Recurrent dysphagia after esophageal SEMS?
👉 Don’t assume tumor progression.

📸 X-ray: Stent migrated into stomach

💡 Most common cause: stent migration

🔧 Next step:
✔ Endoscopy
✔ Retrieval ± re-stenting (better fixation)

🎯 Restore swallowing, improve QOL

GLP-1 vs bariatric endoscopy — no clear winner.

Meta-analysis (Obesity Surgery, Apr 2026): similar short-term weight loss, BMI reduction, and glycemic control.
Difference lies in safety:
GLP-1 → GI side effects
Endoscopy → procedural/device risks

Treatment should be individualized. Long-term data needed.

• A standard drink (SD) contains approximately 14 grams (0.6 fl oz) of pure alcohol
• 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.

🎯 HCC treatment is evolving…
TACE + immunotherapy + targeted therapy shows stronger outcomes—but are we ready to change practice?

⚠️ Promising data, but guidelines still need phase III confirmation

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.
