Happy to share our latest research on environmentally sustainable radiology @rsnasky.bsky.social 🌎🩻

We found that short-term exposures to higher ambient temperature and worse PM2.5 air pollution are associated with increased medical imaging utilization

Answer for the #POCUS quiz Nr.2:
#LUS; lung sliding can be seen, i.e. no pneumothorax at this site. Normal lung artifacts can be seen on the right. Subpleural consolidation can be seen on the left. In this case a pneumonic infiltrate.

A little gem from @bmj.com- Matthew Limb interviews statisticians Adrian Barnett and @nicolewhite.bsky.social about their finding that spelling errors in publications are increasing over time.

'Pubic' health and randomised controlled 'trails' are errors I've made myself🤣. Enjoy! 👇

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.
