We join colleagues across @WesternU in shock and profound sadness in response to the racist, Islamophobic attack on a London family. This was an unspeakable and senseless act of hatred against members of the Muslim community.

Over the past 20 years, there has been a reduction in surgical resection rates both in ulcerative colitis and crohns disease. This may be earlier detection or better treatment. @vipuljairath pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33127595/

Honored and happy to deliver @Western_Gastro @WesternU Grand Rounds this morning on "Alcohol-associated hepatitis: New insights in Diagnosis and Treatment". Amazing group of colleagues! @mayurbrahmania
