Jennifer Alejo, MD

I am thrilled and thankful to be joining the @Penn_Transplant team for Abdominal Transplant Fellowship!!! 2025 can't come soon enough! @ASTSChimera Thanks @NYUGSOM_SurgRes and @WakeSurgEd for training me up and getting me ready 💪🏻

So far, my favorite pix of @TSACO_AAST paper on a slide at #PCPACS2024 by @prmillerIII “Win or lose, nighttime transcystic laparoscopic common bile duct exploration is a win” tsaco.bmj.com/content/8/1/e0…

@Status_CKinard Congratulations! You gave an awesome presentation 👏🏼

FIRST podium presentation ✅ Day 2 of #SBASUMich2023 was a success! Nothing like fellowship and excellence, I love this conference!

🧵(1/2)Not a dry eye in the house as the AMAZING Dr. @Gifty_Kwakye_MD is installed during the State of the Art Lecture as the 1st Arthur Fleming Research Professor of Surgery! 🥹Congratulations, Dr. Kwakye!#SBASProud #SBASUMich2023 👇🏾See a snippet of her story in the next thread!

@MarissaHMcNatt @AtriumHealthWFB @NyuMed @WakeSurgEd @SocietyofBAS Thank you 🙏 I'm so fortunate to have the support from my Wake family over the last 5 years and here today!!

Great presentation by @JenLAlejo at #SBASmichigan2023 about her work on Covid vaccination in transplant patients @AtriumHealthWFB @NyuMed @WakeSurgEd @SocietyofBAS

The room is electrified this morning at #SBASUMich2023 @SocietyofBAS as a resident, I am so excited to be here!

@ABsteward @BradSpellberg I agree with @JonathanRyderMD--in the end my thoughts are treat until surgical debridement is complete, but provide adequate abx duration for cellulitis, bacteremia, or other infections. Our study showed 48h after debridement is safe! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35451883/

I learned so much tonight. Very grateful to the faculty of @WomenSurgeons @SurgJournal Reviewer Academy and to our incredible panelists for sharing their time and valuable insights on the peer review process from EICs of TOP international surgical journals. Thank you!!! 👏👏

From @Hopkins_TRC #COVID national cohort: 2 yrs tracking infections and hospitalizations in #transplant recipients. Despite ongoing high infection incidence in late #Omicron waves, hosp. rate ⬇️ 75% versus pre-BA.1/BA.1; 🫁 recipients remained ⬆️risk. jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

Enjoying a moment of serenity: the time between the end of a night shift and the beginning of M&M @NYUGSOM_SurgRes

@RShufordMD @MBosleyMD @AlanRey15072599 Congratulations 👏🏼🎉 y'all are the real real and I'm so proud to have trained with you ❤️ Your patients are lucky to have you!

Proud to have passed my written boards along with @MBosleyMD @AlanRey15072599 and Diana Jiang

Pleased to share our report of a hook effect (ie, falsely low readout in setting of high analyte concentration) with use of a common #sarscov2 binding antibody test. This is akin to the prozone effect seen in assays such as the RPR for syphilis. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ct…

Short 🧵regarding the use of 'slip' knots to keep the tissues approximated when they are under tension, so that they stay in the right position when throwing the rest of your knots. This is a very common technique, and I would say I use 'slip' knots in almost every case. (1/ )
