Thank you Marianne for your service and legacy you can be proud of. I am humbled and excited to take on this new role.
Congratulations to A/Prof Jakob Begun who has been named the new Director of Gastroenterology. He will be stepping into this role, as previous Director, Dr Marianne Mortimore, departs after 14 years at Mater Hospital Brisbane. https://t.co/KkyMNK7T0d

Great presentation by #RichardFernandes on ASUC study with ANZIBDC cohort. 5-ASAs, biologics and steroids on discharge seem to be protective against 1 year colectomy regardless of corticosteroid response.

🧵A mini thread on the big news today in microbiome therapeutics... To date, no live biotherapeutic products have been approved to go on the market as drugs. But the FDA's Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee held a meeting today... a LONG meeting.

The original @EmmaHalmos 🙌🙌 Educating the masses on diet for prevention in IBD, diets to treat IBD, the EEN paradox, Mediterranean diet and defining ultraprocessed foods. The takeaway - so many - but refer to an IBD dietitian. Find one at https://t.co/S0gD1xJoXg

Brilliant work delineating a new possible genetic risk allele for #ibd. Elegant work with otud3 as a gene predicting for severe ibd. Future target? #ibd #agw2022 @JakobBegunMD

A promising result which combined with other non-invasive markers to improve accuracy may reduce the burden of procedures on patients and healthcare systems.
The non-invasive multi-marker Endoscopic Healing Index (EHI) is showing good potential to be used as part of a strategy to monitor for post-operative #crohnsdisease recurrence. https://t.co/HC8D8Vt73E Looking forward to seeing this develop.

The model studying recurrent #crohnsdisease after ileal resection is an excellent one to try to understand de novo CD. Come chat with Cristian Hernandez-Rocha at his poster today describing the @ibdgc ongoing prospective study. >300 patients now enrolled. #DDW2022

Intestinal ultrasound is getting noticed at DDW! Lovely study by Emma Calabrese showing that ultrasound improvement at 3 months after biologic initiation can predict transmural healing at 12 months. #DDW2022 #GIUS @BowelUltrasound
