Evolving techniques for gastrointestinal endoscopic hemostasis treatment [PDF]
With mortality due to gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding remaining stable, the focus on endoscopic hemostasis has been on improving other outcomes such as rebleeding rate, need for transfusions, and need for angiographic embolization or surgery. Over the past few years, a number of devices have emerged to help endoscopically assess and treat bleeding GI ...

Endoscopic character identities for depth-zero supercuspidal L-packets [PDF]
We prove the conjectural endoscopic transfer of L-packets for the local Langlands correspondence for pure inner forms of unramified p-adic groups and depth-zero parameters established by DeBacker and Reeder. More precisely, we show that under mild conditions on the residual characteristic, endoscopic induction identifies an unstable character of such ...
