Some old villains need reappraisal as new evidence come out: deep submucosal invasion is not an independent risk factor for LND mtx in T1 CRC. Absolute risk: 2.6% - justifies additional surgical resection? gastrojournal.org/article/S0016-… Gastroenterology

By implementing a standardized reporting system, authors increased 50% the odds of diagnosing pancreatic cancer in CTs and MRIs. I bet the same apply to colonoscopy and CRC screening, and routine EGD. #GITwitter #colonoscopy #science #cancerresearch cghjournal.org/article/S1542-…

Patients with adenocarcinoma of the esophagus or esophagogastric junction frequently have potential screening opportunities: ow.ly/7BYA50IKGJK

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-…

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/Fulltext/2…

Interesting SR + MA published in 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-…

Takeaway message from today’s GIH conference by the phenomenal Dr. Abu Dayyeh •The Gl tract is an important target for metabolic regulation and glycemic control •Endoscopic regenerative therapies can play a role in the management of diabetes and metabolic diseases

- 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/ejour…
