Visited National Taiwan University Hospital 🇹🇼 today and participated in their #IBD multidisciplinary rounds! Many thanks to Professor Shu-Chen Wei for the invitation. Great to learn about #IBD practice outside 🇺🇸@StanfordMed @Stanford_GI @StanfordDeptMed

The annual @Stanford_GI Update course in beautiful Sonoma CA last week was stellar👍👍, kudos to course directors @Keyashian and Deepti Dronamraju. Faculty got to enjoy nature 🌳and delicious food🥗 after the course! @LindaNguyenMD @TaraGhaziani @TamiDaughertyMD @StanfordDeptMed

Proud to be on GI service with this amazing group of GI fellows Kelly Hu, @RichieManikat, residents Murilo Guedes and Valerie McDonald, and visiting resident Toru Nakata. What a bright, compassionate, and fun team! @LindaNguyenMD @Stanford_GI @StanfordDeptMed @StanfordMed

Surprising?! Is calpro equivalent to IUS for determining treatment response in Crohn’s? This study discussed by @MLongMD @EdwardLoftus2 @GuildConference suggests so.

Seven (!) ustekunumab bio similar approved for IBD. @IBDMD @GuildConference

Every GI needs to understand the anatomy of the stoma and its complications. Great review from @GuildConference @mregueiroMD

Great biomarker talk from @Realcecum @GuildConference Can we use FIT testing ( plus calpro) as a noninvasive marker of mucosal healing - maybe!

Blood test for colon cancer screening test sounds fabulous but 17% miss rate for cancer 👀. However better than no screening for those who won’t do stool test or colonoscopy.

Provocative talk by @babudayyeh @GuildConference In treating obesity (60%US by 2030) need to modify disease not just treat surface problem ✅reduce total body adiposity ✅reduce hyperinsulinemia ✅ reduce gut inflammation

Are you surveying for celiac disease correctly? @AmyOxentenkoMD @GuildConference walks us through how to achieve highest diagnostic yield ✅ patient eating gluten ✅ at least 6 biopsies ✅ single biopsy at a time ✅ 2 in bulb, 4 more distally

Interesting slide from @AmyOxentenkoMD Celiac vs IBD. Clearly patients want options. Goes to show that pure diet based therapy has quality of life issues as well. @GuildConference

Throwing down the gauntlet @babudayyeh @GuildConference ✅ no Vit K or FFP for acute bleed ✅ most pts don’t need bridging for elective procedures (check with cardiology/hematology)

The summary:@babudayyeh @GuildConference

Evan Dellon @GuildConference gives a rundown of therapy for EOE: ✅PPI ✅Topical steroids ✅ Diet elimination (start with dairy) ✅ Biologics

Dr @EdwardLoftus2 @GuildConference describes differences in PSC-IBD patients based on @MayoClinic experience.

Excellent talk by @MRegueiroMD @GuildConference on management of Crohn’s skin tags. Calamine and monkeybutt goid products to try

Always a pleasure 😃 seeing friends and mentors @GuildConference and learning great science in gastroenterology, liver, and IBD! @TaraGhaziani @SonuIrene @UmaMahadevanIBD @norahterrault @AmyOxentenkoMD

A fantastic summary 📓 about the newer and current IL- 12/13 agents in IBD by the master educator, Dr. David Rubin @IBDMD @GuildConference. @UmaMahadevanIBD

The @Stanford_GI adult and pediatric IBD group at the Crohn’s and Colitis Congress in San Francisco, exploring great science among great company! @StanfordPedsGI @DrRosenIBD @StreettMd @StanfordDeptMed @CrohnsColitisFn @AmerGastroAssn

👏👏to @AmCollegeGastro Research committee (half pictured) for a successful grant review meeting!Thankful for @DrLiverPatty ‘s leadership as committee chair! @sarahrichman1 @AfrinKamalMD @SighPichamol @Chris_Velez_MD @burkegastrodoc @DBadurdeen @sarahrichman1 @ScottGabbardMD
