Special issue on prevention of #IBD here - lots of parallels to Type I Diabetes. Can we stop #IBD before it starts? The @CrohnsColitisFn is going to try!

Finally, someone has solved a real problem with AI! No more having to take a paper in the format for a journal that rejected you, and reformat it for a new journal. Well done!! https://t.co/J5HekY1Pc0

FDA update - Upa OK 2nd line in UC after another 'approved systemic therapy', does not have to be TNFi. Excludes 5-ASA, budesonide, but includes prednisone, Aza? Stepping up faster, rather than the slow step up game - for severely ill patients...as our Catalan friends would say

FYI @EliLillyandCo @JNJInnovation @abbvie @TakedaPharma @pfizer @GileadSciences #IBD Time to ask for 2 half-lives for washouts of prior therapies in upcoming clinical trials.
The good people at @USFDA CDER (Center for Drug Evaluation and Research) are open to a washout of two half-lives for #IBD trials. *Assuming that any prior MoA drug will not directly block your therapy (e.g., prior anti-integrins and you are infusing T cells as therapy)

This is a substantial change, and helps accomodate situations like CHF and demyelinating disorders...
#Rinvoq prescribing information has been updated to include that upadacitinib can be used without requiring anti-TNF failure if anti-TNF use is clinically inadvisable! #AIBDREGIONALS @IBD_FloMD @MRegueiroMD @KatieFalloonMD #IBD

Every once in a while I need to fiddle with long category labels in #rstats ggplot2. It always helps me to refer back to this excellent blog post by #AndrewHeiss

A multibillion dollar AI algorithm analyzing Press Ganey scores to flag healthcare workers at risk for burnout
Big move for AI in hospital feedback: Qualtrics will buy Press Ganey for $6.75B to push its AI deeper into care. Press Ganey serves 41,000 providers. Blending that data with Qualtrics’ AI could flag wait times and burnout faster. The tools could turn comments into quick fixes.

Great to see this work recognized. Folks with FoxP3 mutations (IPEX syndrome) who lack functioning Treg cells develop autoimmune diseases like type 1 diabetes at a young age. Stimulating native Tregs /infusing exogenous Tregs may be viable strategies for autoimmune diseases. #IBD

More studies of microplastics from disposable medical plastics (syringes, infusion sets) here https://t.co/OGsMSAjjV3 Unclear medical effect of microplastics, and there may be no direct harm, but no one wants this to happen.
On one hand, not that surprising (they are plastic bags and plastic tubing), but still... Ugh. Publication here https://t.co/m6Z5it1QNY includes some MP particles even in medications in glass (they are everywhere), but more in plastic IV bags. #IBD

A new study has revealed that IV bags — a staple of modern medicine — could be sending microplastics directly into your bloodstream during hospital infusions. #Crohns #Colitis #IBD #IBS #Crohnsfit #Remicade #infusion #therapy #Crohnsnomore #Bpartofthesolution

I nearly didn't write this package because other Census packages already existed. You might have an idea you're sitting on because you don't think your work measures up. If it solves your problem, chances are it solves someone else's problems too. Ship it anyway.
tidycensus, my #rstats package for getting @uscensusbureau data along with simple feature geometry, is now on CRAN: https://t.co/vZERwEGVOz

When #IBD drugs get assigned overly-long generic names, I like to give them short, manageable names. Ontunisertib, I dub thee "Ontu". Godspeed in treating intestinal fibrosis. https://t.co/xnGN3KX0vp
