Hosts: Dr Shane, Dr Suzie, Dr Linden News Items: Rivers function in our world, intermittent fasting, 1st guest: Dakota Rhys-Jones is a PhD student and Accredited Practicing Dietitian at Monash University's Department of Gastroenterology, School of Translational Medicine, The Alfred Centre. Dakota's PhD focuses on the role of diet in inflammatory bowel disease, specifically patients with ulcerative colitis who then go onto getting their large intestine removed and the formation of an ileoanal pouch. Patients with a pouch have the last part of their small intestine sewn to their anus so that they can defecate normally, and although the diseased colon is removed, problems can arise, such as inflammation of the pouch. We know that diet plays a role in IBD, but knowledge around diet and pouches is limited, so patients and clinicians are left at a bit of a loss when discussing diet. 2nd guest: Dr Natalia Sampaio from the Hudson Institute on auto inflammatory and rare inherited diseases. Thank you and farewell to Dr Linden! Program page: Einstein-A-Go-Go Facebook page: Einstein-A-Go-Go X: Einstein-A-Go-Go
