The prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis in patients with inflammatory bowel disease
(IBD) is estimated between 17% and 41%, partly due to repeat courses of glucocorticoids
which enhance the risk for bone disease. Multiple gastroenterological and endocrine

with IBD, with estimates suggesting providers vary in their adherence. We aimed to improve
the rate of BMD screening in patients with IBD in a large academic outpatient practice. Using …

[HTML][HTML] EUS of a submucosal lesion at the appendiceal orifice using a double-balloon endoluminal intervention platform

Methods A pediatric colonoscope equipped with a DEIP (DiLumen; Lumendi, Westport,
Conn, USA)(Fig. 2) was advanced to the cecum where a 20-mm submucosal lesion was
seen at the appendiceal orifice (Video 1, available online at www. giejournal. org). The aft-
balloon was inflated, and the DEIP was left in place, after which a radial echoendoscope
(Olympus, Center Valley, Pa, USA) was passed through a slit cut into the sheath of the DEIP,
and advanced into the cecum. Radial EUS demonstrated a hypoechoic lesion arising from …
