Getting me things with @BilalMohammadMD “GI Bleeding:
New Tools”

⭐️ Visualization is key (prokinetics, clot suctioning devices, power irrigators & change in patient position ⬇️)

Fellows think about clearing the BIG 4:
⭐️ GE jxn / Fundus / Antrum / Bulb

⭐️ Data for OTSC clips - does not need to be rescue therapy & can be primary modality

Keynote speaker @ibddocmaria @AmerGastroAssn Madam President speaking on “Impact of Microbiome in GI Diseases”

Best example of Microbial Therapeutics — C Diff - FMT / Rebyota / Vowst

Commercial stool testing companies - not FDA approved & results unreliable and variable

We didn’t mean to flood @DDWMeeting but when your faculty–fellow team is this unstoppable, the research just keeps coming.

If you see smoke in the hallways, it’s from the 🔥 they’re bringing.

Catch their work—and maybe catch us sprinting between sessions like it’s the GI Olympics. #GIproud #TeamCIE #TeamGenGI @AdventHealthCFL #DDW2025 @ASGEendoscopy
