Happy Thanksgiving – November Articles Posted Here

Happy Thanksgiving!

Over the holiday weekend, be sure to make some time for the exciting articles we’ll be discussing at GI Journal Club on Tuesday, November 29. We’ll be covering advanced therapeutics/imaging as well as biliary/pancreatic for our topic areas. Our hot topic will cover an article about the role of the microbiome in functional bowel disorders.

The Advanced Therapeutics / Imaging paper by Puli et al will come from Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (PMID 22047699) and will be presented by George Philips:

Tilak Shah will be presenting the biliary/pancreatic paper from Gastrointestinal Endoscopy by Milovic et al (PMID: 21981815):

Alison Jazwinski will be presenting the Hot Topic, found in Gastroenterology by Saulnier et al (PMID: 21741921):

If we have additional time, we’ll discuss an article from earlier this year found in the American Journal of Gastroenterology by Parakh et al (PMID: 21212750).
