fun with math:
the number of potential drug-drug interactions = n(n-1)/2, where n = number of drugs
drug-drug interactions & med errors increase parabolically
for ICU patients on a couple dozen meds, this balloons into hundreds of potential interactions
pare back on unnecessary meds #EMIMCC

Do you cannulate ‘awake’ (non intubated) for VV ECMO? What’s your experience? Our findings using the ELSO registry match what we’ve seen @montefiorecritcare.bsky.social. About half of patients intubated at 24-hours. No mortality difference. Check it out! pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... #emimccm

I don’t get it. It was very clear to anyone who looked that the research $SAVA used to develop simufilam was fake. Was the market really expecting a positive trial to emerge from fraud? Shouldn’t this obvious fraud have been “priced in” to $SAVA?
So much for efficient markets…

Casava Biosciences announced negative results in their phase 3 trial of simufilam, an investigational Alzheimer’s treatment.
Simufilam’s development was marked by many examples of research fraud, & one researcher was indicted by DOJ.
The $SAVA stock isn’t taking it well.
Fraud doesn’t pay.
