Dias Argandykov, MD

Enjoyed being back in my “home” #BeanTown #Boston as combined @MGHSurgery @MGHCancerCenter Visiting Professor. ❤️seeing old friends & mentors, as well as spending time with next generation of #surgical #leaders. Big 🙏 to Dr. Lillemoe for being as kind & gracious as always. 🎁

Thank you @JTraumAcuteSurg for giving us the honor of the best paper this month ! It’s a humbling to share it with @argandykov and my colleagues at @MGHSurgery . We believe this approach will give a far better alternative to per cutaneous chole tubes!

Endless thanks to the fantastic team: @krishnanendo @SaraZhaoIRad @ICNzenwa Drs Kalva, Iqbal, El Moheb, and to @CharuParanjape for his leadership and mentorship. A huge shoutout to the best @TraumaMGH research team and my mentors, Dr. Velmahos @hayfarani, who made this possible!

Incredibly grateful to the team @MGHSurgery @MGH_GI @MGHIR1 led by the outstanding Dr @CharuParanjape, for pioneering transpapillary cholecystoduodenal stenting as a safe, long-term alternative to external GB drainage in high-risk patients with acute cholecystitis.

This study evaluated the optimal red blood cell (RBC) to cryoprecipitate transfusion ratio in trauma resuscitation. 1 pooled unit of Cryo per 7-8 units of RBC could be the optimal dose of cryoprecipitate that provides a significant benefit @AnderDorken journals.lww.com/jtrauma/abstra…

Three cheers for this excellent new publication in @JTraumAcuteSurg by @EmanueleLagazzi @argandykov @deRouletMD @AbiadMay @RafaqatWardah and team members from @MGHSurgery @harvardmed @MassGeneralNews. #CWISmemberresearch #ssrf #TBI

Safety of the injectable expanding biopolymer foam for non-compressible truncal bleeding in swine surgjournal.com/article/S0039-… Excellent study by @AnderDorken @argandykov @MGHSurgery @TraumaMGH @harvardmed in @SurgJournal @acsTrauma

In patients with multiple rib fractures and concomitant traumatic brain injury early SSRF is associated with a significant decrease in hospital LOS, ICU LOS, days of mechanical ventilation, and tracheostomy rates compared to late SSRF #SoMe4Trauma journals.lww.com/jtrauma/fullte…

Timing matters: Early versus late rib fixation in patients with multiple rib fractures and pulmonary contusion surgjournal.com/article/S0039-… @EmanueleLagazzi @MGHSurgery @TraumaMGH in @SurgJournal

Can Artificial Intelligence diagnose & remedy, instead of consolidate, racial disparities in care? Check out our new publication in @JAMASurgery to learn about our new AI model addressing disparities in Trauma. Work led by @hayfarani & @dbertsim and the phenomenal MGH/MIT crew.

Interpretable machine learning methodologies are powerful tools to diagnose and remedy system-related bias in care, such as disparities in access to postinjury rehabilitation care. ja.ma/3P8Sdjc @hayfarani @dbertsim @AnthonyGebran @LMaurerMD

In a TQIP-based propensity-matched analysis, patients with TBI & multiple rib fractures undergoing rib fixation showed decreased mortality & longer hospital and ICU lengths of stay. These findings suggest a role for SSRF in TBI #SoMe4Trauma #SoMe4Surgery journals.lww.com/jtrauma/Fullte…

Congratulations to @The_BMC @BUMedicine surgeon Dr. Noelle Saillant @NoelleSaillant, who has been named Chief of Surgical Critical Care and SICU Director & will assume her new roles on August 1. Dr. Saillant has also been named BMC Surgical Critical Care Fellowship Director.

Our humanitarian work @SurgiBoxInc has been featured in @MIT news news.mit.edu/2023/bringing-… for our trip to #Ukraine this March 2023 in aid mission with @MedGlobalOrg with Dr. @EmanueleLagazzi and Dr. Michael Samotowka. Thank you to @dlab_mit and the many who supported us!

"Every physician & nurse knows well what it is: deeply connecting with the patient beyond learned compassion techniques and “owning” their care. For many, this connectedness is one of the few things that make the hardship of taking care of ill patients worth it." #Ptconnectedness

Like all kind of relationships, things are rarely linear. Is balanced transfusion in patients who are bleeding but not massively simply an overuse of precious blood products?

Emanuele Lagazzi discussing #SSRF in those with #traumaticbraininjury at the #CWISummit2023 Great presentation! Definitely requirements for further research here with our polytrauma patients. @CWISociety
