Funksjonshemmedes rettigheter svekkes i USA under Trumps regime. Her er en kjempegod ressurs for å følge med på hva som skjer ⬇️
I knew a Holocaust survivor who talked about the importance of notetaking under authoritarianism, to track what normal was and how it shifted. Here's that 🧵 with respect to disability, itself a canary in the fascist coal mine: www.disability-rights-watch.com/2025/02/09/w...

I’ve seen a number of trial applications in development over recent weeks with lots of discussion about appropriate sample size calculations. A good time to remind everyone about the perils of the “sample size samba” 1/8

Greia er at jeg stadig snakker med folk som tenker og tror at dette bare er en hvilken som helst politiker som gjør ting som er gjort mange ganger før, men fører en politikk mange nordmenn er uenige i. Dette er en krise i de vestlige demokratiene som stikker dypere enn det.
Hvordan skal man egentlig sikre at folk får et godt bilde av det som skjer i USA? Problemet er at statsapparatet demonteres uten hverken mandat eller juridisk grunnlag. Det er ulovlig og i praksis et kupp, men det dekkes som at Trumps politikk er kontroversiell og opposisjonen er uenig.

ICU Hemodynamics:
We are all familiar w the concept of "protective ventilation": aiming for normal blood gases entails significant risks
What if we apply the same idea in hemodynamics & try to limit the damage associated w excessive vasoconstriction?

vasopressin challenge: this group evaluated 1U bolus of vasopressin to evaluate patient responsiveness
I love this for a few reasons:
[1] allows vaso to have rapid onset (rather than taking 30-60 min to build up)
[2] we can get a sense of whether the vaso is helping

This will be obvious to anyone in the NHS since 2010. The NHS was *deliberately* run as ever more "optimised", despite clinicians screaming that empty beds were a necessary safety buffer
Then the pandemic hit, and the perils of running a health system at 95-99% occupancy came home to roost

This, this, this, thisssss 👏👏
An over-optimised system is almost always going to be low in resilience - and also completely exposed to *off-model* risk, particularly.
