A new Clinical Practice article summarizes the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of Barrett’s esophagus, a reflux-related condition with increased adenocarcinoma risk, highlighting endoscopic diagnosis, surveillance, and early curative therapy.

A new Northwestern Medicine study, led by Sri Komanduri, MD, suggests that a structured simulation‑based training program can significantly improve how gastroenterologists remove precancerous colon polyps and translate into better performance during real-patient procedures.

Moving forward, Dr. Komanduri and collaborators hope to expand the training and other endoscopic skills to the Northwestern Medicine health system. Get publication details here: https://t.co/adTsHQcwhM

Do you extend RISA when patients do not have a significant response at 12 weeks of induction?

The data is promising but who is really doing it?

Endoscopic appearance of cricopharyngeal bar in a patient with dysphagia and inability to advance the upper endoscope.

It can sometimes be mistaken for a “Zenker diverticulum” because of the space above the shelf (commonly coexist)

Mechanistic debate emerging around anti- IL-23 and FcγRI/CD64 binding in IBD

A study (Sachen KL et al 2025) suggested guselkumab may gain additional activity through Fc-mediated binding to CD64+ myeloid cells producing IL-23

A new study now challenges whether this mechanism is actually physiologically relevant in vivo

What is TXI mode (Olympus)?

Unlike NBI, TXI doesn't change light's wavelength, it's post-processing of white light image

TXI 1: ↑color, brightness & contrast→characterization

TXI 2: ↑brightness & contrast (closer to WLI) → detection

It is enhanced WLI

Can pre-op pelvimetry help predict a difficult pouch? 📐🔎

This @FrontGastro_BMJ study explores pelvimetry as a predictive factor for difficult ileal pouch–anal anastomosis and postoperative complications — bringing anatomy, imaging and surgical planning together in IPAA care. 🧑‍⚕️🏥

A useful read for IBD surgeons, colorectal teams and clinicians managing patients considering restorative proctocolectomy.

❓ What best predicts liver dysfunction after locoregional therapy in HCC patients? @LTxJournal
👉 Liver function scores (MELD, MELD-Na, bilirubin) outperformed tumor and demographic variables, with MELD showing the highest discrimination for both 30- and 90-day outcomes. 
👉 Retrospective cohort study by Agins et al. has recently been published in Liver Transplantation.
