Fecal butyric acid levels increased in IBS patients at 2 and 3 years after FMT and were inverse correlation with both IBS symptoms and fatigue suggesting that butyric acid contributes to the long‐term improvement seen after FMT. ABSTRACT Background We previously found that the fecal levels of short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs) changed in irritable bowel ...

Fluorescence Guided Surgery in Gastric Cancer: What Do We Have and What Can We Do?
ABSTRACT Background and Objective Fluorescence imaging has emerged as a valuable adjunct in gastric surgery, enhancing resection precision and oncologic outcomes. However, the use of indocyanine green (ICG) remains controversial due to uncertainties in efficacy and administration. A lack of standardized protocols persists.

Bronchogenic cyst in gastric fundus. ABSTRACT Bronchogenic cysts originate from abnormal foregut budding during embryogenesis. Two pathogenic mechanisms exist: (1) ectopic migration of tracheobronchial precursors forming cysts in extrapulmonary sites, and (2) retained bronchial buds developing pulmonary cysts through mucus accumulation.

Postoperative Fluoroscopic Appearance After Flexible Endoscopic Zenker's Diverticulotomy
We perform a retrospective study on patients undergoing flexible Zenker's diverticulotomy surgery and report changes in the objective fluoroscopic appearance as well as patient‐reported outcome measures. ABSTRACT Objective Flexible approach to treating Zenker's diverticulum (ZD) has gained traction in recent years. However, objective measures comparing
