Devastating news today that #IBD legend Prof Paul Rutgeerts passed away. He was a giant and leader and the nicest gentleman in the truest sense. We owe him thanks for so much in our field including our approaches to post-op #Crohns, TDM, much more. RIP researchgate.net/scientific-con…







Agree. So why were 93% of people repeating a colonoscopy in 1 year? @SKYangMD great paper!

My simple “take homes” for #IBD pts. Stay on meds(including biologics) to stay in remission. If flaring, start meds to induce remission. Try to avoid high dose steroids (limit time >20 mg pred). If you get Coronavirus we tailor meds. IBD does not increase risk of getting #COVID19

Today, the entire country of Korea had only 4 new COVID cases - all picked up at the airport in travelers coming into the country - suggesting no community spread. I hope this continues 🤞- a glimmer of hope for the rest of the world. I wish we had their PPE though. #COVID19
