@DouglasAdlerMD @NEndoscopy Great fluoroscopic view of those stones 🪨

Advanced cirrhosis, cholecystitis, poor surgical candidate. Axios shortage! Seven French by 15 cm double pigtail stent placed into the gallbladder. #gitwitter #surgery ⁦@NEndoscopy⁩

@TomTielleman @UTSWGI @BilalMohammadMD @JennPhanMD @ShawnLShah @MN_GIMD @DrBloodandGuts @docamitgs @ASGEendoscopy @AmCollegeGastro Band away the GAVE! Reminded me of a nice study by @IrisWangMD et al at @MayoClinicGIHep on natural history of GAVE! Presented during last ACG meeting

Patient with recurrent anemia in the setting of severe GAVE requiring 9 hospitalizations with transfusions over 6 months. Underwent EGD with 14 bands placed. Hgb now stable without readmission for 2 months 🙌 Key Points: 🔑 Banding works incredibly well for GAVE 🔑 Don't be shy with the number of bands. Many bands are needed to treat the broad affected area

Greed & arrogance can be more lethal than chronic disease. A physician chasing fame & connections feels wrong for a reason.. For years, Attia’s advice has relied more on bias & promises than on evidence. Unfortunately can still mislead pts at a large scale nytimes.com/2026/02/07/opi…

A few weeks ago we started Grand Round Series dedicated for GI trainees in programs with limited resources in #Syria. Lectures’ve been interactive & presented in Arabic and English. Link’s 👇 to share with interested resident/fellow #education @UCLAGIHep youtube.com/playlist?list=…

@ChahalPrabhleen @UTHealthGastro @MatheusFrancoMD Such a great integration for real time learning!

#LiveEndoscopy isn’t just for global meetings! At @UTHealthGastro we’re integrating live endoscopy into our core teaching , transmitting cases internally to fellows/faculty to elevate real-time learning! @MatheusFrancoMD taught step by step , live decision making GPOEM.

@TrieuMD @UNCGastro @VMKGIMD @AhmadBazarbashi @BalissMichelle @ArvindRenga @VivianOrtizMD @EndoTx @KellyHathornMD @LGlovesSicily @MLongMD @JPGenereMD Congratulations Judy! So happy for you and for UNC to have you among their leaders

I am excited to announce that I am “coming home” to @UNCGastro as Director of Therapeutic Endoscopy Research! Thank you, WashU and my partners, for the past 2.5 years!

This is Mariano Barbacid, a Spanish cancer researcher who recently made the news after finding a cure for an aggressive form of pancreatic cancer in mice. His lab developed a new triple therapy regimen targeting the KRAS cancer pathway, implicated in 90% of pancreatic cancers. The combination of daraxonsib, a RAS(ON) inhibitor, afatinib (EGFR/HER2 inhibitor) and SD36 (a selective STAT3 PROTAC) led to complete elimination of tumour cells over a 200 day study period, bringing much needed hope to this often devastating condition.

@drkeithsiau @BritSocGastro Sounds like a lot of fun and learning

Heading up to Leeds to Endobridge, a new @BritSocGastro initiative combining state of the art lectures, live endoscopy and hands-on Endovillage training. Honoured to be part of the plenary session and to speak on GI bleeding and colonoscopy training 🙏

@AasmaShaukatMD Ugh so sorry to hear. What a loss! This has to stop.

One of my former research assistants was killed by ICE in Minneapolis today😢 Alex was the kindest, sweetest human and a ICU nurse with a bright future ahead of him May his soul rest in peace and this senseless carnage stop💔

If you want AMAZING advanced endoscopy training, apply to our 4th Year Advanced Endoscopy Fellowship through the ASGE AEF Match! Details below! #gitwitter #ercp #EUS #thirdspace #aef Please retweet!

@DannyIssaMD @MN_GIMD @ibdgijami @NeenaSAbrahamMD @GutGirlMD @DVinsard @JoyWChang @AasmaShaukatMD @BMoshiree @kehutchins77 @ibdtweets Agree @DannyIssaMD control over our schedule is becoming harder as MDs - but healthy work boundaries (w the system and w our type A selves 😄) are necessary to avoid work taking over our nights and weekends ! Don’t miss any of the precious time you can have with your 👶🏻😍
