Objectives: eradication reduces but cannot eliminate the risk of gastric cancer (GC). The prevalence of post-eradication GC has been rising. Characterization of the endoscopic findings of post-eradication GC may facilitate its early detection. We performed a meta-analysis and systematic review to clarify endoscopic risk factors to accelerate the early diagnosis of post-eradication GC.
Methods: Medline and PubMed were searched for randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, and case-control studies published in the English-language medical literature between January 1997 and July 2023. The included articles assessed the correlation between post-eradication GC and pre- and post-eradication endoscopic findings, and associated post-eradication GC with gastric atrophy, intestinal metaplasia (IM), map-like redness, and xanthoma.
Results: A total of 963 articles were retrieved. In these articles, 66 papers were finally included, comprising randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, and case-control studies. The included articles addressed gastric atrophy (16 studies), IM (eight studies), map-like redness (six studies), and xanthoma (two studies). Risk ratio (RR) of incident post-eradication GC was 3.40 (95%confidence interval [95%CI]: 1.98-5.84; < 0.001) in cases of severe atrophy, 5.38 (95%CI: 3.62-8.00) in cases of severe IM, 2.34 (95%CI: 1.16-4.68) in cases with post-eradication map-like redness, and 2.75 (95% CI: 1.78-4.26) in cases with xanthoma.
Conclusions: Endoscopic atrophy, IM, and xanthoma observed at pre- and post-eradication time points and post-eradication map-like redness were suggested as endoscopic risk factors for post-eradication GC. Further studies are needed to clarify the risk of post-eradication GC based on these risk factors.

Background: Uniportal spine endoscopy is a minimally invasive technique gaining widespread popularity, but fluid insufflation during the procedure poses risks of neurological deterioration. The present study examines these risks through a case series and literature review.
Methods: A review of the literature was conducted to identify reported complications related to fluid insufflation.

Introduction: During sedation for gastroscopy, hypoxaemia represents the most common adverse event. The objective of this trial is to assess the efficacy and safety of bilevel positive airway pressure (BPAP) for the prevention of hypoxaemia, in comparison with nasal cannula oxygen therapy, among patients predisposed to hypoxaemia during sedation for gastroscopy.
Methods And Analysis: This randomised controlled trial (RCT) will include 616 patients at risk of hypoxaemia when undergoing gastroscopy, including those with advanced age, frailty, American Society of Anesthesiologists grades III-IV, obesity, obstructive sleep apnoea-hypopnoea syndrome, cardiac disease, respiratory disease and diabetes.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is marked by significant clinical heterogeneity, posing challenges for accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment strategies. Conventional approaches, such as endoscopy and histology, often fail to adequately and accurately predict medium and long-term outcomes, leading to suboptimal patient management. Artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as a transformative force enabling standardized, accurate, and timely disease assessment and outcome prediction, including therapeutic response.

Purpose: Trocar site hernias impact 1-10% of patients undergoing a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, typically at the 10 mm port site. Risk factors identified for trocar site hernias include obesity and age; however, little is known about the impact of pre-existing diastasis rectus abdominus (DRA) on trocar site hernia rates. Therefore, we aimed to determine the impact of pre-operative DRA on trocar site hernia rates after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Gastric premalignant conditions (GPMC) are common and include atrophic gastritis, gastric intestinal metaplasia, dysplasia, and certain gastric epithelial polyps. GPMC have an increased risk of progression to gastric adenocarcinoma. Gastric cancer (GC) in the United States represents an important cancer disparity because incidence rates are 2- to 13-fold greater in non-White individuals, particularly early-generation immigrants from regions of high GC incidence.
