1/ Our new study at IBD Journal linking Isolated Anastomotic Ulcer (IAU) to long-term recurrence post-operatively and microbiome shifts. @MichielBak @poliverasendra @TurpinWilliams @HaimLeiboIBD @guthealthmd @SinaiHealth @AnthonydeBuck @mantaj_brar academic.oup.com/ibdjournal/adv…
1/ 📝 “Developing IBD Counsellors in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: Bridging Gaps in Patient Care” In many low- and middle-income countries, patients with IBD face delayed diagnoses, fragmented care, limited specialist access, and overwhelming stigma.
Read the #GUTOnline paper by Bourgonje @BourgonjeArno et al on "Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis exhibit prediagnostic antibody signatures with shared and divergent changes towards disease onset" via bit.ly/44PM8yP @KalkaIris @jingyuan_fu @WeersmaLab #IBD
A bombshell metaanalysis just landed in @AGA_CGH : Advanced therpies work better in colonic #Crohn vs. Ileal dis 😱 aTNFs/aIL23-aIL12/23 were all more effective in the colon, aIntegrin same efficacy in both(?), and JAKi were ONLY EFFECTIVE IN COLON.... cghjournal.org/article/S1542-…
I believe the key difference is the duration of the disease prior to the diagnosis and prior to commencing advanced therapies. Colonic IBD is likely to be diagnosed earlier compared to ileal Crohn’s disease because of the symptom of blood in the stools
N of 1, but no question appendectomy (for appendicitis) post IBD diagnosis changed the immediate next few years for the better. Longer term, I don’t know, and some recent studies are not reassuring unfortunately. Suspect appendectomy = a reduction in some antigenic load for some…

🔑 Looking for effective next steps after first-line IBS therapies fall short? The ATLANTIS trial provides compelling evidence for amitriptyline as your second-line approach. This underutilised option significantly improves bowel habit satisfaction and reduces symptom…
Same reason I can't have others research for me. Researching is how I learn and I can only write well when I really understand what I'm explaining.
Yes. Writing is not a second thing that happens after thinking. The act of writing is an act of thinking. Writing *is* thinking. Students, academics, and anyone else who outsources their writing to LLMs will find their screens full of words and their minds emptied of thought.
May be unpopular view : I do have concerns that when most of the world can’t afford to even reach clinical & biomarker remission ( and actually live and work ) , we are pushing the boat with advanced therapies one after the other and ‘striding’ to higher targets with limited…

What are "omics"? A good schematic cell.com/neuron/fulltex… could add epigenomics, immunomics, microbiomics, glycomics, exposomics, etc
(1/2) ‼️Excited to share our latest publication in @CGHJournal! After 5 years of dedicated teamwork, we've developed and validated the Atlantic Pouchitis Index (API)—a breakthrough tool for objective assessment of pouchitis. Big milestone! #IBD #Gastroenterology @WesternU
