imitations, especially for individuals at smaller institutions or those traditionally underrepresented in medicine. Lateral mentorship with near peers is a potential adjunctive form of mentorship that can help fill these gaps. In this review, we provide a background on this non-traditional form of mentorship and highlight its distinct benefits and associated challenges. We also provide a case study of our experience with a dedicated group of near-peer mentors in hepatology. By sharing our perspective on near-peer mentorship we hope to expand the uptake and support of lateral mentorship programs within our field. Mentorship is paramount for success in academic medicine, impacting personal and professional growth. Traditional mentorship forms the backbone of mentorship in academic medicine and has many benefits including perspective and sponsorship opportunities. Traditional mentorship, however, has some limitations, especially for individuals at smaller institutions or those traditional

Mashup Score: 107British Society of Gastroenterology guidelines on inflammatory bowel disease in adults: 2025 - 21 hour(s) ago
In response to recent advancements in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) management, the British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG) Clinical Services and Standards Committee (CSSC) has commissioned the BSG IBD section to update its guidelines, last revised in 2019. These updated guidelines aim to complement the IBD standards and promote the use of the national primary care diagnostic pathway for lower gastrointestinal symptoms to enhance diagnostic accuracy and timeliness. Formulated through a systematic and transparent process, this document reflects a consensus of best practices based on current evidence. The guideline, while developed primarily for the UK, is structured to support IBD management internationally. It is endorsed by the BSG executive board and CSSC without external commercial funding, with involvement primarily supported through professional roles in public institutions and the National Health Service (NHS). Methodological revisions since the prior guidelines have enhance

ormance characteristics of current noninvasive test cut-points among Hispanic patients and determined whether they could be further optimized. Approach and Results: We prospectively enrolled 244 adults with biopsy-proven metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease. Participants underwent a research visit with magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) and vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE). Histology and imaging assessments were conducted centrally. Diagnostic performance was evaluated by AUROC and optimal cut-points were identified by Youden J analysis. The mean (±SD) age and body mass index were 52.6 (±13) and 31.6 (±4.6) kg/m2. Overall, 40% had diabetes, and 31% (N = 75) were Hispanic. Forty percent of Hispanic and 28.4% of non-Hispanic patients had significant fibrosis. To detect significant fibrosis, MRE and VCTE exhibited significantly lower accuracy in Hispanic versus non-Hispanic participants (AUROC: MRE, 0.87 vs. 0.98, p = 0.01; VCTE, 0.78 vs. 0.92, p =

Eosinophilic gastrointestinal (GI) diseases (EGIDs) are chronic inflammatory disorders that can affect the esophagus, stomach, small bowel, or colon.1 Although diagnostic criteria are available for eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), non-EoE EGIDs affecting the GI tract distal to the esophagus remain poorly defined, particularly for adult patients.1 This is due to limited understanding of normal eosinophil variability (per site and tissue layer) in the GI tract, non–eosinophil disease-specific histology, and the complex interactions among immune, epithelial, and stromal cells that contribute to disease.

A capsule-sponge test may help identify patients with Barrett’s esophagus who are at low risk for dysplasia or esophageal cancer and potentially eliminate the need for repeat endoscopies, according to research published in The Lancet.BE is a known risk factor for the development of dysplasia and esophageal cancer. For this reason, patients diagnosed with BE are monitored through regular

established in our prior mixed-methods study (two service weeks plus five calls per month). METHODS This multicenter study used mixed methods, integrating clinical schedules (CY2022), work relative value units, and qualitative insights from semistructured interviews (July 2023 to June 2024). Schedules were converted to shifts (8–14 hours). Hospitals were short-staffed when shift demand exceeded supply based on each surgeon’s cFTE. Interviews explored clinical demand and staffing challenges. Descriptive analysis and a deductive-inductive thematic analysis were performed. RESULTS Forty Level I/II hospitals representing 412 acute care surgeons (287 cFTEs) from 25 states were included. Seventy-nine percent of hospitals were short-staffed. Compared with well-staffed hospitals, short-staffed hospitals had fewer cFTEs (6.5 [interquartile range (IQR), 3] vs. 8.6 [IQR, 3], p < 0.05), a higher demand for clinical work (1,889 [IQR, 933] vs. 1,388 [IQR, 674] shifts, p = 0.05) and a higher work rel
