• Different beverages contain the same amount of alcohol but in different volumes
• This is due to variation in alcohol concentration (ABV – Alcohol by Volume)

🔬 Biopsy smart, not routine.
Knowing when to biopsy—and when not to— can change diagnosis, management, and outcomes in upper GI endoscopy.
From Barrett’s protocols to linitis plastica sampling—precision matters.

CT chest shows a markedly dilated, fluid-filled oesophagus with smooth distal tapering and no obstructing mass—imaging features suggestive of achalasia.
Diagnosis confirmed on high-resolution manometry (Type II).
Patient underwent POEM, with dysphagia score improving
from 3 → 1.
📌 A nice example of radiology–manometry–endoscopy concordance and clinical response.
Nutrition is central in cirrhosis care. Malnutrition, sarcopenia, and frailty worsen transplant outcomes.
Early assessment, adequate calories, and high-quality protein prehabilitation preserve muscle and resilience. The waitlist is a window to intervene.

miR147 protects gut mucosa by strengthening epithelial integrity and controlling inflammation.
Knockout → severe colitis, barrier loss, ↑ permeability.
miR147 targets Ndufa4 to maintain metabolic balance + type I IFN signaling.
Therapeutic potential in IBD & colorectal cancer.
COBALT Trial (PBC): Despite early termination, adjusted analyses + real-world external controls showed obeticholic acid (OCA) reduces major liver events.
EC (External Control) analysis: 60% risk reduction in the risk of adverse clinical outcomes like death, liver transplantation, or hepatic decompensation.(HR 0.39).
Well-tolerated; pruritus most common.
Highlights power of hybrid RCT + real-world evidence.
