SUMMARY:Elliot S. Yu\, MD
DESCRIPTION:Pitfalls in Clinical Gastroenterology\nAbstract  \nGastroenterology is a multi-organ medical specialty pertaining to the treatment of the entire alimentary tract. I would like to introduce biomedical concepts and current treatment and diagnostic modalities of common gastrointestinal disorders and in turn discuss the current limitations of technological and clinical limitations to spark collaboration and ideas for improvement with engineering colleagues who may be interested. Upper endoscopy bleeding\, gastroesophageal reflux disease\, and gastroparesis are areas of the GI foregut where we are still lacking certain tools for early diagnosis\, treatment and understanding of the pathophysiology of these disorders.  \nAs proceduralists\, gastroenterologists practice both medicine and therapeutic endoscopy in our practice. I hope to brainstorm concepts and feasibilities of current wavelength imaging\, proximity sensors and temporal spatial markers to be able to explore these different modalities further and bridge our current gap of knowledge. \nBiography \nDr. Yu earned his medical degree from the State University of New York Jacobs School of Medicine in Buffalo with research honors. He completed a residency in internal medicine and fellowship in Gastroenterology and Hepatology at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. \nAs a physician deeply invested in advancing esophageal care\, Dr. Yu completed an additional year of fellowship research in Neurogastroenterology and Motility at the Medical College of Wisconsin with his clinical training. His work\, including publications and abstracts on the rehabilitative potential of striated esophageal muscles and gastroesophageal reflux disease\, reflects his commitment to advancing care for patients with esophageal conditions through evidence-based practices. Dr. Yu is also interested in investigating novel endoscopic and manometric techniques for diagnosis of esophageal motility disorders and assessment of physiological reflux barriers in the esophagus. He has a clinical focus in dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) and is adept at performing and interpreting esophageal manometry. He also has interest in eosinophilic esophagitis and mechanisms to evaluate and prevent gastroesophageal reflux disease. \n  \nREGISTER HERE FOR ZOOM \n  \nClick here to register for in-person attendance (lunch will be served) \n
