Michael B. WallaceHOST
I'm a gastroenterologist here at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida, and I'm joined by Dr. Yichen Wang, [notification tone] one of our GI fellows here at the Mayo Clinic.
Michael B. WallaceHOST
Today, we're going to discuss our recently published paper in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy.
Michael B. WallaceHOST
Um, Dr. Wang, tell us a bit about your current role in gastroenterology and artificial intelligence research and what inspired you and your co-authors to write this review on embodied AI and humanoid robotics in endoscopy.
Yichen WangGUEST
Yes.
Michael B. WallaceHOST
Uh, this is often termed VLA.
Michael B. WallaceHOST
Uh, we're all familiar with large language models.
Michael B. WallaceHOST
Could you explain what VLA models are and why they may be particularly important for the future of flexible gastrointestinal endoscopy?
Yichen WangGUEST
Right.
Muhammad Ali ButtHOST
I'm joined today by Dr. Sultan Mehmood, who is assistant professor of medicine and director of endoscopy at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and senior author on this work.
Muhammad Ali ButtHOST
We are here to discuss our study published in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy: Outcomes of Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy in Patients with Cirrhosis: A Multicenter Experience.
Sultan MahmoodGUEST
Thank you, Ali.
Sultan MahmoodGUEST
This is a topic I'm generally passionate about.
6 MINS LATER
Muhammad Ali ButtHOST
And now I'll s- try to summarize this.
Muhammad Ali ButtHOST
This early multicenter experience suggests that in carefully selected patients with cirrhosis, treating at experienced centers with proper multidisciplinary support, POEM can be technically feasible, clinically effective, and safe.
Muhammad Ali ButtHOST
We are grateful to our co-authors across all six institutions and to Gastrointestinal Endoscopy for the opportunity to share this work.
Muhammad Ali ButtHOST
Cirrhosis should not be an automatic no to POEM.
Marc BarthetGUEST
Dear friends and dear colleagues, uh, so I just want to present, uh, our new study, which is going to be published in Gastrointes- Gastrointestinal Endoscopy.
Marc BarthetGUEST
And this is a, a, a paper about the treatment by radiofrequency, uh, EUS guided for, uh, side branch IPMN, uh, and, uh, only with worrisome features, but also some cases of high-risk stigmata.
Marc BarthetGUEST
Uh, as you know, we have very few literature about it.
Yashbir SinghHOST
At Mayo Clinic since 2003, he became professor of medicine in 2007 and currently serves as a director of research for Mayo Clinic GI.
Yashbir SinghHOST
He served as editor-in-chief of gastrointestinal endoscopy from 2015 to 2023.
Yashbir SinghHOST
His work focuses on early detection of pancreatic, esophageal, and collateral cancer through advanced imaging, biomarker, and AI-enhanced endoscopy alongside therapeutic endoscopy resection.
Yashbir SinghHOST
Welcome, Dr. Wallace.
Michael WallaceGUEST
And since they've trained many, many people since then, and I think that pathway of rigorous training in clinical investigation is something that has certainly served me well, and I think served many other people well, but wasn't common at the time.
Michael WallaceGUEST
Many people saw that The bench scientist pathway is really the only common route to academic success.
Yashbir SinghHOST
so yeah it's a really quite interesting journey you have so you joined Mayo Clinic in 2003 and become a professor of medicine by 2007 and went on to serve as an editor-in-chief of gastrointestinal endoscopy from 2015 to 2023 arguably the most influential editorial seat in the field how did leading the journal change the way you see your own research? And what shift in the science of endoscopy did you witness from that vantage point?
Michael WallaceGUEST
Yeah, serving as a journal editor is, I would say, in retrospect, maybe the most professionally rewarding roles that I've served outside of my core clinical practice and core investigation.
