@eamonnquigleymd @IBDimmunology @HMethodistMD Congratulations on contributing to this milestone.

[David C Whitcomb MD PhD @DavidCWhitcomb]

@annagloyn @NIDDKgov @iidp_at_coh Congratulations. This will be very important. Work for precision medicine.

[David C Whitcomb MD PhD @DavidCWhitcomb]

@MayoClinic It is very useful if (a) you have enough suspicion to order a CT, and (b) your radiologist are not that good.

@annagloyn @GenomeMedicine @StanfordPedEndo A very important finding for Precision Medicine. Congratulations on another outstanding paper!

[Anna Gloyn @annagloyn]

Out this week in @GenomeMedicine - our work following up on how genetic variation in the PAM gene alters risk for #T2D & response to treatment. Carriers of PAM T2D-risk alleles are #GLP1resistant Download the paper for free here 👉 https://t.co/XDYyFi8i2a @StanfordPedEndo @StanfordMed

What’s your go-to tip for reading pancreatic CTs?
Reply below! 📷
🚨 Essential reading for residents, fellows, internists, gastroenterologists & radiologists! "CT Images of the Pancreas for Beginners" – a practical guide showing how expert abdominal imagers systematically evaluate common pancreatic abnormalities.
👍👍Perfect for building confidence in interpreting pancreatic CTs!
