Good morning, everybody. Welcome to the ASG JGES ESD training advanced course today. I guess most of you already enjoyed the primer course yesterday and the day before yesterday. But today and tomorrow, we are planning to give you much more intensive training regarding ESD technique and also very exciting new tricks. I'm now Hisaya Hagi from Keio University and together with Norio Fukami from Mayo Clinic, we are going to host this course as course directors. Well, ESD is a kind of very primitive, simple technique, but usually highly effective. And simple technical change or some tricks make huge difference. And we are trying to give you many information as far as possible regarding the new techniques and tricks during this course. Please feel free to ask to the faculty members at any time if you have any questions. Please enjoy this course. Thanks, Norio-san. Good morning again. I wanted to find out the numbers because we have a little bit of overstaffed or over registration. So could you raise your hand if you're participating this morning? Participants? Okay, keep your hands up. Raise your hand. Raise your hand. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20. So the plan is to have half of your group go to the hands-on this morning, half will stay, and then we're going to switch in the afternoon. And tomorrow is going to be whole day hands-on. The idea was to make only two people at the station. You might have three people at the station, but we just have to work with it. Advanced course is designed to give you the tips and techniques and some opportunity to improve your skill. So if you're coming back in the future, please bring your case to see how you can improve with this with a procedure so that we can give you the guidance or feedback or tips why it was not going well and what can be done, what could have been done at the time. Having said that, at the station, teacher will be asking you the question what you want to learn. So this is a really tailored course, so you have to have an objective. What you want to learn for the hands-on station, you have a lot of time to practice on, so try to focus on the one that you need to improve. You cannot say just I want to do ESD, that's for primary course. We want you to know what the shortcomings that you have, so you have to have introspect. You have to reflect on your procedure, how it went, and what was the difficulty that you need to improve upon. So hopefully we can do that today, and tomorrow we will repeat again. Tomorrow the difference is half of the stations have live peak again. Today everything is explained. So tomorrow we'll switch around live peak to explained, so don't worry that if you're not assigned to live peak, you're going to have an opportunity. For the agenda, we had a switch of the speaker for pre-COAG on the vessels. Dr. Yahagi was assigned, but Dr. Toyonaga will be speaking on it. He's the the well, both of them expert, but due to what's that? Pioneer, that's right. That's what, yeah, thank you. I was wanting to find the word. We have two new faculties today. We're privileged to have Peter Dragunov, raise your hand, for the next two days as a teacher, and Stavros Stavropoulos, who joined to teach us, teach you guys. So thank you for coming. Just briefly, we want to show you again, now so we know. Dr. Toyonaga, raise your hand. Dr. Yamamoto. Okay, Dr. Tanabe. Dr. Shimamura. There you go. Dr. Abe. I'm glad everybody's here. Dr. Miura. Dr. Kikuchi. Dr. Sasaki. Dr. Kato, and Dr. Sakaguchi. There. So they're the Japanese faculty who came all the way, staying four days to teach you. So thank you very much for your excellent teaching. And we have Hiro. Good. Dr. Adam left, and Dr. Stavros, Dr. Dragunov came in. So Dr. Bekara, he's probably changing clothes. Dr. Bhatt. Dr. Hashimoto left. Dr. Kansaboi. And Dr. Siddiqui also left, and Dr. Wang also left. And Dr. Nishimura couldn't make it, because he had COVID, unfortunately, just before the course. So that's the faculty. We have two new attendees today. So I wanted to show what we have from this industry support. And the new vendor station, there's a Pathfinder is here. So if you're interested in seeing the device, you can see it at the station, I mean at the vendor booth. In addition, today we have many devices available. The overstitch state, X-TAC available. Dilumin's available. Pathfinder's available. So if we want to try, if you want to learn about it, you can request for it. Okay. There's exhibitors, and the Pathfinder is actually in addition. We're going to have a break in between during the session, and also at the lecture hall. And afternoon will resume at 1pm. Whoever hasn't changed clothes, or if you want to change, let's do it early, so that you don't miss the time. Now, how many of you have a number already? Probably half of it. Letters, letters and numbers. We have many virtual attendees, and for you, we will have a virtual live demonstration from the hands-on lab in the afternoon. That will be from 1 o'clock, 1.30, starting with Dr. Toyonaga and Dr. Yamamoto and Dr. Yahagi explaining more advanced technique. So be sure to come back for that. This session, even the lecture hall, is supposed to be interactive, so please ask questions. There's no stupid question. Just push the button on the table. Make sure that the green light is lit on, and then start speaking so that everybody can hear. The live audience, I mean virtual audience, you can also ask questions. I keep monitoring your questions, and I ask on behalf of you. Hopefully we can make a really good discussion, and we brought the video. I think one of you brought one case, and I appreciate that. In the future, I hope to see many more participation bringing the video. Preliminarily, next year's course will be in July 2023, so look out for announcement. We'll do it much earlier than this year, and unfortunately, it's going to be a little more expensive. Finally, we would like to have an evaluation suggestion. I got many suggestions already, but please, if you think anything we can do to improve the course, let us know. It's eight o'clock. Should we start already? Okay, so hands-on labs supposed to start 8 30. We have 30 minutes. I think we're going to start lecture hall at 8 15 in 15 minutes, so if you want to change your clothes, please go ahead and have a little more food, coffee, and I'll see you back at 8 15. Thank you.
