Numbers matter: How pediatric endoscopy quality varies with annual procedural volume
Abstract Objectives There is limited data linking pediatric endoscopist experience and procedural quality. We aimed to examine the associations of faculty physicians' years in practice and independent annual procedural volume (APV) with published quality indicators for pediatric endoscopy, including terminal ileal intubation rate (TIIR), cecal ...

Risk Factors for the Occurrence of Erosive Esophageal in Patients with Dyspepsia [PDF]
Background: The prevalence of erosive esophagitis tends to increase recently. It induces higher medical expense, loss of working time, and decreases quality of life. However the study on risk factors of erosive esophagitis scarcely reported in Indonesia.

Abstract Diagnosing celiac disease (CD) via esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGDS) is necessary when anti‐transglutaminase (anti‐TG) antibody levels are below 10× the upper limit of normal (ULN). This study evaluates patients with low anti‐TG titers, particularly when endomysial antibodies (EMA) are negative.

Utility of the Endoscopic Pressure Study Integrated System in Identifying Silent Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease During Routine Health Check-ups. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objectives The endoscopic pressure study integrated system (EPSIS) is a novel functional endoscopic modality that records intragastric pressure (IGP) waveforms during CO2 insufflation to evaluate lower esophageal sphincter (LES) function and diagnose gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

TGFβ1 single-nucleotide polymorphism C-509T alters mucosal cell function in pediatric eosinophilic esophagitis. [PDF]
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic Th2 antigen-driven disorder associated with tissue remodeling. Inflammation and remodeling lead to esophageal rigidity, strictures, and dysphagia. TGFβ1 drives esophageal remodeling including epithelial barrier

Cow's milk protein allergy with protein‐losing enteropathy under the scope
ABSTRACT Objectives Cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) is very frequent in infants. Presentation is variable, and symptoms fluctuate in intensity. Diagnosis can be challenging as it is mostly clinical. In severe cases, patients can present with anasarca secondary to protein‐losing enteropathy (PLE).

Avoidant and restrictive food intake disorder among children with eosinophilic esophagitis
Abstract Objectives Children with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) may be at heightened risk for developing the eating disorder avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID). However, relatively few studies have specifically looked at the prevalence of ARFID in children with EoE. The literature is plagued by varying diagnostic nomenclatures; existing
