Common question: How fast do we need to give steroids for alcoholic hepatitis? 1⃣Not fast. No door-to-pred time. See the STOPAH protocol below. Make sure it is safe. 2⃣No need. Few will benefit, many will be harmed. Choose carefully. #livertwitter

Vedolizumab+ Upadacitinib vs Vedolizumab alone in mod-severe UC Even with the small sample size (n=61) one gets a sense seeing the data of the importance of the results #ECCO2025

In the UK, fewer than 1 in 10 people survive a cardiac arrest. That’s not good enough, and it’s why we’re working towards a day where everyone has the skills to save a life. With widespread CPR knowledge, we can change these odds and save more lives.

Calling all IBD specialists! Please retweet. Please answer this poll without looking up the UCEIS score. What score does a completely normal colonoscopy attract?

If you haven’t used the Bougie Cap for upper GI stricture dilatation before, I would encourage you to try it out. It is easy and effective as the video below shows. County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust Ovesco Endoscopy

We all ❤️ endoscopy right 🤔 ✅ ?! Maybe not, this important work by Keith Siau and colleagues showed that 23.7% of consultants and 31.5% of clinical endoscopists are thinking of leaving endoscopy within 5 years ⚠️ 🤯 😱 ! Retirement 👵 and emigration 🛫 are common reasons.
