  13. Why does it matter to me? Motility: Why you will want to be a neurogastroenterologist! Carlo Di Lorenzo, M.D. Jay Pasricha, Gastroenterology, 2011, 140:1126-8 Reasons people dislike motility Why you should give motility and FGID some love… • It is not about pus and blood ( is it • The most important job of the gut is to the testing or the disease?) “move” its contents from mouth to anus • Too invasive • Looks are not everything • “These squiggles do not mean • Motility problems are common anything” (no controls, not predictive, • Lots of “new gadgets” too many artifacts…) • CPT codes have been established • Not trained • Your market value increases (11/13 of last job advertisements mentioned “motility”) • Booooooooring! • Aren’t we all little squiggles on the face of the earth? New gadgets Gastrointest Endosc 2011;73:949-54

  14. “Motility disorders” are not just about Motility disorder demonstrated in: disordered motility Psychosocial • Gastroesophageal reflux factors • Achalasia • Toddler’s diarrhea • Functional abdominal pain Brain – Gut Interactions • Functional dyspepsia • Functional constipation Altered motility / Gut – immune Visceral secretion interactions hypersensitivity • Intestinal pseudo-obstruction • Hirschsprung’s disease • Other g.i. neuromuscular disorders Dogma: Motility disorders rarely have pain as the predominant symptom Test! Fact: If you become a “motility expert”, you will be very popular among your more organically oriented “friends”, who will be more than happy to send to you all their pain predominant patients to rule out a motility disorder Emesis Interrupts the ENS Postprandial Program and Initiates Power-Propulsion Program The Migrating Motor Complex (MMC) MMC phase-III activity front Manometric recording 0 5 10 15 20 25 Time ports on catheter (min) Courtesy of Hans Jurgen Ehrlein, DVM B12 B13

  15. What do you want to be? “Motilist” vs “functionalist”  Does pathophysiology matter?  Lab vs clinical work  Do you enjoy psychology?  Love to talk to “challenging” families?  Prefer to give drugs or being a placebo? P14 Great Role Models! You will be never out of a job! Michael Camilleri Douglas Drossman Michael Gershon Prevalence of Functional Abdominal Pain in Children Prevalence Sweden  IBS, constipation, diarrhea, dyspepsia, 13% Norway 6% and GERS: Finland Holland 8% 3%  All are common United  62% report symptoms Germany Kingdom 2.5% 12% USA  If you are symptom-free, you are in the 13% Italy 10% minority! Thompson WG et al. Dig Dis Sci 2002; 47:225 Chitkara DK et al. Am J Gastroenterol 2005; 100:1868

  18. Pediatric GI and Nutrition hierarchy • Training – General pediatrics • Pediatric GI and Nutrition – IBD Kevin Sztam, MD, MPH – Hepatology – Dysmotility Children’s – Transplant Hospital Boston Nutrition – Allergic disease – Short bowel – Malabsorption syndromes Nutritional Care Why people don’t like it • Everyone eats – who cares • Often secondary consideration • Uncommon cause of medical emergency • Few admissions for purely nutritional • Wide range of normal physiology diagnoses accommodating varied ranges of intake • GI disease often drives nutritional status • Measuring nutrient status can be challenging • Another team can manage it (dietitians, • We know everything already – just give nutritionists, ICU) enough • Other teams do manage it Why people like it Why people like it • Even if intake is adequate, may require optimization • Everyone eats – wide applicability of results • Opportunity to utilize knowledge of basic • Critical to many fields: GI, metabolism, nutrient metabolism surgery, endocrinology, infectious disease, • We really don’t know everything public health, international health, general pediatrics, adolescent medicine, cardiology, • Comfortable with wide ranges of normal psychiatry, neurology, molecular biology, ICU physiology

  19. Training varies in Pediatric GI, So much more Nutrition and Hepatology • Learning related to primary diagnosis • Few subspecialists are exposed to this • Presence of trained dietitians (ie, nutritionists) knowledge base – Variety nutritional deficiencies and excess • Goal in fellowship – Primary and secondary nutritional diagnoses – Understand and treat most common nutritional – Treatment approaches problems • This basic training can lead you to leadership – Know when to refer roles in different disciplines • Wide range of capability among providers Roles for Pediatric GI trained Roles for Pediatric GI trained physicians - Clinical physicians - Clinical • Depends on size and location of clinical program • Parenteral nutrition service • Role is usually team leader – Outpatient (Home parenteral nutrition service) • Coordination • FTT • Outpatient clinic – nutrition specific – Outpatient FTT clinic (multidisciplinary) – Inpatient service – large center – Co-morbid conditions requiring long term enteral – Integrated intestinal failure and rehabilitation nutrition • Congenital cardiac disease programs • Neurologic disease • Metabolic disease • Cystic fibrosis Roles for Pediatric GI trained Roles for Pediatric GI trained physicians - Clinical physicians - Metabolism • Children with non-GI primary diagnoses with • Nutritional assessment major nutritional effects – Indirect calorimetry – Congenital heart disease, spastic – Body composition testing (dexa scans, bioelectric quadriplegia, metabolic disease, impedance analysis, air displacement cystic fibrosis plethysmography) • Metabolic disease • Individual/small GI practice with nutrition niche – Standard of care, alternative therapy, differences in approach

