🧪New study exploring albumin binding in salicylate overdose—very cool work. Albumin ↓ free salicylate in vitro; largest drops required high levels, but simply correcting low albumin was intriguing. Mechanistic, hypothesis-generating. First bench-top study for me! PMID: 41413367

As emergency medicine pharmacists when we feel left out and want to let people know we write a strongly worded peer-reviewed paper and publish it in a leading journal. Shout out to @ohsnapimginger

🚨 Benzonatate can kill—but rarely by accident. Our 20‑year review , serious toxicity (seizure, dysrhythmia, death) was almost entirely seen in intentional cases. Unintentional? Nearly all walked away. Proud of former resident Dr Cicci for leading this! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40511470/
