Okay #MedSky #AcademicSky 📚

What is the optimal number of reviewers for a run-of-the-mill manuscript @ reg journal (i.e. not Science/NEJM)

Some journals invite 4-5 as default 🤯
I think 2 is sufficient, max 3 if controversy

More reviewers ➡️ less AE provides input
And SO many hours of free labour 💪

Thrilled our paper made it to the @atsblueeditor.bsky.social ILD issue this month. Look forward to building on this work and welcome collaboration with anyone interested in subclinical pulmonary fibrosis. I think a future research area is mapping the blood-lung proteome in this context.

Our paper is online @atsblueeditor.bsky.social identifying plasma protein markers with HAA and correlating to new-onset fibrotic/subpleural ILA. Big thanks to our collaborators in #MESA & #SPIROMICS!

Delighted to share our new study evaluating the association of rare variants in telomere and non-telomere monogenic adult-onset Pulmonary Fibrosis genes and IPF patient survival where we also intersected their effects with #PRS of IPF.

Had the privilege giving a talk about early ILD detection and sharing some of the research we are doing at #KATRD annual meeting in #Gyeongju. Thank you for the opportunity and meeting so many wonderful pulmonologists.

Excited to post my first #skySplain about our recent work published yesterday in Nature Genetics! www.nature.com/articles/s41.... One of the first authors of this study - Annika Vannan – actually wrote this breakdown, but she's not yet over here on bluesky and asked me to post!

Now can we use CA-125 as a theragnostic biomarker of treatment response in patients with IPF? Why wouldn't we?

Question for intensivists regarding theoretical vs observed risk tolerance. How much consideration or pause (if any) are you given when starting inhaled pulmonary vasodilators for refractory hypoxemia if the patient has concurrent left heart dysfunction?

last night, Hallie Prescott had her NEJM review on sepsis released: www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Today I had the pleasure of giving some remarks on her installation as the Toews Family Legacy Professor at the University of Michigan

Sepsis is a life-threatening, heterogeneous disorder involving a dysregulated immune response to infection. Research to identify subtypes and targeted therapies for host dysregulation is ongoing.
