TRANSCRIPT:

I'm Dr. Miguel Regueiro, and I have the honor of chairing the AIBD Regionals on July 23rd in Chicago, Illinois. I'm the chair of gastroenterology and the chair of the Digestive Disease and Surgery Institute at Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio.

At AIBD Regional  July 23rd in Chicago, we have an-all star lineup of speakers. We have Dr. Russell Cohen, Dr. Emmanuelle Bellaguarda, Dr. Parambir Dulai, Dr. Scott Strong, Dr. David Rubin—names that all of you are familiar with, and we're going to focus on some really nice topics on new therapies and small molecules, anti-integrin therapies, anti-IL-12/23, some of the newer therapies that have just come out, but also we'll talk about the acute severe ulcerative colitis patient, something we all still struggle with, and hear from Dr. Charabaty on how to treat that.

We’ll hear from our surgeon, Dr. Strong, on managing fistula. And also Dr. Rubin's going to focus on treat to target today, where we are in 2022 and going into 2023. Dr. Bellaguarda's going to have a great talk on elderly and IBD and Dr. Cohen's going to discuss some of the important aspects of infections in IBD in our treatments. And then toward the end, Dr. Dulai is going to focus on extraintestinal manifestations.

So you get a sense, these are broad-ranging topics that you can take to your own practices. So we hope you join us in Chicago on July 23rd for AIBD Regionals.
