Last week, clinical teams from across the UK recruiting to the PROMISE trial came together at King's to share insights and learnings. They were joined by patient representatives who shared their stories and experiences of being part of the trial. Speaking of the day, Chief Investigator of the trial @DebbieShawcros1 said: "It was an absolute privilege to bring together colleagues and patients from our 20 clinical sites across the UK to share our experiences and knowledge of being part of the PROMISE Trial. It was particularly humbling to hear the personal experiences of our patients enrolled on the trial and to hear the benefits of participating in clinical research tackling the complications of liver disease." bit.ly/4mbb7Dx

@DebbieShawcros1 @vinayjaha @HepCommJournal Thank you @DebbieShawcros1 . Really excited & grateful to be working on this ☺️

@vinayjaha @HepCommJournal This gives me the opportunity to give a shout out to @vtkronsten who is addressing this head on with the TRANSCEND study which is exploring if #FMT vs placebo will improve depression, anxiety & AUD in patients with cirrhosis & has just been awarded a MRC Fellowship to study this

Depression and anxiety affect nearly 1️⃣ of 2️⃣ patients with liver disease, yet often go unaddressed... 😫 Our latest editorial in @HepCommJournal calls on hepatologists to screen 🔎 and support the emotional burden in #cirrhosis, with pragmatic tools from recent studies 🛠️ Grateful to @ebtapper & @SarahKhan9894 for this collab! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40658794/ @VCU_Liver @MichiganLiver @MayoClinicGIHep @AASLDtweets @AASLDFoundation @EASLedu @AmerGastroAssn @AmCollegeGastro #MedTwitter #LiverTwitter

How to differentiate depression & anxiety from encephalopathy? How can we safely treat them when the patient doesn't want to go to a mental health specialist? This review on depression & anxiety in cirrhosis is very useful. t.ly/F49bD