  31. Why you should listen to this talk How to give a great talk • Listening is hard work! Carlo Di Lorenzo, M.D. • Simple things can make your next talk better • An expert teacher is more successful than an expert who teaches • Everyone benefits from a good talk - Audience is happier - You get invited back Effective talk Cardinal rules • Communicate your ideas and evidence • Tell them what you are going to tell them • Persuade your audience that they are true • Tell them • Be interesting and entertaining • Tell them what you told them • In summary, tell a story and make it a good one, build an arc • And do not worry: people do not learn from talks! Do not apologize Show enthusiasm • “I did not have time to prepare this • Have a good attitude and smile talk properly” • Your audience is more likely to • “My computer broke down so I will remember your personal style than your present only half of the data” content • “I do not have time to tell you about • An enthusiastic speaker can make an this” average talk good, and a good talk great • Ok to be anxious (adrenaline is a great • “I do not feel qualified to address drug!) this audience”

  32. The beginning The invitation You have two minutes to engage • What is the purpose of the meeting your audience: • Who is the anticipated audience • Why should I tune into this talk (most important!) • What is the problem? • Respect your audience • Why is it an interesting problem for • Format and time allowed me? • Other presentations at the meeting What to put in Preparation 1) What you believe is important • Teach them something they do not know 2) What the audience will find interesting • Very last minute information 3) There is no number 3 • Be enthusiastic but balanced! 4) You do not have to tell them • Not everybody loves urea cycle everything you know (even defects (or motility disorders) though it is sooooo important)! Preparation Being seen, being heard • Have something to say • Speak to someone at the back of • Use slides to illustrate your points, do not decide what to say based on your the room, even if you have a slides microphone on • The problem of hand-outs (including this • Make eye contact; identify a one) nodder, and speak to him or her • KISS: Keep It Short and Sweet (better still, more than one) • Audience reads 3 times faster than you • Move! can speak • Watch audience for signs of fatigue • Slides are not a teleprompter

  33. If you are beginning to lose the audience The jokes • “Wake-up slide” • Joke • Question • Interaction with the audience • Skip complicated slides (not ideal!) Visual jokes Some jokes require time OK in every country Dilbert does not work in Argentina The mystery of the “Sphinxter” “Do not tell bad, old or insensitive jokes; do not use jokes in front of small audiences” (Di Lorenzo, 2012 )

  34. Text • Spelling and grammar – Don’t rely on built-in fools tools How to make good slides – Get help • Print the slides • KILL (Keep it large and legible) • Rule of fives (sixes, sevens) – Five words per line – Five lines per slide Fonts - Bad Slide Structure – Good • If you use a small font, your audience won’t be able to read what you have • Use 1-2 slides per minute of your written presentation • CAPITALIZE ONLY WHEN • Write in point form, not complete NECESSARY. IT IS DIFFICULT TO sentences READ • Include 4-5 points per slide • Don’t use a complicated font • Avoid wordiness: use key words and phrases only • Be consistent • Names the axes of all graphs Slide Structure – Good Slide Structure – Good Show one point at a time: • Make sure the slides show what they are supposed to show (no “this slide – Will help audience concentrate on doesn’t really show it but…”) what you are saying – Will prevent audience from reading • And not more… ahead • Take time to explain – Will help you keep your presentation • Assume the audience is naive focused

  35. Slide Structure - Bad Distracting animations • Do not use distracting animation CAN ≠ SHOULD • Do not go overboard with the animation • Be consistent with the animation that you use • Make sure your animation works Color - Good Color - Bad  Using a font color that does not contrast with  Use a color of font that contrasts sharply with the background color is hard to read the background  Using color for decoration is distracting and – Ex: blue font on white background annoying.  Use color to reinforce the logic of your  Using a different colour for each point is structure unnecessary – Ex: light blue title and dark blue text – Using a different color for secondary points is also  Use color to emphasize a point unnecessary – But only use this occasionally  Trying to be creative can also be bad Background – Bad WATCH THE DAY TURN TO NIGHT AS THE SUN SETS ON  Avoid backgrounds that are distracting or THE TOP OF THIS ONE! difficult to read from  Always be consistent with the background that you use Are you reading my very important point or are you looking at that stupid animation?!?. 32

  36. Rehearse Travel • Check length, contents, flow • Bring back up • By yourself and in front of audience • E-mail it to yourself that can give honest and • Do not check it in (same for good constructive feedback clothes if the talk is same day or • Print the slides and read them early AM on day after) • Do not have to accept every • Laptop allows very last minute suggestion (you know the topic changes (experienced presenters) better than anybody else) Day of the presentation Presentation • Be rested • Do not read • Dress up comfortably • Translators (allow them time to catch up) • After you have given the presentation to • Timing of slide entrance (ok to keep a the organizers, review it one more time copy of your slides at the podium) • Check the room and the set-up • No fancy fade ins • Water • No really, don’t • Bathroom The end Mistakes to avoid • Closing slide • DO NOT read your slides • Closing comments (thank audience and • DO NOT stand behind the podium person for asking the question) • DO NOT dress casually • Questions: • DO NOT face the screen - When to repeat the question • DO NOT use too many acronyms - Uninterpretable (or stupid) • DO NOT shake the laser pointer (not a questions – escape routes lightsaber!) • DO NOT use casual language (thing, stuff, - When you do not know the answer just, cool, you guys…) • Disconnect your microphone!

