Tzivinikos C.: Structure of aerodigestive program and management of common aerodigestive GI Conditions

Todays guest is Prof. Dr. Christos Tsivinikos of the Al Jalila Children’s Specialty Hospital, Dubai (United Arab Emirates), by way of Liverpool, UK, where he worked long-term. Over the past several years he and his colleagues have built up in Dubai not just a comprehensive paediatric gastroenterology and hepatology service but also an aerodigestive-diseases service, with collaboration from a variety of specialists in coördinated treatment of the complex problems that both underlie and arise from disorders of the organs and tissues of the concerned regions, and he is a powerful advocate for this approach to multisystem disease. For some reason it has not been adopted in Europe so widely as it might be ; Professor Tsivinikos believes and hopes that in this regard progress can be made. At the May, 2023, annual meeting of ESPGHAN, held in Vienna, he discussed the advantages and drawbacks of the aerodigestive-disease paradigm, into which he delves today. If you are not yet convinced that to contribute in aerodigestive-disease clinical work will be of benefit to your patients and their families, perhaps his comments will be of particular interest. Please note : This is the last of three podcasts related to annual- meeting events, a week apart, with a return to Journal Club after another week. Mark your calendars for 15 June Dr Andreas Jenke — Journal Club again – after which the fortnightly rhythm customary to us resumes.
