- 3y follow-up after TORe for post-RYGB patients showed redilation of the anastomosis in spite of the reduction method - #obesity is chronic and relapsing, treatment is perennial; TORe should be repeated periodically as soon as weight gain recurs thieme-connect.de/products/e…

Interesting SR + MA published in @AGA_CGH reporting risk factor for early-onset CRC. - 1st degree relative w/ CRC: RR 4.21 - Alcohol consumption: RR 1.71 - Hyperlipidemia: RR 1.62 - Obesity: RR 1.54 We should consider them to indicate colonoscopy <45yo. cghjournal.org/article/S1542…

ERCP is no time to hurry. Biliary brushing is an important tool in the diagnostic algorithm of Malignant Strictures. More brushing passes = better sensitivity - 10 passes = 38% - 20 '' = 47% - 30 '' = 58% Cheap and easy, costs only patience! #GITwitter journals.lww.com/ajg/Fulltex…

NBI added significant improvement to WLI diagnostic profile during POCS for undetermined biliary strictures. Sens: 75% x 87.5% Spec: 82.9% x 91.4% Accur: 82.8% x 91.3% AUC ROC: 0.80 x 0.96 (p=0.01) @GIE_Journal #GITwitter giejournal.org/article/S0016…

Problem is: authors employed an ultraslim endoscope which is not widely available. Time for other more common POCS devices such as the SpyGlass to incorporate NBI.
WESTERN DATA: ESD safer and more efficacious than EMR to address #barrettsesophagus neoplasia: ✅ En-bloc resection: 43% x 89% (p<0.001) ✅ R0 resection: 56% x 73% (p=0.01) ✅ Residual/recurrent disease: 24% x 3.5% (p<0.001) #Cancer thieme-connect.de/products/e… @endoscopyjrnl

@amitbhattMD Very supportive to shift our practice toward ESD as a gold-standard.
Preop hypoalbuminemia is associated with several negative outcomes after #bariatricsurgery - Death: OR 1.37 (1.13-1.67) - Pneumonia: OR 1.49 (1.31-1.69) - VTE: OR 1.82 (1.58-2.10) - 30-day hospitalization: OR 2.76 (2.15-3.54) @SOARD_JOURNAL #GITwitter soard.org/article/S1550-7289…

APC is a safe and effective therapy for TORe in weight regain after RYGB! We continue to be live on @BariatricLive! Excellent demonstration by @VBrunaldi! Join us at: bariatricendoscopylive.com

Obesity: a silent hazardous disease. Up to a third “metabolically healthy” pts with obesity have moderate to severe steatosis, and 1/4 have fibrosis. There is nothing more contradictory than classifying #obesity as “healthy”. @SOARD_JOURNAL #bariatric soard.org/article/S1550-7289…
