▫️There’s no good evidence mucolytics help (or harm) ventilated ICU pts
▫️Everyone uses them anyway
▫️🤞MARCH trial will give us some answers

Great piece from @tomcalver.bsky.social matches much of what we hear in focus groups people think crime levels are worse than they are because of an absence of visible law enforcement and feeling police have just given up trying with many crimes

In-person crime isn’t rising — so why do we think it is?
Are British streets more dangerous than they used to be? You’d be forgiven for thinking so. London is one of the mobile phone-snatching capitals of Europe, and not a day goes by without a push

India are in a hole and, other than the skipper and Siraj, they don’t really have the same quality of attack to dig them out of it. They’re going to have to hope the Aussies throw away a few wickets.

Interpreting blood test results on one person is like understanding time travel. The "predictive value" of the result changes... when the prevalence of the thing you're looking for in the population changes. WTAF? We were discussing at work and I remembered: this! www.badscience.net/2006/12/crys...
