📝 Like Wordle but wish it involved plagues?
It's not quite the same -- there's no spelling just a series of clues in a similar feedback loop as Wordle -- but it's pretty cool! Complements of an anonymous med student on Reddit.

‘Standing on the shoulders of imperfect humans’ continues w/ a review by @anniejoseph.bsky.social of the Kass criteria for significant bacteriuria named after EH Kass. Still widely used in the clinic but where did 10^5 CFU/mL come from & is it still relevant? www.cmi-comms.org/article/S295...

Standing on the shoulders of Edward H. Kass
“Without minimising the great advance made by Kass in the diagnosis of UTI, it is
none the less important to recognise its limitations.” Rosalind Maskell, 1989 [1].

This retrospective cohort from 🇫🇷showed that oral switch is a suitable option for treating IE, even for POET-ineligible patients
➡️treatment failure HR=0.55 favoring oral, 95%CI 0.27-1.17
➡️more days alive outside 🏥 in oral group (59 vs 47, p=0.001)

This is a wild paper on the performance of warm/empathetic AI models in medical reasoning. This is the start of whatever we're calling a #Thread on Bluesky. A #Skeeterfall? A #SkeetShoot? A #Skeetitorial?

Training language models to be warm and empathetic makes them less reliable and more sycophantic

Our new study published. We were surprised to see that carriers have a high baseline risk that antibiotics don't add on it. Among non carriers BLBLI posed the highest risk. Overall the conclusion as always is- be judicious: use the shortest regimen and try to avoid unnecessary treatment
Asymptomatic carriers of C. diff infection (CDI) have a higher baseline risk for CDI, particularly to amoxicillin and clavulanate and piperacillin and tazobactam, increasing risk for noncarriers but not carriers. ja.ma/4fj4hK5

Is anyone here using 405 nm LED lights for environmental disinfection in their hospital? Does it make a difference?
