Happy Spring!
Of course, because we have journal club scheduled for Tuesday, March 25th at 5PM, there is a prediction for snow that day. We’re forging ahead, and three fellows have selected articles to present at Journal Club.
Matt Kappus will present the recent esophageal article from the Annals of Internal Medicine: Repeated Upper Endoscopy in the Medicare Population by Heiko Pohl, Doug Robertson and Gilbert Welch. Vol 160: 154-160. 2014. There is a related editorial by Nick Shaheen on “Rightsizing” Use of Upper Endoscopy. Vol 160: 205-206. These papers are not yet indexed in PubMed, but can be found at the Annals website.
Helen Fasanya-Uptagraft will present a paper on colon cancer prevention from Gastroenterology by Ben Q et al. : Dietary Fiber Intake Reduces Risk for Colorectal Adenoma: A Meta-Analysis. Vol 146: 689-699. 2014. PMID 24216326.

We are looking forward to seeing you on the 25th.
Note: The article on use of EGD mentions the AGA’s Choosing Wisely Campaign.
