Is ceftriaxone still appropriate for all “community” SBP? What if the patient was hospitalized in the prior 90 days? Check out the very nice work by Eric Ardolino BID Hospitalists finding significant rates of ceftriaxone resistant SBP! dropbox.com/s/017x1gv2mmrs…

Hepatic encephalopathy is a devastating complication of cirrhosis but can we predict which patients will develop it? Elliot Tapper (Elliot Tapper) lays out the cutting edge and ways to improve knowledge in this important arena HEPATOLOGY Journal AASLD aasldpubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…

Colonoscopy can be life saving, and detects/prevents colon cancer. But it is remarkably operator dependent. In this meta-analysis of tandem colonoscopy studies in Gastroenterology, the adenoma miss rate (AMR) was 26%, with a shockingly high advanced AMR of 9% gastrojournal.org/article/S0016-…

Great work by BIDMC_GI fellows led by Sarah Flier today. Long-standing Boston tradition of “Intercity GI conference” with Brigham and Women's GI, MassGeneral Medicine, Boston Medical Center, Tufts Medical Center, Lahey Hospital. #neverstoplearning

Great novel work being done by Dr Longhi BIDMC_GI to better understand mechanisms of Autoimmune Hepatitis! No doubt more exciting research to come from her lab in the future.

What is #cirrhosis? This is for patients & anyone who has ever asked: ❓ What is it ❓ Where did it come from? ❓Why do I feel this way? ❓ Am I dying? A #livertwitter #tweetorial

Currently, no established pharmacotherapy is proven to halt PSC disease progression. In August, our physicians conducted an analysis of agents in development, several of which hold strong therapeutic potential. Read on: bit.ly/2q0cqic #PSCAware Michael Curry Alan Bonder

Great paper about post-transplant outcomes in autoimmune hepatitis. AIH patients get listed with higher MELD’s and have lower re-transplant rates. dropbox.com/s/c7fv9okn4p6t…

On Sunday at 9am, Zachary Fricker, MD, will present “An Improved Model to Predict Cirrhosis Surgical Risk" in an oral session. He & colleagues have identified pre-operative characteristics of patients with cirrhosis that can improve prediction of post-op mortality #LiverMtg2019

Warmest Congratulations to Z. Gordon Jiang who received his Gilead Research Scholars in Liver Disease award tonight and was honored alongside his mentor Gyongyi Szabo! The award will further his groundbreaking work examining liver toxicity of novel lipid vesicles in alcoholic hepatitis

No​t all fatty liver is NASH: In an era of increasing NAFLD, is diagnostic anchoring delaying the diagnosis of other liver diseases? Come to the #AASLD #LiverMTG19 Poster 1440 on Sunday Nov 10th from 12:30-1:30 to discuss with Lauren Yang, MD Vilas Patwardhan #BIDMCGI

Your peers may be your most influential teachers! Congrats to Alex Goldowsky and Eric Ardolino on their study of near peer teaching of Hepatology on the Medicine wards #LiverMTG19 #MedEd

You will see a lot of patients with fatty liver...but some of them will have AIH!! Well done Lauren Yang, MD Lauren Dunn Gilbert, MD Ghideon Ezaz Alan Bonder Jennifer Lee and rest of BIDMC Autoimmune Liver team for pointing this out

Dr. Jaspreet Suri sharing great work w/Vilas Patwardhan Alan Bonder Christopher Danford on UNOS waiting list mortality in the Autoimmune Hepatitis population. This risk assessment shows those with #AIH & #PBC are more likely to be removed from the waiting list than #PSC patients #LiverMtg19
