Love Plants Season 3 Episode 6. February, 5th, 2024, 12pm ET/7pm EET.     In this episode I am thrilled to be chatting with Dr. Aline Charabaty,MD,AGAF,FACG, Clinical Director of the Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) Center at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine at Sibley Memorial Hospital, and co-founder of Scrubs & Heels Foundation.  Join us to hear the latest on Inflammatory Bowel Disease.     Dr. Charabaty has a very extensive and covetable CV, so I’m going to try to give you a glimpse of her busy and accomplished life with this bio.   Dr. Aline Charabaty is the Clinical Director of the Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) Center at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine at Sibley Memorial Hospital, Washington DC. She completed her medical school at St Joseph University in Lebanon, and her internal medicine residency and GI fellowship at Georgetown University Hospital, where she joined the GI faculty and established and led the IBD Center for 13 years before joining the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in January 2019. She was selected as a Washingtonian Top Doctors by her peers on consecutive years.   Dr. Charabaty is a strong advocate for improved education and access to IBD care. She uses social media to promote medical education and is the founder of @MondayNightIBD, a Twitter forum that brings clinicians together to discuss the management of complex IBD cases. She received the Healio Gastroenterology Disruptive Innovator Award for this initiative during ACG 2019.   Dr Charabaty has numerous peer-reviewed publications and is an invited speaker at regional, national and international conferences. She is a strong advocate for diversity in GI, women in medicine, work-life integration and the implementation of comprehensive parental leave policies in medicine. She is the Co-Founder of Scrubs & Heels Foundation, an initiative focused on empowering women in GI with the leadership skills, networking and mentorship that lead to career growth and success.   Hope to see you all on Monday!    #guthealth #gastroenterology #inflammatoryboweldisease #IBD #IBDsymptoms #GIsymptoms #constipation #diarrhea #bloatig #gutsymptoms #plantbased #plantforward #plantdiversity #microbiome #healthygut #digestivewellness #guthealthmatters #womeninGI #womeninscience #health #healthylifestyle #loveplants #loveplantslive

Here is a bit of self-promotion. My paper which is the culmination of 3 years of my postdoc work at MGH is out now! https://lnkd.in/dUheEPGH Outside of the obvious delayed gratification this publication provides me, it highlights an unmet medical need for better detection and diagnosis of intraventricular hemorrhage (bleeding in ventricles) in premature babies.

Today is World Kidney Day. On this day, we reflect on the importance of our kidneys for our overall health. Unfortunately, approximately 2000 people per year experience kidney failure. For many of these patients, a kidney transplant is the best treatment option. The condition of kidney patients is often compromised by chronic kidney disease, comorbidities, and dialysis. However, for patients on the waiting list for a kidney transplant, it is crucial to be in the best possible physical and mental condition for the transplant.   Our colleagues from the Nursing Science unit are conducting research titled PREhabilitation of CAndidates for REnal Transplantation (PreCareTx), funded by the Dutch Kidney Foundation (Nierstichting). For this research, they cooperate with colleagues from Health Psychology, Nephrology and Revalidation. With this research, our colleagues are investigating the effect of a prehabilitation program on the overall condition of patients on the waiting list for a kidney transplant. Prehabilitation is a form of rehabilitation conducted prior to surgery. Its goal is to improve the physical condition and mental well-being of individuals who are undergoing surgery through lifestyle changes. For this study, our colleagues are comparing the effects of a prehabilitation programme with those of standard care. They developed the prehabilitation programme in consultation with kidney patients, their families, and healthcare providers, tailoring it to the needs of patients on the transplant waiting list.   You will find more details about PreCareTx in the paper below ⬇   #PreCareTx #WorldKidneyDay #Kidney #Prehabilitation #Research #Nursing #Science   Avril Haanstra, Evelyn Finnema, Adelita Ranchor, Stefan Berger, Coby Annema

📣Meet Rachel Harwood, a Paediatric Surgeon at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool. Rachel has a PhD in regenerative medicine and is overseeing a PhD funded by Bowel Research UK. 🔬Rachel is researching Hirschsprung’s disease, a rare, inherited condition affecting 170 newborn babies every year in the UK. 👶When an embryo forms, nerves in the rectum develop that allow the bowel to relax so that babies can poo. In Hirschsprung’s disease, those nerves don’t develop properly, and poo builds up in the abdomen. 🧬Find out more about Rachel, her research, and Hirschsprung's disease at https://lnkd.in/eASxnJ_D 🌐Fancy being featured on our researcher profile posts?

In our recently published case report, we delve into the intricacies of diagnostic challenges posed by a misleading X-ray in a 4-year-old child. The study highlights the remarkable yet challenging task of removing 195 magnetic beads, shedding light on the intricacies of pediatric interventions. This unique case underscores the importance of meticulous diagnostics and the complexities involved in ensuring the child's well-being, offering valuable insights for medical practitioners and researchers alike. https://lnkd.in/dmQS8Phd
