First Barrow Neurocritical Care division journal club! We had a multidisciplinary discussion regarding transfusion thresholds in acute brain injury, discussing the HEMOTION, TRAIN, and SAHARA trials. Very excited to continue these multidisciplinary journal clubs! #neuro #academia

More twists in black plastic utensils story: The study overstated the potential exposure to flame retardants by an order of magnitude because of a math error, and now the whole journal has been de-listed from a science index for not meeting "quality criteria." arstechnica.com/health/2024/...

PSA: The black plastic utensils story is a classic example of something that happens often: unsupportable scientific results communicated in popular media. This case was author error but recent headlines about processed food & colon cancer are from data that didn’t look at processed food consumption

Not my usual type of post but I am definitely excited for this

Reading through the FDA dossier on Andexxa I. Wow- seems like a lot of the data that we have all wanted to see really DOES exist. I am interested to see how this plays out. At the very least high dose has got to go… right?! #pharmsky #medsky

Honey, stop what you're doing, new hyponatremia research just dropped!

What's it say?

It looks like slow correction is associated with worse outcomes, like death and length of stay!

Was it just a small study?

No, it was a meta-analysis of almost 12,000 patients!

The CDC and WHO report a 20% increase in measles cases last year, driven by decreases in vaccination.

This equated to 107,500 DEATHS, mostly in young children.

This, in a PREVENTABLE disease.

Can only imagine what that number will be if we get rid of all mandates.

Good night to throw some rocks 🥌 #coyotescurlingclub #curling

Left X when it was no longer twitter and defected to threads. Miss the med/pharm engagement of the old platform. Hoping this is better 🤞🏼
