Objective: Increased use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) has raised safety concerns during endoscopy due to their mechanism of delaying gastric emptying. This study aims to evaluate the impact of GLP-1RAs on technical success and safety of esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD).
Methods: This was a retrospective study of bariatric patients who underwent EGD between January 2022 and December 2023. Only patients on GLP-1RAs were included and were categorized into those who held GLP-1RAs prior to EGD (GLP-HELD group) and those who did not (GLP-CONTINUED group). The primary outcome was technical success, defined as completion of EGD without interruption. Secondary outcomes included the presence of residual gastric contents during EGD and aspiration rates.
Results: A total of 629 patients were included. Baseline age and BMI were mean (SD) 54.9 (13.0) years and 37.3 (8.0) kg/m, respectively. Of 629 patients, 146 (23%) were in the GLP-HELD group, and 483 (77%) were in the GLP-CONTINUED group. For the primary outcome, rates of early termination of EGD were similar between groups (1.4% for GLP-CONTINUED vs. 0% for GLP-HELD; p = 0.36). For secondary outcomes, incidence of residual gastric contents was similar between groups (6.4% for GLP-CONTINUED vs. 2.7% for GLP-HELD; p = 0.09). There were no aspiration events in either group.
Conclusions: Continuation of GLP-1RAs did not appear to be associated with an increased incidence of residual gastric contents, early procedural termination, or aspiration events.

Nutritional support is associated with improved clinical outcomes in critically ill patients; however, loss of muscle mass during critical illness leads to weakness, delayed return to work, and increased healthcare consumption. Animal data have suggested that intermittent feeding decreases protein catabolism. This study was aimed at determining whether the mode of enteral nutrition administration might lead to differences in meeting nutritional goals, tolerance, and complications.

Unlabelled: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is the technique of choice in the management of early gastric cancer. Recently, it is also considered as an absolute indication in selected cases of early undifferentiated gastric cancer (U-EGC).
Objectives: In the present study, the first documented cases of ESD in patients with U-EGC are presented and analyzed.

Background: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) therapies are increasingly used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity. Despite growing awareness of potentially increased risk of pulmonary aspiration due to delayed gastric emptying, the risks and benefits of their perioperative use in patients undergoing cardiac procedures remains unexplored. A scoping review was performed to investigate the perioperative GLP-1RA use in patients undergoing cardiac procedures and recommendations.

Endoscopic submucosal dissection is performed in cases of early gastric cancer, where the risk of lymph node metastasis (LNM) is expected to be negligible, and 12%-21% of these patients are deemed to have undergone non-curative resections based on pathological criteria. In such cases, decisions regarding additional treatments must be made to maximize curability, depending on the anticipated LNM risk. Well-established risk factors for LNM include lymphatic invasion, vascular invasion, deep submucosal invasion, positive vertical margins, and larger tumor size.
