageal atresia (EA) and tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) using indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence during thoracoscopic surgery. The patient was a 3054 g, 0-day neonatal boy diagnosed with EA-TEF based on a coil-up sign of the nasogastric tube. Thoracoscopic surgery was performed on Day 4 after birth.

Introduction: Barrett esophagus (BE) is the precursor to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). We aimed to assess performance, safety, and tolerability of the EsoGuard (EG) assay on samples collected nonendoscopically with the EsoCheck (EC) device (EG/EC) for BE detection in the intended-use population meeting American College of Gastroenterology guideline criteria (chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease and 3+ additional risk factors).
Methods: We performed a prospective, multicenter study (NCT04293458) to assess EG performance (primary endpoint) on cells collected with EC, for detection of BE and EAC using esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) and biopsies as the comparator.

Background: Conflicting studies have investigated the association between obesity, metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS), and cancer.
Objectives: Our study aimed at elucidating the trends in cancer incidence that are related to obesity and weight loss managed through MBSs, like Colo-rectal, breast, uterine, and esophageal cancer.
Setting: We conducted a search using PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library electronic databases through May 2020.
Aortoesophageal fistulas (AEFs) are a rare complication of thoracic aortic aneurysms. Moreover, the associated massive bleeding from the upper gastrointestinal tract results in a very high mortality rate. In this report, we describe a successful experience in using a Foley catheter to save a patient's life.
