Several stakeholders have advocated for minimising placebo controlled RCTs. We analysed the harms [Adverse Events,[AEs]] associated with placebo in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) RCTs. @alex_ford12399 @Bealoquebea @Jonathansegal85 @JonnyBlackwell @DrCJBlack @GastroRes_Leeds

A rare vomiting condition associated with chronic cannabis use is becoming more common at ER's in the U.S. The condition, cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS), is marked by severe and cyclical bouts of uncontrollable nausea, abdominal pain & vomiting https://t.co/2fHQ30N8xZ

I’m delighted to have been a small cog in this massively important work led by Dr Amirhosein Kefayat & @ShahidaDin1 I’m also incredibly chuffed it’s been published in my favourite journal @FrontGastro_BMJ 😉 😀

What effect do 5-ASA and anti-TNF drugs have on the risk of developing colorectal cancer in #IBD? We'll be discussing this (and more) from a patient perspective in an upcoming podcast episode. https://t.co/uA3CHSM586

A very important paper which adds to very active controversies in the #IBD family:a) thiopurines loosing relevance;b)5-ASA is has very likely a chemoprotective role, not only in #UC;c)antiTNF effective and less inflammation means less oncogenesis.Tx decisions have many sides 👇👇

Delighted to have been asked to write this article by @PhilSmithIsBack for @FrontGastro_BMJ Hopefully useful for residents and some familiar themes for career academics. Reflecting on a career as a clinical academic in gastroenterology
