For December journal club @thiagobassiMD @AnotherICUdoc discussed MILRISPASM 🧠 including ⭐️controlling for temporal trends ⭐️ treatment indication bias ⭐️ challenges of small sample sizes ⭐️ the role of table 1 ⭐️ as usual sponsored by some sweeet carbs pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34478028/

NEW - A report by Toronto City Staff finds removing bike lanes, as the Ford government intends to do along three stretches', would cost $48 million and cause "Increased travel times for drivers" while they are being removed. toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2…

Come to Toronto, I promise we're fun

Our first #CriticalCare journal club after a looong pandemic-induced hiatus! We discussed pre-intubation NIV vs O2 mask 🫁 facilitated by @BrunoFerreyro with obligatory coffee & TimBits! Glad to see it back ❤️ 🏥 @mjogova @nialldferguson @AnotherICUdoc @manutismi

BREAKING: This is FAR faster and ham-fisted than even I would have imagined! Spending a LOT of public money and disrupting traffic in order to weaken Toronto, hurt small business, endanger lives, make traffic worse, remove choice, increase emissions & increase public costs!

120 physicians and researchers from the @UofT are signatories to this letter to @fordnation. “Legislation that guides road design must prioritize safety over travel times” @HealthyDebate @TheBikingLawyer @TO_Cycling_Ped @AlisonVStewart @LanrickBennett @biketo #bikeTO #onpoli #topoli Link: healthydebate.ca/2024/10/topic/…

Beyond borders! International fellowships serve as catalysts for development 🌱 professional 🌱 personal 🌱 career 🌱 institutional shaping fellows’ identity & producing a more well-rounded, empathetic, effective physician. #FOAMcc on @yourICM 🔓 rdcu.be/dX0jo

The Lancet: “The targeting of maternity hospitals and the blockade that limits essential medical supplies, such as anaesthetics and maternity kits, from entering Gaza have turned pregnancy into a life-threatening condition for thousands of women.” thelancet.com/journals/lance… #Gaza

To put the bike lane debate in Toronto in perspective, more people commute by bike each day in Toronto than the entire population that lives in Barrie, Ontario. Or Kingston. Or Guelph. Or Sudbury. It's pretty rich that the Province wants to tell us how to get around our own city. If they don't like sitting in traffic when they get here, they should go fix regional transit. That is their mess - and the true culprit for congestion in the city. Anyone who understands physics knows that cyclists are part of the solution.

Happy to share our recent work on Long-term Outcomes Following Non-operative Management of Acute Appendicitis e-pub today @AnnalsofSurgery 13,200 non-op, cumulative incidence of re-presentation or intervention was 33% at 1-year and 36% at 5-years journals.lww.com/annalsofsurger…

IMPORTANT: The Ford Government in Ontario has been promoting car-dependent suburban sprawl while undermining public transit, biking and walking, so not surprisingly, they’re fuelling a lot more car congestion. Now they need a scapegoat so are trying to blame it on bike-lanes. 1/

Interventions like virtual consultations may allow for assessment by clinicians with trauma expertise while allowing patients to remain in their home communities.

Therefore, ongoing initiatives to reduce unnecessary transfers likely present an opportunity for significant savings and to optimize limited trauma centre capacity.

Very excited to see the final paper from my PhD thesis @ihpmeuoft in @JAMANetworkOpen shorturl.at/j0FU5 Could not have gotten here without the support of amazing mentors & colleagues @Barbara_Haas_ @MattGuttmanMD @damon_scales #Avery_Nathens So what did we do?
