Do you sign out surgical pathology aortic specimens? Make sure you’re familiar with the normal regional variability to avoid overcalling degenerative features! Learn more at: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I get this question a lot - at autopsy, we (obviously) can’t assess blood flow the way clinicians can on echo. But there ARE anatomic clues to the diagnosis!
Have you ever considered aortic regurgitation as a cause of sudden cardiac death? This excellent study provides guidance to any autopsy or cardiovascular pathologist in making these diagnoses. Open access for a limited time at: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Now available online! Is aortic valve morphology more meaningful than age, aortic dilation, or valve function?

Elected Republicans are cheering from the bleachers as the very institutes of higher learning that allowed them to attain power are destroyed by The Regime.
The average MAGA is thrilled that “the elite” are getting what they view as their comeuppance. They cannot see the long-term consequences.

Interesting: why rationalising with those swept up by right wing propaganda doesn’t work. Before Trump’s conviction 17% of Republicans thought that felons could still be presidents. Once Trump became a felon, 58% changed their minds on the principle.

A real life consequence of vaccine hesitancy & refusal, nurtured by the misinformation that Secretary Kennedy continues to spread. Educating patients and parents in an exam room is an almost impossible task when powerful influencers are willing to exploit fear.
CDC reports 216 child deaths this flu season, the most in 15 years
The flu vaccination rate for U.S. children has plummeted from about 64% five years ago to 49% this season.

Were you taught in medical school that patients with bicuspid aortic valves developed aortic aneurysms because of ‘turbulent blood flow’? This article helps to correct that misperception (hint: it involves embryology). www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
