YouTube Videos as a Source of Misinformation on Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis #CureIPF zpr.io/gnkeK Patient-directed YouTube videos on IPF frequently provide incomplete and inaccurate information. Videos supporting the use of non-recommended therapies have higher

This report is a secondary analysis of the PANTHER-IPF clinical trial, which found that those with short telomeres who received immunosuppressants had bad outcomes, while the harmful effect was not as strong in those with normal length telomeres. atsjournals.org/doi/abs/10.116…

Great work by Chad Newton Deji Adegunsoye, MD, PhD,etc. Shorter telom length and Muc5B SNP assoc w/ worse outcomes and survival in IPAF (diff from IPF w/Muc5B and survival).

Leukocyte telomere length and MUC5B minor allele frequency are similar for IPAF and the combined CTD-ILD group; however, the associations between these genomic markers and clinical outcomes are different for these two types of ILD ow.ly/wXem30njRkg

Getting @FuelCityTacos with your favorite former UTSW Internal Medicine Chiefs Tom Valley (wish Chad Newton was here) American Thoracic Society (ATS) #ATS2019

Our joint symposium at #BTSWinter2019 'The Silver Tsunami: Lung Disease in an Ageing Population' is on Wed 4th Dec. Featuring Dawn Bowdish Peter Barnes group Chad Newton David Gems, Corry-Anke Brandsma and James Kirkland - join us! balr.co.uk/meetings British Thoracic Society (BTS)

Our paper is in press in which we examined unique PSG parameters of sleep disturbance with blood pressure in @NHLBI #MESA cohort. We found that hypoxic burden, a novel PSG measure is assoc. with higher BP. Duty cycle assoc. with lower BP. doi.org/10.1136/thorax…

Dr. Christine García: Congratulations to the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation & all other advocacy groups for their success in increasing awareness - this conference is an amazing testimony of this success & an a predictor of future success! #PFFSummit2019 #FightPF #CurePF

The amazing Dr. Christine Garcia highlighting role of Telomeres in #pulmonaryfibrosis. The PARN variant a Telomere related gene cosegregates among families & familial kindreds have helped provide lots of insight into shorter Telomere Syndromes. #PFFSummit2019 @PFForg #CurePF

Dr. Imre Noth retracing the history of genetics & pharmacogenomics In Pulmonary Fibrosis: “The greatest thing we did for the field is stopping treating patients with Prednisone & Azathioprine”. Me: Amen! #PFFSummit #CurePF #FightPF

BTS/BALR symposium: ‘The silver tsunami: lung disease in an ageing population’ kicking off now at #BTSWinter2019 British Association for Lung Research (BALR)

Thanks Snigda, it was a lot of fun to participate in a fantastic discussion.

ICYMI: TLC (Tom/Li/Chad) and ELC with DHJ. @dhjutsw1 thanks for everything. Keep us posted on your next adventures! @DinoKazi

Go Tom Valley

Congrats Deji, well deserved!!

Important work by Deji Adegunsoye, MD, PhD, highlighting differential MMF effects stratified by telomere length in CHP

One benefit of attending lung conferences? Hanging out with your former UTSW Internal Medicine Chiefs Chad Newton #ICLAF2022 @DinoKazi @dhjutsw1 Tom Valley UT Southwestern Internal Medicine
