Tariq Ahmad speaks to us at our Australia New Zealand IBd Consortium meeting about investigator initiated IBD research in UK. Would love to have the level of government investment into II research in Australia as they do in UK! #ANZIBDC

Thrilled that our recent article “Microbial Manipulation as a therapy for Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis” has received enough downloads to be in the top 10% of papers published. Damjana Bogatic Rob Bryant Alimentary Pharmacology & Therapeutics Journal onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

My colleagues at LiverHealthPOD just released their latest podcast - this one on PSC. It is an excellent overview of the topic for those who want to know more about the disease from experienced clinicians. podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/liv…

People with #PSC can experience an infection of the bile ducts (called “PSC flare” or “cholangitis attack”). If you're a PSC patient who's had an attack or flare consider filling in this survey, helping us improve care and develop treatments. buff.ly/3Ut2DeQ @PSCPartners

What a wonderful IBD and Liver team I have at Royal Adelaide Hospital. They threw me a surprise baby shower today in my final week before maternity leave. 🥰

Another therapy in our armamentarium for pouchitis. Having said that, only a small prospective open label study, but nevertheless promising. EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF USTEKINUMAB FOR CHRONIC POUCHITIS: Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology cghjournal.org/article/S1542-…

Register for this interesting update with my esteemed colleague, Emma Culver , discussing the latest from EASL, direct from Milan! I’ll be attending EASL virtually this year (heavily pregnant!) and will miss seeing everyone in person. Aussies - 1pm GMT should be late evening

Bajaj presents DBRCT of FMT (oral/enema/combined/placebo) in HE. FMT causes dramatic reduction in HE and liver-related outcomes, but not hospitalisation or death. Does rifaximin influence engraftment though? Maybe - lower engraftment rates than anticipated...

Terry Cheuk-Fung Yip from Hong Kong presents at #EASLCongress that changes in LSM reflect disease progression & regression in patients with MASLD and are predictive of liver related events. Whilst only 5% progressed, 30% change (at median 15 months) seems to be the magic number.

Prof David Thomas inspiring at the National Press Club today - clinical trials, even at early Phase I level - can offer evidence based hope for those diagnosed with cancer.
