Satellite videos
In addition to text-based Satellites, our Affinity publishing programme also hosts Satellite content in video format. Video can visually and audibly support the topics explored within a written Satellite or can be a stand-alone format. For example, a video might consist of presentations filmed during a symposium, and as such could cover items such as patient experience and/or new research as presented by key opinion leaders.
The Satellite sponsors handle the editorial management and production of the video content they supply, including ensuring that contributors supply competing interest information and informed consent to publish online, and consent from any patients included in the video. BMJ Group does not accept responsibility for the content. BMJ Group hosts the video Satellite on the Group’s website for a minimum of three months, and banner advertisements may be included on the relevant specialist journal website(s) and in email alerts to promote the videos. Viewers are expected to verify for themselves any information presented in Satellites before deciding whether to act on it.
Online video's include:
- Mucosal Healing: Following the right track in Crohn’s Disease
- Moving forward in the Management of Ulcerative colitis
The symposium is chaired by:
- Daniël Hommes, Professor of Gastroenterology at Leiden University Medical Centre, The Netherlands
The speakers include:
- Jean-Frédéric Colombel, Professor of Hepatogastroenterology at University of Lille, France
- Fabian Schnitzler, from the University of Munich-Grosshadern, Germany
- Gert van Assche, Associate Professor of Medicine at University of Leuven, Belgium
The symposium aims to discuss what is already known about Crohn’s Disease as well as what new goals have been set to treat it. It begins with an interview of a patient suffering from the disease. He provides a brief description of the discomfort and pain he has suffered as a result of the disease as well as the disheartening experience of trialling ineffective treatment. However, the interview ends positively, as he describes how both the disease and his life changed after being put on an infusion based treatment using infliximab. The filmed interview is followed by the above speakers all with the same aim: to share their understanding of the disease and its treatment and to dispense their knowledge within key messages.
The symposium is chaired by:
- Gert Van Assche, Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Leuven in Belgium.
The speakers include:
- Julián Panés, Head of the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Unit at the Hospital Clinic, University of Barcelona, Spain
- Walter Reinisch, from the Medical University of Vienna, Austria
This is a case based program that explores the issue of controlling and treating ulcerative colitis looking at the new treatment, infliximab. It also aims to discuss who would be the most appropriate patient for this new biological therapy. This is done by looking at the evidence presented from various control trials as well as exploring guidelines set by organisations such as ECCO (European Crohn’s and Colitis Organisation). Patient cases are also presented, exploring both those who have been eligible and those who have proven to benefit from this treatment.
