Obesity has recently surfaced as an important topic in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases, such as Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis, but historically, these patients have been underweight. This led to the phase III pivotal trials for the use of upadacitinib in patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease to see how their baseline BMI would influence the efficacy of the drug. To hear the details and findings of this study, join Dr. Andres Yarur, Associate Professor of Medicine at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California. He also presented this study at Digestive Disease Week 2024.

When it comes to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), it’s important to keep in mind that there are certain diagnoses clinicians can make to specifically treat the underlying problem that’s causing the symptoms that suggest IBS. To learn more about these complex mimickers, join Dr. Peter Buch as he speaks with Dr. Michael Camilleri, Professor of Medicine at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science.

There’s been an increase in the elderly irritable bowel disease (IBD) population, and it’s estimated that a third of our overall IBD population will soon be over the age of 60. When managing and diagnosing these patients, there’s different factors to consider, like polypharmacy, biological versus chronological age, how fit these patients are versus how frail they are, and more. To take a deep dive into how IBD is affecting elderly patients, join Dr. Peter Buch as he speaks with Dr. David Hudesman, Professor of Medicine and Co-director of NYU Langone’s Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center.

Guest: Francis Farraye, MD
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have an increased risk of developing infections, and some may be preventable with a vaccine. Approximately 70 percent of patients with ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease will be on immunosuppressive therapy at some point during their treatment course, so it’s best to try to address vaccines before they’re immunosuppressed. So to walk us through some strategies for increasing the number of patients with gastrointestinal diseases who get vaccinated, Dr. Peter Buch is joined by Dr. Farraye, Co-Author of the article, titled “How to Implement a Successful Vaccination Program in Outpatient Gastroenterology Practices: A Focus on Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Chronic Liver Disease,” which appeared in Gastroenterology in 2023 and Professor of Medicine at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida, where he also directs the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center.

Guest: Alexander Ford, MD
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is diagnosed using the ROME 4 criteria, and fortunately, most patients who meet the criteria for IBS clinically are unlikely to have another underlying explanation for their symptoms. However, a common misconception is that IBS is a diagnosis of exclusion, so to learn more about this and other controversies surrounding IBS, join Dr. Peter Buch as he speaks with Dr. Alexander Ford, Professor of Gastroenterology and Honorary Consultant of Gastroenterology at Leeds Institute of Medical Research at St. James University of Leeds.

Extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) that occur in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are almost any manifestation that occur outside the gastrointestinal tract. And patients with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis are at an increased risk for developing these manifestations. So to review EIMs in IBD and discuss the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, Dr. Peter Buch is joined by Dr. Katherine Falloon, Gastroenterologist at the Cleveland Clinic.

In patients with chronic live disease, consuming alcohol could contribute to progressive liver damage and a variety of cancers. So alcohol consumption should not be a regular occurrence for those who have underlying chronic liver disease. And approximately four percent of patients with alcohol use disorder are referred at early stages for intervention compared to other liver diseases. To learn more, join Dr. Peter Buch to hear insights from Dr. Paul Kwo, Professor of Medicine and the Director of Hepatology at Stanford University.

Symptoms of portal vein thrombosis (PVT) are primarily driven by the extent of the obstruction that the PVT is causing, and some of it’s also driven by how quickly the thrombosis has developed. There’s also some cases where symptoms can be nonspecific. So the role of a multidisciplinary team in helping to address this condition is very important because every case is unique. This collaboration can help provide the best care to our patients case by case. Dive in with Dr. Peter Buch and Dr. Shilpa Junna, Transplant Hepatologist and Assistant Professor at the Cleveland Clinic, to learn more.
