As I gear up for residency, I've been reviewing some key medicine topics. I'm currently reviewing oncologic emergencies, starting with Tumor Lysis Syndrome.
This is high yield content on the wards and the boards, so let's dive in!

The role of hyperthyroidism in cardiovascular disease is well-documented. What are the pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying thyroid hormone's role in arrhythmias, hypertrophy, and heart failure?

1/ Day 16 of Pharmacy Advent: Let’s talk hyponatremia—seeing it more frequently in ED. Why is hypokalemia risk factor for Na overcorrection & risk of ODS? We’ll briefly review recent SRMA on slow vs fast Na correction too. Here we go, let’s dive in!👇 #medsky #pharmsky #EMsky #HMsky #nursesky #emimcc

On this day in 1981, a landmark paper in NEJM described four patients with evidence of immunodeficiency associated with PJP pneumonia, disseminated CMV, and Kaposi sarcoma. The disease would come to be known as HIV/AIDS. Revisit the paper: nej.md/41iekKD

Really cool study design and approach to reducing outpatient antibiotic prescribing. #IDSky
What if physicians were paid to NOT prescribe unneeded antibiotics? 🤔
Clinicians in 🇯🇵 were paid ~$5.7 when rationale provided to not prescribe 💊 for kids <3y with acute URTI or gastro
There was sustained ⬇️ in ABx (~20%) over 4 yrs w/o signals of harm
