Over the Scope Clips are More Effective Than Standard Endoscopic Therapy for Patients With Recurrent Bleeding of Peptic Ulcers
Endoscopic hemostasis is effective in treatment of bleeding peptic ulcers. However, re-bleeding is difficult to treat and associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. We performed a prospective randomized trial to determine whether over the sco… Continue reading

No Superiority of Stents vs Balloon Dilatation for Dominant Strictures in Patients With Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis
Dominant strictures occur in approximately 50% of patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). Short-term stents have been reported to produce longer resolution of dominant strictures than single-balloon dilatation. We performed a prospective st… Continue reading

Risk of Neoplastic Progression in Individuals at High Risk for Pancreatic Cancer Undergoing Long-term Surveillance
Screening of individuals who have a high risk of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), due to genetic factors, frequently leads to identification of pancreatic lesions. We investigated the incidence of PDAC and risk factors for neoplastic progressio… Continue reading

Older Age Reduces Upper Esophageal Sphincter and Esophageal Body Responses to Simulated Slow and Ultraslow Reflux Events and Post-reflux Residue
It is not clear how age affects airway protective mechanisms. We investigated the effects of aging on upper esophageal sphincter (UES) and esophageal body pressure responses to slow and ultra-slow simulated reflux events and post-reflux residue. Continue reading
