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: breakthroughsforphysicians.n…

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.

💉 How to perform the best submucosal cushion for endoscopic mucosal resection
✅ Forget about everything written in GI books - you do not need „four-quadrant“ injection.
