@nha_duongDO @PerelmansPearls @RizwanJafriDO @sachdevmd @TarunRustaGI_MD @stevenbollipo @Sunny_PatelMD @ASGEendoscopy @AZCDH_AEF @drkeithsiau Would try a little epi + OTSC if can get adequate contact and stable positioning. And have a 10 Fr gold probe backup.

Excited and proud of @SiddiqueA_MD. Please check her work as a fellow lead at the Liver Fellow Network. She will be posting interesting Liver pathology cases every month. #lfn #aasld #GIpath #liverpath #brownpath

[Adam L. Booth, MD @ALBoothMD]

I’m excited to serve as the #liverpath faculty lead with two rising fellows @SiddiqueA_MD @BrownPathology & @d_escobar_mdphd @NU_Pathology! Watch for more stellar pathology pearls this year! #hepatology

Important to ask your NAFLD/NASH patients on their definition of using the stairs.

After promises that they have been using stairs for months, and on further probing: he has been using stairs to go down and taking the elevators up.

Made my day:
Seeing a 85 YO woman for Ileus. Asked if I could evaluate her abdomen.
Her: What are you? A belly man?!
Me: Yes, yes thats a much better title!

Call me the #bellyman

@DrPatrickChen @drkeithsiau @DrReddyGI @GI_Pearls @PerelmansPearls @ginorthshore @SagrawalgiMd My take: Would not be a bad idea to do a fibroscan if sober for atleast 6 months, (and without as ascites). If the synthetic function including platelets are above 150 with reassuring fibroscan then there may be limited role of surveillance/screening.

A prolonged endoscopic necrosectomy.

Other than snare/net/basket and lavaging, are there other methods to safely evacuate the cyst?

@DrSanket_Patel @JenniferOnwoch1 Easily implementable and significant results. I would love to see it be a part of our pre-procedure protocol.

Will need to keep a silk tape at hand, in addition to the covid goggles and lube that I regularly carry.

Me: Who is the president?
Patient (previously in withdrawal): I dont know.

Unsure if that qualifies as disorientation or are they more than fully aware of the current national situation.

Keeping a procedure log during fellowship can seem cumbersome - but it is important! Read on in the next TNG to find out more about how @AmerGastroAssn procedure logs can make documentation easier! @uconnhealth

@SanchezLunaMD @ScopingSundays @BilalMohammadMD @TomTielleman @krishnanendo @AlysonMJohnson @RobertoSimonsMD @vaibhav_manu Cook device locks better in the sense that there is an audible sound of click. Both are good though

This is my favorite type of ESD! Complex Barretts C7M8 with ++ previous Tx (EMR/RFA) that was definitively resected with a circumferential ESD. Path demonstrated multifocal LGD & HGD with buried Barretts centrally. Pt was dc'd home 24 hrs post procedure. https://t.co/2Fy1o1Zy1t

@SanchezLunaMD @ShyamTMD @tberzin @AustinChiangMD @BilalMohammadMD @vaibhav_manu @SunilAminMD @RodriguezParra_ @peyoungmd @japariciot2 @SighPichamol Two piece for doing a full day of rad, one piece for a quick in-out case.

[Osama Siddique @OSiddiqueMD]

@RodriguezParra_ @DeMadaria This reminds me of a case we recently did. Jabbing/knifing the stone out of the CBD.

@PerelmansPearls @ynhhealth @uconnhealth Go save some esophagus!

[Osama Siddique @OSiddiqueMD]

@EndoscopyOthman @GIE_Journal We were certainly not expecting such a major difference on the repeat exam. PPI down-titration though remains a clinical challenge. Should it be a part of semi-annual or annual "health-maintainance checklist" visit to the GI office? What do you think?

Had a PC-SEMS which was lost to followup and came with obstruction. Mangled stent on trying forcep/balloon to remove. Left another FC-SEMS within old stent to come back in a few months. Any other ideas that we could have tried?
