Congrats to Mayssan Muftah, MD, MPH Brigham and Women's GI & D Bernstein Duke GI on invited commentary Digestive Diseases and Sciences on EoE Evolution based on UNC Gastroenterology data: 🚩We must improve diagnostic delay 🚩Low threshold for esoph biopsies 🚩Biopsy at food impaction 🚩Phenotyping EoE link.springer.com/epdf/10.1007/s…

Can the allergy profile of #EoE pts predict treatment response & help therapy selection? Our study in Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology found that #PPI non-response is associated w/: ➕food allergens testing ⬆️environmental allergens ⭐️Allergic phenotype👉⬇️PPI response 🔗 doi.org/10.1111/jgh.16…

Proud mentor shoutout🗣️ Congratulations to our resident Davis Hartnett Brigham and Women's Medicine Residents for receiving the ACG Medical Resident Clinical Research Award to study gene expressions of EoE phenotypes Thank you ACG for supporting clinical research for trainees & our work!

What #PPI dosing best induces remission in #EoE? Our new study in AJG - The American Journal of Gastroenterology: 💊Twice daily moderate (omeprazole 20mg BID) > once daily standard (20mg QD) or moderate (40mg QD) dose 💊Twice daily moderate (20mg BID) = twice daily high (40mg BID) dose 📕doi.org/10.14309/ajg.0…

Our study in AJG - The American Journal of Gastroenterology📕 found that EGJ opening measured by #FLIP & #manometry are more often discordant in patients w/ ⬆️#BMI 👉⬇️EGJ opening on FLIP but normal manometry is more common w/ ⬆️BMI 🔗doi.org/10.14309/ajg.0…

Truly an honor to receive this award! Extremely thankful to The American Foregut Society for their support and thankful for the best career and research mentor I could have ever asked for Walter Chan, MD, MPH!

Our study in Gastroenterology on esophageal protein signatures of PPI-responsive (R) & non-responsive (NR) #EoE: ⭐️Protein profiles of PPI-R & NR EoE are similar, but distinct from normal or erosive esophagitis ⭐️Post-PPI, protein profiles of PPI-R-EoE resemble non-EoE controls

What is the most cost-effective 1st-line treatment for eosinophilic esophagitis #EoE?
