Long day at work explaining new diagnosis of IBD to patient, after hours research meeting, and coordinating multidisciplinary patient care team, only to have my @lyft cancel my ride twice without explanation or apology. Can we boycott them @DCharabaty @joshsteinbergMD

Seems like medication is not cutting it

Given 2 prior resections, would prefer to avoid losing more bowel so TTS dilation with fluro if needed would be first step. Consider aiming for higher IFX trough levels vs switch to Ustekinumab as well

PIANO Registry @AGA_Gastro! 13 yrs,1490 pregnant women w/ IBD. Bottom line: biologic, thiopurine, combination therapy in pregnancy does not increase adverse outcomes, but disease activity does. Don't stop biologics in pregnancy! @Bob_Wachter @EricTopol

Excellent paper on surgical management of Crohn’s disease! Operate through Anti TNF, avoid steroids if possible, appropriate surveillance!

@GauravsyalMD @DCharabaty @MondayNightIBD @IBDCedarsSinai Very good case! Given the 6TG is sub therapeutic and it’s unclear if he ever trialed 5ASA, would love to discontinue thiopurine given risk of HSTCL. After stopping would start high dose 5ASA and monitor FC every 3 months @IbdClub @gutdoc18 @gastrodocmattar

@LauraRaffalsMD @DCharabaty @MondayNightIBD Great case! Given prepouch inflammation, I’m more concerned with Crohn’s. Given amount of IS agree with avoiding anti-TNF and would prefer novel mechanism like anti IL12/23 rather and Vedo.
