This meta‐analysis of nine studies (202 patients) demonstrates that peroral endoscopic myotomy with fundoplication (POEM‐F) achieves a technical success of 94.8% and significant symptom improvement (Eckardt score reduction from 8.3 to 1.1). Post‐procedural esophagitis occurred in 20.7% and wrap integrity was preserved in 75.7% on follow‐up, supporting ...

ABSTRACT Background Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty is a minimally invasive and effective treatment for obesity, although gastric mucosa folding and subsequent reduced visibility of the gastric lining raise concerns for some patients. This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of a revised peroral endoscopic myo‐neurotomy (R‐POEM‐N) technique using a ...

ALLELE-SPECIFIC TRANSCRIPTIONAL ACTIVITY OF THE VARIABLE NUMBER OF TANDEM REPEATS OF THE INDUCIBLE NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE GENE IS ASSOCIATED WITH IDIOPATHIC ACHALASIA [PDF]
Background: Polymorphisms of genes involved in the regulation of the immune response are risk factors for achalasia, but their contribution to disease pathogenesis is unknown.

Indocyanine green with infrared imaging (ICG‐IRI) provides real‐time fluorescence visualization of the distal myotomy endpoint during peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM). In this study of 39 patients, ICG‐IRI achieved a 94.9% success rate in fluorescence detection and significantly improved esophageal relaxation and symptoms.

Artificial Intelligence in Gastrointestinal Motility Diagnostics: A Systematic Review
Artificial Intelligence shows strong potential to improve the accuracy, efficiency, and standardization of gastrointestinal motility diagnostics. In time, this will improve patient care, but for now the referenced studies throughout the GI tract lack the required rigor for clinical implementation. ABSTRACT Background The assessment of gastrointestinal (
