Baxdrostat is now FDA approved as the first Aldosterone synthase inh for adults with HTN

It’s obviously very expensive compared to spironolactone but time will tell whether it is more effective and well tolerated in decomp cirrhosis

When a Vermont woman battling terminal cancer longed for one last taste of her favorite meal, tempura broccoli from Ekiben in Baltimore, her son in law reached out just for the recipe.

Instead, chef Steve Chu drove 6 hours with his team, set up fryers outside her home, and cooked it fresh for her in the parking lot.

The Difficult Colonoscopy is humbling to all endoscopists.

My Pearls :

#1 Female Patients
If hysterectomy or diverticulitis, use pedi colonoscope + water immersion. (Angulated colon)

If chronic idiopathic constipation or visceral obese, use adult colonoscope (redundant colon)

@LiverFellow @AdamMikMD Can they make this into a hands on demo for fellows with the various kits at AASLD in Denver? 🙏 😎

@BlaneyMD @JeromeAdamsMD 💯💯 We need to eat closer to the sun ☀️ and more colorfully 🌈 !! Last time your food saw the sun should be recently (fresh berries vs. the corn that became that biscuit).. really eye opening to see how our patients eat.. the 24 hour diet / activity recall at every visit 💪 🏆

Having a blast at this Liver POCUS course @DDWMeeting with Dr Gigi Liu (JHH) coaching us through! @KarinaSato15 ⚡️📣

“I do by colonoscopy.” — Dr. @AasmaShaukatMD making the case for why colonoscopy still outperforms FIT, Cologuard, and other non-invasive screening options.

Looks like we gastroenterologists/proceduralists still have a strong future 😊

[Mariam Naveed, MD @MN_GIMD]

But what do we actually do about it?

Some of the most practical takeaways I heard in @KanwalFasiha talk:

🔹 Define your niche- deliberately

Your niche is not just your research topic.

If people hear your name, what do they associate you with?

🔹 Find a sponsor, not just a mentor

Mentors guide you. They’re the ocean - broad, steady, essential.

Sponsors move you. Your sponsor is your whale (see pic, it’ll make sense)

🔹 Be strategic with your yes and your no. Not every opportunity is an opportunity.

3 actions:
• Define your niche in one sentence
• Identify one potential sponsor this month
• Audit your commitments and start saying no with intention

Careers don’t just evolve. They’re designed.

And if we want different outcomes, we have to be intentional about how we build them. @DDWMeeting #DDW2026

A patient with “recurrent mouth ulcers” walks into your OPD

Most get symptomatic treatment
Few get evaluated properly

And almost everyone assumes
“Mouth ulcers = vitamin deficiency”

Reality?
Recurrent aphthous stomatitis is primarily a T-cell mediated disease

Let’s decode what we’re actually missing 👇
