@lw_peter Congrats guys!!

I have been surrounded with the best, most caring and fun to hang out with group of people here - I will miss you all!! #queensgi

This Canadian study shows why "right on red" is so dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists: "At red light turns, driver attention was heavily skewed toward leftward traffic" -- i.e., not on the people walking/biking to the right. doi.org/10.1016/j.trip…

@alamyyc @FascinAsianFF I loved her insights, especially her thoughts in Chinatown as a '15 minute' city. Thanks for moderating!

@mmkwoo @FascinAsianFF It was so good right!?!??

Karen Cho, director of Big Fight in Little Chinatown: the struggles of Chinatowns are allied with those of other marginalized communities @FascinAsianFF #AsianHeritageMonth

Dr. Khan: focal elevated pressures within the panesophageal pressure band in Ach2 may represent a distinct subtype (?more circular muscle spasticity) ➔ personalized tx #DDW2023 @DDWMeeting

@SabraGibbens @DDWMeeting Post-chole sx typically has an element of pain but these pts often have bile acid diarrhea!

@mmkwoo @DDWMeeting Is this the same as post-cholecystectomy syndrome?

Dr. Camilleri: some take home points on the dx and tx of bile acid diarrhea @DDWMeeting #DDW2023

Dr. Lazarescu: manometric parameters do not predict dysphagia post anti-reflux surgery ➔ IEM (and maybe AC) can go for fundoplication #DDW2023 @DDWMeeting #esophagus

@DrDaveRod @DDWMeeting Usually empirically treat! I have ordered sehcat in select situations where I have a high suspicion for BAD but there is poor response to bile acid sequestrants

@mmkwoo @DDWMeeting Thanks for sharing! Do you get the sehcat test or just try emperic treatment?

@DrDaveRod Nice! Well done!!

Super happy to share our National study, which represents the most up-to-date data on the prevalence and distribution of disorders of gut brain interaction (I.e. ibs, dyspepsia) in Canada #IBS #GITwitter doi.org/10.1111/nmo.14…

@sconglymd @CMAJ @CalDomMed @UCalgaryMed @DalhousieU @RomeFoundation @JohannahRuddy Especially topical now, with Ozempic getting a shoutout at the Oscars!

Short snapper in @CMAJ on #gastroparesis from @mmkwoo, Matt Miles and Yasmin Nasser. @CalDomMed @UCalgaryMed @DalhousieU Key-take away point; think about drugs as etiology; semaglutide can be common culprit. #GITwitter @RomeFoundation @JohannahRuddy cmaj.ca/content/195/10…

So the AB Govt basically just used the $90 Kananaskis Pass all of us hikers/skiers/bikers/etc pay each year to access the area to fund $8M in ATV Trail upgrades, despite ATV users BEING EXEMPT from having to buy the pass. Tell us more about how you’re “protecting our parks” #WTF

This is one of the first mainstream articles about #InducedDemand aka #LawOfCongestion that made a splash on social media & really penetrated public perception. Still one of the best articles. At the time, I saw it as a turning point. From 2014 in @WIRED. wired.com/2014/06/wuwt-t…

@Matticusssss Thanks for the tip!

“We used to think cars only killed people if they crashed into them, but now we know motor traffic threatens our health in many ways.” A New Zealand study has shown how cars take lives beyond just traffic accidents. Zainab Hussain reports #BMJClimate bmj.com/content/379/bm…

Dr. Guy Boeckxstaens: multiple novel molecular targets (including mast cells) in the treatment of IBS- the future is bright! #UEGWeek #UEGW2022
