Turning 45? 🎂 This isn’t just a birthday, it’s your sign to get screened. Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide, but it’s also one of the most preventable. Screening can detect it early, or even prevent it before it starts. Don’t wait. Stay up to date with your screening. 💙 عمرك ٤٥؟ 🎂 هذا تذكير إلك إنك تبدأ الفحص. سرطان القولون من أكثر السرطانات انتشارًا.. لكن يمكن الوقاية منه والفحص المبكر ينقذ حياة! لا تأجل. افحص اليوم💙 #CRCawareness #ScreeningSavesLives #ColorectalCancer #EarlyDetection #MedTwitter #Gastroenterology #raisingawareness

@KerbageAnthony presenting data showing no difference in colonoscopic depth of insertion between male & female endoscopists although female endoscopists did more procedures on females- ?gender based differences in technique to account for variation in patient factors. #ACG2025

Great chatting with @GastroEndoNews about CRC surveillance in older adults with Lynch syndrome, and why continued screening still matters after 65. Looking forward to sharing further data on those over 75 at @AmCollegeGastro in Phoenix! Read more ⬇️

Couldn’t be prouder!!! ❤️❤️❤️ @CCF_IMCHIEFS

Our group was the first to define POSED (Post-Obesity Surgery Esophageal Dysfunction), a newly recognized motility disorder that can develop in a subset of patients after metabolic bariatric surgery. In our latest @NGMJournal Neurogastroenterology & Motility study, we uncover a potential mechanism: 🔹 Low proximal gastric distensibility and elevated post-swallow intragastric pressure increase esophageal afterload 🔹 This leads to secondary peristalsis abnormalities, eventually progressing to primary motor dysfunction (resembling achalasia) 🔹 70% had abnormal FLIP findings despite normal or borderline HRM 📌 Clinical vigilance is key—patients with new-onset dysphagia after bariatric surgery should be evaluated for POSED, even when standard manometry appears normal. Collaborative work with @KarthikRavi @OMGhanemMD @MayoClinicGIHep colleagues. #POSED #EsophagealMotility #BariatricSurgery #Dysphagia #FLIP #GIInnovation #Neurogastroenterology

Happy to share our study on the quality of 📷photodocumentation of large colorectal polyps! Despite guideline recommendations, high-quality photodocumentation is often lacking, with fewer than 60% of cases meeting quality criteria. 📖 Full article: shorturl.at/Gsifn

Incredibly proud of @SouaidTarek for the release of his first book! How Doctors Grow isn’t just for doctors, it’s for anyone who believes in learning through human connection. Thoughtful, honest, and deeply moving. Highly recommend grabbing a copy ⬇️: a.co/d/1CUQlgN

Had a great time speaking with @HCPLiveNews about our study on language-based disparities in CRC screening. We found that non-English primary language was linked to increased risk of early repeat colonoscopy, highlighting the need for more equitable, language-accessible care.

🚨 Just out in @CirculationEP: Our U.S. national study shows rising stroke mortality in AFib/Flutter. Women with AFib are more likely to die from stroke than men. Eye-opening findings. Grateful to @omwazni, our team, @CleClinicHVTI & @CCF_IMCHIEFS.

🚀 Innovation week is off to a strong start at @CCF_IMCHIEFS @ClevelandClinic Thank you @BrandonCornuke for breaking down your Value Proposition Matrix and helping us apply it to healthcare! Today, we were challenged as internal medicine residents to think like innovators: 1- Who is our first #customer in the healthcare system? 2- Are we solving a burning clinical #problem? 3- Is our #solution unique and truly changes the game? 4- Do we have the right #team and assets to deliver? Huge thanks to the incredible leadership of @AsadARauf @MDAlamer93 #MedEd #HealthcareInnovation #IMresidency

Had a blast at #DDW2025☀️! Grateful for the @AmerGastroAssn for recognizing our work with an AGA abstract award, but even more for the chance to catch up with old friends, make new ones, and learn so much. Incredibly thankful for my mentors @burkegastrodoc @AnthonyLemboMD !

Grateful for an incredible week at #DDW2025 in San Diego. It was a great opportunity to present our work, learn from inspiring colleagues, and reconnect with friends and mentors. Looking forward to carrying this momentum forward! @CCF_IMCHIEFS @CCF_GIFellows @ClevelandClinic
