If you are concerned at least a little bit about the anti-Asian hate going on now, you may get heartened by the courage and perseverance Asian Immigrants muster to make it in America, as portrayed in #Minari. #StopAsianHate nytimes.com/2021/02/28/movie… – at Woodside, CA

‘Minari’ wins best foreign-language film, but not without controversy. (Published 2021)

The movie competed in the category even though it was filmed in the United States and its director, Lee Isaac Chung, is American.

Inspiring #whitecoat ceremony this wk for one of most diverse @UCSFMedicine classes. Activism critical in #COVID19 times. Fave line from @UCSF version: "I will strive to change laws..contrary to my profession’s ethics & will work towards a fair distribution of health resources"

He was a force in the field yet humble and soft spoken. @IOIBD1 members and the #ibd community will miss him

Devastating news today that #IBD legend Prof Paul Rutgeerts passed away. He was a giant and leader and the nicest gentleman in the truest sense. We owe him thanks for so much in our field including our approaches to post-op #Crohns, TDM, much more. RIP researchgate.net/scientific-…

I’m extremely sad with the lost of Paul Rutgeerts. Undoubtedly one of the greatest name in the IBD field from all times. Beside that a very kind man. We used to talk a lot to each other every time we met. I’ll miss him. The IBD world will miss him. Everybody will.

Congrats to my son, Dr. @StephenCYang. A virtual graduation @NYUDental in no way does him justice, but I am proud of him for persevering through these difficult times. Best of luck to Stephen as he begins medical school and residency training in Maxillofacial Surgery at @UCSF !

We lost 84 New Yorkers to COVID-19 yesterday. By any normal standard this is a hideous number. But we are thankful this number has fallen below 100 for the first time since late March.

We just wanted to assess the natural history of asymptomatic ileal ulcerations and our patients agreed. @guthealthmd

Agree. So why were 93% of people repeating a colonoscopy in 1 year? @SKYangMD great paper!

A simple but key message.
Miguel Regueiro@MRegueiroMD1 May 2020
My simple “take homes” for #IBD pts. Stay on meds(including biologics) to stay in remission. If flaring, start meds to induce remission. Try to avoid high dose steroids (limit time >20 mg pred). If you get Coronavirus we tailor meds. IBD does not increase risk of getting #COVID19

Today we are releasing additional preliminary results from our statewide antibody survey. The survey shows that 12.3% of the state population is positive for COVID-19 antibodies, from an expanded sample size of 15,000. (Results are weighted.)

Today, the entire country of Korea had only 4 new COVID cases - all picked up at the airport in travelers coming into the country - suggesting no community spread. I hope this continues 🤞- a glimmer of hope for the rest of the world. I wish we had their PPE though. #COVID19

Very nice study!

Inpatient use of ACE inhibitors and ARBs associated with lower mortality in pts with HTN hospitalized with #COVID19. Very nice study. No mention of GI symptoms in these patients (remember ACE2 is expressed in intestines too) but that would be interesting. ahajournals.org/doi/abs/10.1…