  37. Summary • Be enthusiastic, clear and loud! • Keep it simple • Be consistent • Practice • Do NOT exceed the time limit • Have fun!

  48. How to write a research paper • Real success in academic medicine requires a mentor, an important project, perseverance, and patience. Fame does not come overnight. All Mitchell B. Cohen, MD things cometh to him/her who waiteth, if he/she Professor and Vice Chair of Pediatrics works like hell while he/she waiteth. Director, Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition – Delbert A Fisher, MD Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, Torrance CA Who dunnit? Why publish: • Original peer reviewed manuscript published? • Publications expose data to critical review and benefit society/medicine/children by your work product. • Original peer reviewed manuscript submitted? • If project was worth an abstract, probably worth writing • Original peer reviewed manuscript “in preparation”? a manuscript • Publication is the gold standard for academic currency. • Publications demonstrate career development and are used to measure impact. Real impact measured by effect on society. Surrogates are impact factor and H index. H-index Why publish this paper? What is unique? • A scholar with an index of h has published h papers each of which has been cited in other papers at least h times. The h- index reflects both the number of publications and the number of citations per publication. • The h-index grows as citations accumulate and thus it depends on the 'academic age' of a researcher. • Hirsch suggested (with large error bars) that, for physicists, an h index of 12 might be typical for advancement to tenure (associate professor). A value of 18 = full professorship, and 45 or higher could mean membership in the National Academy of Sciences.

  49. Focus • Write the first draft in a limited number of sittings. • Make a list of your major hypotheses • Drips and drabs are an inefficient way to write and you • Create a path or story. Have a conversation with the can lose your focus reader. The reader wants to know what you set out to discover (hypothesis), how it was done (method) • Make your thoughts concrete, worry about polishing later what was found (results) and how you came to your • “Just get it down on paper, and then we’ll see what to do conclusions/what are the limitations of your study with it.” (discussion). – Maxwell Perkins, editor for Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Thomas Wolfe, advice to Marcia Davenport (1927) • Don’t meander. “I didn't have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead.” Blaise Pascal Organize Write • Collect references. READ them. • You need not begin writing with the introduction. • Decide which references relate to each hypothesis. • Put your data together and then write your results. Put them in folders (paper or electronic). – Generally say it once, e.g., graph, OR table, OR text • Summarize all the points relating to hypothesis 1 on • This section is the easiest and the core of the paper. one folder, hypothesis 2 in a second folder…. • Fill in the methods based on your data. • Then go back and write the introduction which should frame your results; next move to the discussion. Review, Revise, Circulate to co-authors and internal reviewers: Time line: How much time does this take? • Don’t let the manuscript age on your desk/computer. It is not a fine wine. Academics does not reward hibernation. Write manuscript; Perform submit for research, publication Plan report experiments, abstract IRB, IAUCUC approvals

  50. Aim High TITLE • Make your title specific enough to describe the contents of the paper, but not so technical that only specialists will understand. • The title usually describes the subject matter of the article: Effect of Height on Academic Performance • Sometimes a title that summarizes the results is more effective: Short Pediatric Gastroenterologists Are Promoted Faster.

  51. Results Don’t fight with the editor • This is where you present the results you've gotten. Use graphs and tables if appropriate, but also summarize your main findings in the text. Do NOT discuss the results or speculate as to why something happened; that goes in the Discussion. • Use appropriate methods of showing data. Don't try to manipulate the data to make it look like you did more than you actually did. • "The drug cured 1/3 of the infected mice, another 1/3 were not affected, and the third mouse got away.” Use appropriate statistics. DISCUSSION Authorship • Highlight the most significant results, but don't just repeat • Authorship credit should be based on what you've written in the Results section. How do these – 1) substantial contributions to conception and results relate to the original question? Do the data support design, acquisition of data, or analysis and your hypothesis? Are your results consistent with what other investigators have reported? If your results were interpretation of data; unexpected, try to explain why. Is there another way to – 2) drafting the article or revising it critically for interpret your results? What further research would be important intellectual content; and necessary to answer the questions raised by your results? – 3) final approval of the version to be published. How do your results fit into the big picture? Authors should meet conditions 1, 2, and 3. • End with a one-sentence summary of your conclusion, emphasizing why it is relevant.
