Our work on TSP-9 risk stratification in Barrett’s esophagus has been published! We found that prior cancer was not associated with higher TSP-9 progression risk.
Many thanks to Dr.Samo, for his continued guidance and support! journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…

Our poster at @DDWMeeting 2026:
No difference in Acid Exposure Time between American Foregut Society (AFS) EGJ grade 3 & 4. If replicated in larger studies, this calls for further simplification of the AFS EGJ classification which may increase adoption in clinical practice.

It is frustrating practicing medicine with insurance companies in control. Check this out from @AmCollegeGastro, mind boggling. I hope this will lead to a change, but I am not optimistic.

Urge US senators to support Lindsey Graham's Save the Kurds Act - Sign the Petition! c.org/dr7jNh2bVL via @Change

Kurdish women from around the world have come together in a powerful act of solidarity, braiding their hair as a symbol of protest. Their gesture responds to shocking footage of a Damascus-affiliated militant proudly boasting about severing the braid of a Kurdish female fighter.

Was on Al-Jazeera English yesterday speaking about the developments in northeast Syria/Rojava.

Was zur Stunde in #Syrien passiert wird Konsequenzen haben. Weltweit. Einst wurden diese mutigen kurdischen Frauen gefeiert, weil sie die IS Mörderbanden besiegt haben und damit die ganze Welt ein Stück weit sicherer gemacht haben.
Jetzt werden von marodierenden Jihadisten, die aus aller Welt nach Syrien gekommen sind mit Unterstützung und Billigung der Regierungsarmee die Statuen derjenigen zerstört, die einst weltweit für ihren Mut gefeiert wurden.
Der Hass auf die Frauenkörper ist die Klammer der Islamisten und Jihadisten. Wo sind eigentlich die Feministinnen? So viel zur Rhetorik von „Frieden“ und „Stabilität“, Worte, die der s.g. „Interimspräsident“ Al-Sharaa gerne vor den Kameras der Welt in den Mund nimmt.
Unsere naive Bundesregierung hat noch nicht im Ansatz verstanden, was in #Syrien gerade vor sich geht. Wir hätten uns alle ein sicheres #Syrien gewünscht, aber das hier ist das Gegenteil. Es ist eine Schande, dass Al Jolani empfangen wird auf dem roten Teppich vom #Bundeskanzler und dem Bundespräsidenten.

🔍 Diffuse esophageal FDG uptake on PET/CT is non-specific
🍄 Is it Esophageal candidiasis, malignancy or ICI-esophagitis?
⚠️ PET/CT alone is insufficient, endoscopy + biopsy are essential

The question we should ask is: why does it have to be this way? US medical students graduating with such a debt. There must be an alternative, better way.
Our “At The Focal Point” image made it to the cover of the @GIE_Journal. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Happy New Year’s. @DouglasAdlerMD @GiClinicalFocus @KU_GIHep @AjayBansal_KUMC @MessallamMD @Shahryarkhan163
