    Abstract Purpose of review: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is the most common chronic condition with increasing prevalence in the Western world. Despite medical therapy, a considerable proportion of patients continue to experience symptoms, thus fueling the demand for minimally invasive GERD treatment options. This review will assess the currently available endoscopic approaches by analyzing their outcomes data, indication for use and limitations.
    Recent findings: With increasing evidence of the safety and efficacy of endoscopic therapies, recent guidelines and consensus society documents have updated their recommendations for the endoscopic treatment of GERD. In this review, we have comprehensively assessed the current landscape of endoscopic approaches for the treatment of GERD and provided insight into future directions.
    Summary: Endoscopic therapies for GERD show promise as new treatments emerge and existing therapies evolve into safer and more reproducible options. They are well positioned to cater to a large subset of the population suffering from chronic condition of GERD.

    Abstract An elderly gentleman self-presented to A+E with a 7-day history of significant and progressive left-sided neck pain, swelling and fevers, despite oral antibiotics from his general practitioner. Examination revealed a large left-sided neck mass involving levels 2-5 of the neck that was firm to palpate, with erythematous overlying skin.An urgent CT scan demonstrated a large collection throughout the length of the left sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM), measuring 13×5.5×4 cm, with extensive adjacent inflammatory change. He was subsequently taken to theatre for washout and debridement, during which the collection was found to be loculated and isolated to the SCM, with surrounding structures spared.Postoperatively, he was managed with intravenous fluids and a total of 2 weeks of intravenous antibiotics. The wound partially dehisced during healing and the cavity was packed with flaminal and regularly dressed with input from the tissue viability team. This was then left to heal by secondary intention and the patient was followed up in clinic over the following weeks to ensure resolution.

    Abstract Background and aims: Endoscopic suturing is a complex skill with broad applications. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a novel endoscopic suturing simulator and scoring system for the purse-string suture pattern.
    Methods: This was a prospective study of an endoscopic suturing simulator that consists of a circular opening representing a dilated gastrojejunal anastomosis of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with 12 small target holes around its circumference. Purse-string suturing is performed in a counterclockwise fashion. Time allotted is 5 minutes, and each successful bite is awarded 10 points. Participants were divided into the novice, intermediate, and experienced groups. Validity evidence based on content, validity evidence based on other variables, and validity evidence based on consequences of testing were assessed.
    Results: Seventeen subjects (3 novice, 7 intermediate, and 7 experienced) participated in the study. Validity evidence based on content: The content validity index for realism, relevance, and representativeness was 0.89, 1.00, and 1.00, respectively. Validity evidence based on other variables: The novice, intermediate, and experienced groups scored 30.0 ± 8.2, 57.1 ± 28.1, and 131.2 ± 51.7 (P = .001). Validity evidence based on consequences of testing: The simulator group required 5 ± 5 transoral outlet reduction cases before being able to independently complete an entire purse-string, whereas the non-simulator group required 38 ± 11 clinical cases (P < .0001).
    Conclusions: This novel endoscopic suturing simulator seems realistic, relevant, and representative of the clinical suturing experience. In addition, it seems effective at objectively assessing suturing skills and shortening the clinical learning curve.

    Abstract Background: The stress of a mother's depression may increasingly tax psychobiological systems that help children with self-regulation, increasing children's allostatic load over time. Some evidence supports children exposed to maternal depression tend to have shorter telomeres and tend to have more somatic and psychological problems. Children having one or more A1 alleles of dopamine receptor 2 (DRD2, rs1800497), tend to have greater sensitivity to maternal depression and could experience more adverse child outcomes that contribute to greater allostatic load.
    Methods: Using the Future Families and Child Wellbeing dataset, secondary-data analyses were used to test the effect of repeated exposure to maternal depression during early childhood on children's telomere length during middle childhood moderated by children's DRD2 genotype (N = 2884).
    Results: Greater maternal depression was not significantly associated with shorter child telomere length and this association was not moderated by DRD2 genotypes while controlling for factors associated with child telomere length.
    Implications: The effect of maternal depression on children's TL may not be significant in populations from diverse racial-ethnic and family backgrounds during middle childhood. These findings could help further our current understanding psychobiological systems affected by maternal depression that result in adverse child outcomes.
    Limitations: Even though this study used a relatively large and diverse sample, replication of DRD2 moderation in even larger samples is an important next step.

    Abstract Background and aims: Transoral outlet reduction (TORe) and antiobesity medication (AOM) are effective treatments for weight regain after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). This study aims to assess the efficacy of combination therapy (TORe + AOM) for treating weight regain and to compare the safety and efficacy of combination therapy with AOM alone, TORe alone, and surgical revision of RYGB.
    Methods: This was a retrospective study of RYGB patients with weight regain who underwent combination therapy, defined as initiation of at least 1 AOM within 6 months before or after TORe. Outcomes were weight loss after combination therapy and comparison of combination therapy with AOM alone, TORe alone, and surgical revision.
    Results: One hundred forty-five RYGB patients underwent combination therapy. Most commonly prescribed AOMs were topiramate, phentermine/topiramate, phentermine, and liraglutide. At 12 months, patients experienced 15.2% ± 7.4% total weight loss (TWL). Ninety percent of patients achieved ≥5% TWL at 12 months. Combination therapy was associated with greater weight loss than AOM alone (15.2% ± 7.4% vs 6.8% ± 8.2% TWL, P < .0001) or TORe alone (15.2% ± 7.4% vs 8.7% ± 8.3% TWL, P < .0001), with similar serious adverse event rates (2.1% vs 4.7% vs .6% for combination therapy vs AOM alone vs TORe alone, P > .05). Combination therapy yielded similar weight loss to surgical revision (15.2% ± 7.4% vs 16.4% ± 13.1% TWL, P = .34), with a lower serious adverse event rate (2.1% vs 14.3%, P = .0004).
    Conclusions: Combination of TORe with AOM is superior to either therapy alone, providing similar efficacy to surgical revision with a better safety profile for the treatment of weight regain after RYGB.
