Educational image in this month's issue of Gastroenterology

A few personal takeaways from the updated guidelines: 🚫 PPI-REE 👍 6 esophageal biopsies, from 2 levels 💊 PPI = topical steroids 👎 Allergy-test directed diets 🩺 Re-assess response w/ EGD 8-12w after changes to tx 🤔 Consider empiric dilation (16-18 mm) if sx persist

A couple of clinical pearls from Gastroenterology Curbside Consults: ✨ The pathologic findings from colchicine toxicity? Ring mitosis (also seen w/ paclitaxel) ✨ Don't overlook peritoneal TB if the ascites returns negative! Sensitivity is poor ➡️ Stains (5%) ➡️ Cx (35%) ➡️ PCR (64%)

How should we biopsy to characterize chronic gastritis? Here's what AJG - The American Journal of Gastroenterology says in this month's issue:

Appreciated this article from Mohammad Bilal, MD (with commentary by Mohamed Othman ) on endoscopic internalization of PCTs. 1 thing I've been told is to consider manual instillation via syringe to better feel the pressure. Well worth the short read for those of us who do it!

I've anecdotally seen some good outcomes with EUS-guided hepaticojejunostomy in patients with total gastrectomy, so it's nice to see other centers report the same in this month's GIE 👉Technical success = 100% 👉Clinical success = 80% 👉Adverse events = 33%
