@TakuKobayashiM1 Important article. Is rate of relapse similar for patient in remission for many years? Discontinuation of infliximab in patients with ulcerative colitis in remission (HAYABUSA): a multicentre, open-labe… https://t.co/PE6UVmlvGa

If you are concerned at least a little bit about the anti-Asian hate going on now, you may get heartened by the courage and perseverance Asian Immigrants muster to make it in America, as portrayed in #Minari.

Inspiring #whitecoat ceremony this wk for one of most diverse @UCSFMedicine classes. Activism critical in #COVID19 times. Fave line from @UCSF version:

"I will strive to change laws..contrary to my profession’s ethics & will work towards a fair distribution of health resources"

[Maria T. Abreu @ibddocmaria]

He was a force in the field yet humble and soft spoken. @IOIBD1 members and the #ibd community will miss him

[Flavio @Flaviostein]

I’m extremely sad with the lost of Paul Rutgeerts. Undoubtedly one of the greatest name in the IBD field from all times. Beside that a very kind man. We used to talk a lot to each other every time we met. I’ll miss him. The IBD world will miss him. Everybody will.

#SoMe is imp in today’s world, but as physicians its essential to use #SoMe responsibily. See our article in this issue of #AmJGastro. Special thanks to @chris_surawicz.

Our pilot study showed ACEI/ARB is associated with lower risk of GI involvement in COVID-19 patients with hypertension. Needs to be validated. @IBD_FloMD @MRegueiroMD @RashidLui @GianlucaPellino @DrXiaoGIPath. https://t.co/u6ipC8l2Kb

@FezaRemziMD @StephenCYang @NYUDental @UCSF Thank you for your kind words. It is indeed a joy to see our children mature to become fine adults.

[Suk-Kyun Yang @SKYangMD]

Congrats to my son, Dr. @StephenCYang. A virtual graduation @NYUDental in no way does him justice, but I am proud of him for persevering through these difficult times. Best of luck to Stephen as he begins medical school and residency training in Maxillofacial Surgery at @UCSF !

We lost 84 New Yorkers to COVID-19 yesterday. By any normal standard this is a hideous number. But we are thankful this number has fallen below 100 for the first time since late March.

[Suk-Kyun Yang @SKYangMD]

We just wanted to assess the natural history of asymptomatic ileal ulcerations and our patients agreed. @guthealthmd

[Dr Mark Silverberg @guthealthmd]

Agree. So why were 93% of people repeating a colonoscopy in 1 year? @SKYangMD great paper!

[Suk-Kyun Yang @SKYangMD]

A simple but key message.

[Miguel Regueiro @MRegueiroMD]

My simple “take homes” for #IBD pts. Stay on meds(including biologics) to stay in remission. If flaring, start meds to induce remission. Try to avoid high dose steroids (limit time >20 mg pred). If you get Coronavirus we tailor meds. IBD does not increase risk of getting #COVID19

Today we are releasing additional preliminary results from our statewide antibody survey.

The survey shows that 12.3% of the state population is positive for COVID-19 antibodies, from an expanded sample size of 15,000.

(Results are weighted.)

[Archive: Governor Andrew Cuomo @NYGovCuomo]

NYC overall: 19.9% positive for antibodies.

Bronx: 27.6%
Brooklyn: 19.2%
Manhattan: 17.3%
Queens: 18.4%
Staten Island: 19.2%

(Results are weighted.)

[Suk-Kyun Yang @SKYangMD]

Still a long way to go.

[W Ray Kim @WRayKimMD]

Today, the entire country of Korea had only 4 new COVID cases - all picked up at the airport in travelers coming into the country - suggesting no community spread. I hope this continues 🤞- a glimmer of hope for the rest of the world. I wish we had their PPE though. #COVID19
