Article Abstract
Digestive endoscopy is widely performed in clinical practice, including in children, and has revolutionized the diagnosis and treatment of many gastrointestinal (GI) disorders. Interventional procedures are increasingly utilized, particularly for hepatobiliary and pancreatic diseases. However, only a limited number of gastroenterologists are trained and experienced to perform endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and endoscopic ultrasound in pediatric patients. While GI endoscopic emergencies in children are uncommon, they can be serious. Effective care demands true multidisciplinary teamwork, with close and ongoing collaboration between gastroenterologists, anesthetists, and the pediatric team especially in centres where pediatric endoscopy specialists are not available. This mini-review outlines current practices in pediatric digestive endoscopy and explores recent advances in interventional endoscopy compared to adult patients.

Clinical practice guidelines for esophagogastric junction cancer (EGJ GLs) were published in 2023. In order to evaluate how EGJ GLs have been adopted into clinical practice worldwide and to identify any outstanding clinical questions to be addressed in the next edition, this survey was conducted. An electronic questionnaire was developed.

While the cancer genome is well-studied, the nongenetic exposome of cancer remains elusive, particularly for regionally prevalent cancers with poor prognosis. Here, by employing a combined knowledge- and data-driven strategy, we profile the chemical exposome of plasma from 53 healthy controls, 14 esophagitis and 101 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients, and 46 esophageal tissues across 12 Chinese provinces, integrating inorganic, endogenous, and exogenous chemicals. We first show that components of the ESCC chemical exposome mediate the relationship between ESCC-related dietary/lifestyle factors and clinic health status indicators.

Background And Aims: A scoring model was proposed to support endoscopic decision-making for cardial submucosal tumors (SMTs). The aim of this study is to perform a multicenter validation of the clinical scoring model and to introduce a new clinical classification system for cardial SMTs.
Methods: A multicenter analysis of endoscopic decision-making for cardial submucosal tumors (SMTs) was conducted.

Background: Training in endoscopy has traditionally been based upon an apprenticeship model, where novices develop their skills on real patients under the supervision of experienced endoscopists. In an effort to prioritise patient safety, simulation training has emerged as a means to allow novices to practice in a risk-free environment. This is the second update of the review, which was first published in 2012 and updated in 2018.
