The Gastrointestinal Side Effectsof GLP-1 Therapies: Understanding the Physiology to Prevent Malnutrition

|
By Sepehr Nassiri, Jonathan A. Busam, Bianca Chang
| Practical Gastro Verified
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (RAs) have rapidly transformed the management of type 2 diabetes and obesity. While their cardiovascular and metabolic benefits are well established, their effects on the gastrointestinal (GI) system are often underappreciated in routine care. GLP-1 RAs modulate appetite, gastric emptying, and intestinal motility, making the GI tract both the therapeutic target and the primary site of adverse events.

Functional Lumen Imaging Probe (EndoFLIP)and EsoFLIP: Practical Indications, Interpretation, and Limitations

|
By Vatsal Khanna, Douglas G. Adler Verified
| Practical Gastro Verified
Introduction Advances in gastrointestinal functional testing have highlighted the limitations of relying on high-resolution manometry (HRM) alone to characterize esophageal pathology, especially with regards to manometric disturbances in patients with dysphagia. While HRM remains the gold standard for evaluating esophageal motor disorders, it provides a pressure-based assessment that may not fully reflect tissue compliance during bolus transit.

Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction: Behavioral Therapies and Integration of the GI-Psychologist and GI-Registered Dietitian Care

|
By Bethany Doerfler, Anjali Pandit Bokota, Kristen Kimble
| Practical Gastro Verified
Effective management of Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction (DGBIs) often requires an interdisciplinary approach that extends beyond the gastrointestinal (GI) provider.

Capsule Endoscopy Yield in Pediatric Patients

| Practical Gastro Verified
Video capsule endoscopy (VCE) uses a small, wireless, capsule camera that is swallowed or placed endoscopically to evaluate the entirety of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract often beyond the reach of standard endoscopy. This study evaluated the efficacy of VCE in making a diagnosis as well as assisting in potentially changing therapy in children with GI conditions.

Prevention and Management of Postoperative Crohn’s Disease

|
By Benjamin Click, Miguel Regueiro
| Practical Gastro Verified
Postoperative recurrent Crohn’s disease is common and often clinically silent at onset, requiring objective assessments for diagnosis and surveillance. Patients with a history of multiple bowel resections, penetrating disease, or who smoke cigarettes after surgery are at highest risk for disease recurrence. Antibiotics, aminosalicylates, and immunomodulators modestly reduce the risk of clinical disease recurrence.
