The Last Supper, Chinese painting, 1938, by (Luke) Chen Yuandu, from Catholic University of Peiping.

A friend shared this video from her hometown. A wall of 大白s blocking the returning workers. Cannot verify that is what is really happening, but my friend was sad to see this. We will never again be at zero. But the costs - in so many senses - of trying to get there keep rising.

Halloween special: A middle aged male presented with abdominal pain. An echocardiogram was done that showed this finding. What is the clinical finding/diagnosis? @drnhassanpour #Medtwitter

Half-sun at Giza Pyramids today. This only happens every 5 years.

AABIP would like to thank all the respiratory therapists. Thank you for supporting the advanced bronchoscopy and interventional pulmonology services. #RespiratoryCareWeek

@MaldonadoFabien @accpchest @seeweilow @RobJLentz @OtisBRickman Nice work!

Acute Mesenteric Ischaemia guideline from World Society of Emergency Surgery ➡️High index of suspicion ➡️Fluid resuscitation ➡️CT angiogram ➡️Revascularization - anticoagulation / surgery / endovascular ➡️Resection Stay up-to-date with the literature criticalcarereviews.com/latest-evidenc…

After 1 Prime Minister, a PDS suture still retains 50% of its strength, whereas Vicryl will have been 90% broken down by hydrolysis.

@NephroPeeps @M_Elraggal @askrenal Is kidney biopsy a vigorous activity?

@M_Elraggal @askrenal Interesting question. Or more generalized, Is cyst rupture associated with any form of vigorous activity?

Is there any data that weightlifting can cause cyst rupture or complications or increase cyst growth in ADPKD patients? #askrenal for a patient

We have added the suprahyoid muscle group. One of the functions of suprahyoid muscles is to open the mouth. Of the group visible in the video are the mylohyoid, stylohyoid, and digastric muscles. Hope you like the result! #jaw #hyoid #mylohyoid #stylohyoid #digastric #dental #TMJ

#chestchallenge2022 #chesttrainees What is pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis

@nkagetsu Elderly is defined as older than your attending.

Words to avoid: Med student on rounds: the patient is a middle aged woman Chief resident: How old? Student: 32 Chief: 😡 #meded

Saving lives at #CHEST2022

I vote we get rid of the phrase "pre-load dependent" from the medical lexicon and replace it immediately with "pre-load sensitive". #CHEST2022 cc @msiuba

Did you hear about the English teacher who cured her malignant effusion with montelukast? She made her pleura Singulair.

@RobJLentz @seeweilow @MaldonadoFabien @OtisBRickman @KaeleLeonard Thanks!

Per @MaxDiddams request this AM: the diagnostic yield algorithm used in recent VUMC studies. <2% false-negative benign biopsy rate through 2 year f/u, as Dr. Leonard detailed in her talk! Yield approximates accuracy. @seeweilow @MaldonadoFabien @OtisBRickman @KaeleLeonard
