Clinical predictive value of renalase in post-ERCP pancreatitis

On By GIEjournalIn GIE, InvestigationsLeave a comment

Post written by Thiruvengadam Muniraj, MD, from the Department of Medicine, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut, USA. Post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) is the most common adverse event after ERCP. Despite adoption of several strategies such as rectal indomethacin, pancreatic duct stent placement, and aggressive fluid administration, incidence of PEP remains substantial. Identifying patients who are likely to develop …

Utility of prophylactic clipping after colorectal cold snare polypectomy in patients on oral antithrombotic agents

On By GIEjournalIn GIE, InvestigationsLeave a comment

Post written by Kenichiro Okimoto, MD, PhD, from the Department of Gastroenterology, Graduate School of Medicine, Chiba University, Chiba, Japan. Prophylactic clipping may be unnecessary to prevent delayed bleeding (DB) after colorectal cold snare polypectomy (CSP) in patients on antithrombotic agents. There is no consensus on the effectiveness of prophylactic clipping after colonic CSP. This study …

Enhanced accuracy for classification of video capsule endoscopy images using multiple deep learning convolutional neural networks

On By GIEjournalIn iGIE, InvestigationsLeave a comment

Post written by David R. Cave, MD, PhD, from Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, USA. Video capsule endoscopy was first introduced in 2001. A major inhibitor to its widespread use has been that reading the output video takes significant time. The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) provides an opportunity to help the reader decrease time …
