@siddharthkara Listened to the podcast. I had know idea. Do you know any charities that would good to donate to for this issue?

@Dr_Oubre Can you explain an example where a fall of troponins by 20% correlates to injury?

What should you call that elevated troponin? This is NOT taught well and impacts more than you think. Understand it in 2 minutes:

@andrewkomd @PGY80085 @Dr_Oubre Ischemia = lack of blood supply to heart, injury = mechanical injury (i.e. from stretch)

@tony_breu So basically we can use NSAIDS to prevent bleeding?

15/15 Collectively, the increased risk of bleeding seen in patients with cirrhosis and bacterial infection is multifactorial. Regardless of the main mechanism, prophylactic antibiotics are effective at reducing this risk. Use them wisely! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10023916/

1/15 🤔Why do antibiotics reduce the risk of rebleeding after acute variceal hemorrhage? I understand why antibiotics reduce infections, but the mechanism by which they reduce rebleeding is not immediately apparent. Let's have a look.

@Dr_Oubre My tip: Please don't write "Continue (enter antibiotic) for 5 days" - instead, put an end date

In 8 years I’ve written and read >20,000 SOAP notes. Most could be improved. 3 tips to writing better notes:

@AvrahamCooperMD Tongue Burn Hazing Syndrome

What’s the diagnosis? #MedTwitter

@Dr_Oubre Might as well throw on Phos too

Should magnesium be included in a BMP? What say you #medtwitter?

@BrownHospMed I've never seen so many different ways of saying cholesterol embolization syndrome

Five weeks after uneventful coronary-artery bypass grafting, an 81-year-old woman presented to the hospital with extensive livedo reticularis and cyanosis of the toes. What is the likely diagnosis? #Medtwitter

@tony_breu @Dr_Oubre 2/3 of his followers listened

Wow. I have typically been skeptical that "you should follow" threads lead to people actually following those listed. Not anymore. Look at what happened on 10/8 and 10/9. This is thanks to @Dr_Oubre.

Here's my review w/ Dr. Jacob Joseph regarding clinical phenotyping in HFpEF An unbiased approach utilizing AI/ML, clinical imaging, and biomarkers is likely to lead to better phenotyping of HFpEF and better therapeutic strategies @The_BMC @VABostonHC pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36178663/
