@UTMBInternalMed Thanks to the UTMB Internal Medicine department for inviting me to give a lecture at noon conference. I look forward to presenting more topics in the future!
2-Large Bore IVs is the basic first step in managing GI bleeds. Even though this is well known, very few studies have ever looked at it. We also highlight that @AmerGastroAssn ,@ASGEendoscopy & @AmCollegeGastro guidelines on GI bleed should consider specifically mentioning it.
3 years ago we presented our preliminary data @DDWMeeting highlting that the basic first step in management of GI bleeds: “2 large bore IVs”, is often missed. RT this post from @AmerGastroAssn today when our full study is published @DDS_Journal . Thanks to mentor @TKapetanos
Lifestyle modifications should be first line in approaching gastroesophageal reflux disease and can often lead to discontinuation of pharmacologic therapy. @utmbhealth@UTMBInternalMed@utmbnews#UTMBGI
I always tell the med students and residents rotating on the #GI service that staging #IBD is a must especially on the first visit. It helps understand the disease better and helps other providers if patient transfers care. #MedEd#GIpearls -any thoughts ? @DCharabaty@KapuriaMd
Great review by @JElmunzer in @AGA_CGH on management of Pancreatic Fluid Collections. Remember to always use correct terminology when dealing with Pancreatic Fluid Collections: APFC, ANC, Pseuodcyst, WON

Association Between Oral Anticoagulant PPI Cotherapy and UGl Bleeding https://t.co/Wz4IxoC6RO
@TrieuMd@BilalMohammadMD Great article looking at upper GI bleeding in the Medicare population. Use of PPI cotherapy in patients on anticoagulation should be considered, especially in those with other risk factors such as NSAID or corticosteroid use, older age and previous history of GI bleed.
Thermal injury from hot snare can lead to ulceration and delayed bleeding. Cold snare vs. hot snare/ 0 & 0.8% rate of delayed bleeding. Small rate but considering the quantity of cases can lead to a lot of ED visits. @GoForGou#gipath#Gastroenterology
Thank you to PGY6 GI fellow, Dr. Eric Gou @GoForGou, for presenting to our residents on specimen retrieval in endoscopy! It was enlightening to learn more about the nuances regarding specimen acquisition before the microscope. #gipath#Gastroenterology
