Proud to receive WF's James Edwin Byrum Distinguished Faculty Mentor Award

"It is a painful, lonely way to die." Dr. Ashish Khanna takes care of #COVID19 patients in the ICU at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center. He's seen the virus take a toll on all ages. Healthcare workers plea to the public as case counts continue to rise, tonight at 11. @WFMY

@msjoding @tsvalley @robertpdickson @iwashyna @UM_IHPI Such great work Michael. Had an internist ask me about this paper just this morning!

Our study showed that pulse oximeters are less accurate in Black patients. Should you still use one at home? @tsvalley @robertpdickson @iwashyna @UM_IHPI nytimes.com/2020/12/23/wel…

@RoseyNurse19 😀😀😀

Congratulations to Dr. Ogake (@OgakeSB) on all your accomplishments! nairobinews.nation.co.ke/news/kenyan-bo…

Pay everyone $1500 to get vaccine It is a stimulus check & big vaccine incentive rolled into one Result: more people get vaccine, it saves lives, helps people financially, and the $400 B pays for itself w/ economic boost from ending pandemic RT if you agree #vaccinestimulus

Happy to share our post-hoc analysis of participant retention data in trauma ICU follow-up studies published in @TSACO_AAST Thank you @DrDaleNeedham @V_Dinglas @elliotthaut for your mentorship. @ronii2017 tsaco.smart01.highwire.org/content/5/1/e0…

I am incredibly proud of @wakeforestmed's contribution to this study. We were one of the leading enrollers. Our success was due to remarkable collaboration @WakePCCM, @wakehealthHM , @wakeforestid and the Wake Forest PETAL group (ED and ICU)

I'm grateful and honored to be asked to serve and to contribute to ending this pandemic. We have runaway spread right now. But I am confident we can get the virus under control, save lives and livelihoods, and bring people back together again. buildbackbetter.com/press-releases…

@Terri_Hough Wow

Explore Faculty in Focus, a video series that shows what motivates our faculty and inspires their work. @aartisarwal, MD, uses her love of ballroom dancing to refresh and recharge after a long shift in her high-stakes career as a #neurointensivist. #meded bit.ly/3lRx3Vq

7 years ago I joined @LabAlessio ' s lab studying the role of TREGs in acute lung injury resolution. Yesterday, @WakePCCM enrolled a pt in a randomized trial of TREGs as a novel therapeutic for Covid ARDS!! Big thanks to @RoseyNurse19 for crushin it yesterday!!

@jennifertwk Congrats!!!!

Honored to receive this recognition along with some other amazing physician scientists and #WomenInMedicine

Long-term effects of widespread delays in elective procedures may not be apparent for a time. One analysis projected that tremendous effort will be required to clear a surgical case backlog estimated to be nearly 5 million cases ja.ma/2SvlcQ0 @JFreischlag @wakehealth

@karanpdesai @OslerResidency @BayviewMedicine I had the pleasure of training with Brian. I’ve never worked with a better physician.

Dr Brian Garibaldi is who I would want to have managing my family’s COVID care if they were hospitalized. No better physician and person to advise the President and his Physician Team @OslerResidency @BayviewMedicine

@JulesBass6 Thanks! @KevinGibbsMD did a ton of work on this one along with other colleagues

Beautiful work from ⁦@FILES_DC⁩ ! academic.oup.com/biomedgerontol…

academic.oup.com/biomedgerontol… Old mice have impaired injury resolution, resistance to therapeutic exercise, and delayed metabolic recovery after lung injury. Team science by me, @FILES_DC, @jennifertwk, and others! @OxfordJournals @geronsociety

Honoured & excited to be a recipient of a 2020 #ChurchillFellowship - thanks to @ChurchillTrust to advance knowledge for Australians on #icurehab #acutept and #rehab pathways for post ICU care. Looking forward to connecting with the Churchill Fellowship Community.

Improving outcomes in sepsis starts with discoveries in the lab. Unfortunately, basic sepsis research has no “home” at the NIH. Without funding for basic research, progress will not happen. #WorldSepsisDay #NIH worldsepsisday.org/wsd2020

As we think about convalescent plasma (CP), I thought it was worth looking at the actual data in other diseases. As best I can tell, the only actual trial showing efficacy for CP is in Argentine hemorrhagic fever, published in Lancet in 1979. It's an elegant study from 1974–1978
