TTP survivors face increased cardiovascular risk, but why? Cardiac MRI shows reduced stress myocardial blood flow & perfusion reserve in survivors vs controls. Endothelial dysfunction may play a role in increased CV morbidity & mortality in these patients. doi.org/10.1002/ajh.27…

Oncology is an incredibly rewarding field, but it can also be emotionally heavy. Burnout is real, especially early in your career. Having a strong support system makes all the difference. Grateful for my amazing oncology crew here in Houston—find your people, lean on them! 🤍

Excited to share our work on novel EHR clinical risk model for predicting #cancer #thrombosis (#VTE). Easy to use. Identifies 70% VTE events in high-risk (6-mo rate 10% vs. 3% in high- vs low-risk) @JCO_ASCO @BCMDeptMedicine @MarcCarrier1 @ChrisRFlowersMD ascopubs.org/doi/full/10.12…

Are you a woman who has had TTP? Researchers are interested in your experiences with care after TTP, especially regarding pregnancy (or deciding whether you want to or should get pregnant). Please take a few minutes to share your perspective with this in this research survey.

Out now- my first first-author paper in @BloodJournal with @BabushokLab @PennCancer – “Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs as a targeted therapy for bone marrow failure in Ghosal Hematodiaphyseal Dysplasia” 🧵 (1/13) ashpublications.org/blood/article-…

I had been suffering from bruising, extreme tiredness, fast heart rate and shortness of breath. Reeshemah Wynn went to the emergency room with what she thought was the flu, but she was diagnosed with a rare blood disorder called aTTP. Read her story here[bit.ly/3RCGgB8]

Ever wondered what to do for #TTP in remission? 🤔 Today in @BloodJournal - how I treat TTP after discharge ⬇️ @USTMAConsortium @HTRSFellows @SSukumarMD @TTP_Network @ttpdoc ashpublications.org/blood/article/…

Officially moved Columbus ➡️Houston! Excited to share my start as Assistant Professor Breast Medical Oncology @MDAndersonNews. Immense gratitude to mentors, friends & family for the endless support - looking forward to the next chapter! #bcsm

🚨@USTMAConsortium study 💪 N=645 ✅ Acute #TTP outcomes similar by #race ⬆️ relapse Black pts despite anti-CD20 🔑 Anti-CD20 works; shorter lived effect in Black patients -> may need closer monitoring and retreatment / other IST 🤔 shorturl.at/bfhy9 @BloodJournal

As I finish out my last month of oncology training I’m so honored to attend #MyFirstASCO with my dad, an outstanding oncologist dedicated to cancer care for 30 years and my inspiration #ASCO22 @ASCO

If you’re living with TTP, we’d love to hear from you! Researchers are looking at TTP patients’ experiences with healthcare to understand if differences in access to care after a TTP diagnosis impact outcomes. Please consider taking this anonymous survey: redcap.link/TTPstudy

@Nischistocyte @HemOncFellows @chadinabhan @AaronGoodman33 @NicoGagelmann @amarkelkar @ManniMD1 @nihardesai7 Read up on etiologies of thrombocytopenia and basics of work up in a hospitalized patient. That will be a huge help and something we get asked about quite frequently!

I will be having my hematology consults elective in August. Can you please suggest me important topics to read or give any other imp tips? My only rotation before I apply for a fellowship, so I really want to show my interest as a good resident interested in hemeonc.#MedTwitter
