I built my entire future on the hope of securing NIH funding. Now, countless junior faculty like me are watching our academic dreams slip away. We’re not just losing careers—we’re losing the research breakthroughs we could have delivered. Here’s hoping this NIH crisis ends soon. #medsky #NIH

Bloodstream infections (bacteremia) are serious—over 500K cases/year in the U.S. alone. The BALANCE trial challenges a key treatment norm: Do we need 14 days of antibiotics, or is 7 days enough? Let’s dive in. 🔬💉

Since we’re entering the last month of 2024, here is a non-systematic review of #pulmcrit trials published this year that I found particularly noteworthy. Not comprehensive, so please include any that I may have missed!

If #MedSky is going to thrive, we need more journals sharing key research. Great to see ATS community joining the conversation—here’s to advancing knowledge together! #PCCMsky

A thread 🧵 on trials I think have changed or will change ICU practice (at least my own). #emimcc
At the back of Revision Notes In Intensive Care Medicine there is a list of 59 key papers relating to intensive care medicine published between 1998 and 2015 (the book was published in 2016).
I'd like to keep my revision up to date. Are there any equivalent lists of key papers from 2016 to now?

Spending Thanksgiving differently this year: on ICU call overnight, wife working at the hospital, skipped cooking a big meal. But gratitude fills our home. Dancing with my daughters, putting up Christmas decorations—reminded that joy is in the little moments. ❤️ #Thanksgiving

Could diabetes drugs reduce asthma attacks?
New observational study shows metformin linked to 30% fewer asthma attacks—and adding GLP-1RA meds cut attacks by another 40%!?
