Youngest world chess champion in history, Gukesh wins at the age of 18. The 18th classical chess champion and the 2nd from India. Gukesh bringing the championship back home to India after Anand lost it to Magnus Carlsen in 2013. Such a historic moment for this young man.

At TSGE, my favorite toy of all: Neptune Pathfinder CR (Clot removal), which is an adapter that coverts the existing Pathfinder overtube into an unmatched suction hose. Disclosure: I helped developed this (very proud!)
The CR adapter is about the cost of a clip!

⭐️ Amazing lecture about obscure GI bleeding 🩸
by Dr. @JLeightonMD :

🔹 Don't forget second-look endoscopy

⚡️In setting of recurrent bleeding:
↩️Repeat capsule
🔄Deep Enteroscopy from opposite route for total enteroscopy
📸CTE or CTA
💊Medical therapy, ie oral iron, iron infusions, somatostatin, thalidomide, stop anticoagulants if possible

‼️Don't forget about a Meckel's scan
❓Consider a trial of oral or intravenous iron replacement
⁉️If no response to conservative management, then repeat endoscopic and imaging evaluation, preferably on anticoagulation
🩸For more serious bleeding, consider provocative angiography
⚡️Always consider Heyde's syndrome and if present, AVR
🚨Surgery is considered a last resort

Guidance on diet in IBD in @AGA_Gastro @AmerGastroAssn by my friend @JHashashMD 👇🏾

4 points

▶️Mediterranean diet = winner

⏺️we have such little data on diet and IBD

⏺️we have even less data on adherence to diet!

✅What’s your advice to patients?

[Governor Abbott Press Office @GovAbbottPress]

Texas made history yesterday.

We hosted the FIRST EVER T20 Cricket World Cup in the United States—right at Grand Prairie Stadium.

It was great to meet the members of @USACricket before they faced off against Canada.

Way to make Texas proud!

How (just about) everything in the human body is intertwined continues to fascinate me regardless of how much I learn. This paper takes a deep dive into ARDS and how it adversely affects the gut microbiome. 🎩 tip to the authors.
