What happens to attention/processing speed functioning after brain radiation? We evaluated injury to the corpus callosum and intrahemispheric white matter & correlated with cognitive function. New results out in @ASTRO_org #RedJournal! redjournal.org/article/S0360-…. THREAD: 🧵🧵🧵 1/n

@andyzwang @LangerLab @SamuelAchilefu @TiansterZhang Congrats!!!! 🎊🎈🎉

Humbled and honored to be part of this illustrious group. Can’t do it without great mentors joeltepper @LangerLab @SamuelAchilefu support and my better half’s support @TiansterZhang

Man it really bothers me when people label certain specialty residency programs as “easy.” All it does is invalidate any mental/physical challenges trainees may have, and it’s just flat out wrong.

5, eh?😅 Standard fractionation = I give you a small piece of chocolate every day for like 2 months Hypofractionation = Larger piece of chocolate for 4 weeks Ultrafractionation = HUGE piece 5 days in a row😉 IMRT = I am gonna throw the chocolate at you from more than 4 directions 🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫

I would like to share the story of how a patient with cancer came up with the idea for a randomized trial, & how listening to him saved a lot of lives. 1/ In 2002, I had just completed a randomized trial with the notorious drug thalidomide for the cancer, multiple myeloma.

@DrAntoParavati Not 100% sure but I think the hospital only got the rad onc sim charges overall. rad onc was a division of the radiology department, but rad onc billing was done separately from diagnostic rad billing. The ct sim images would be autopushed to pacs, then queued to rads.

@MHuynhLe Hey Minh! Thank you very much! Do you know how it worked from a finance perspective? Did the rad onc department pay the radiology department for the prof service they performed by interpreting the scan?

To my radiation oncology colleagues out there, I'm curious if radiologists are routinely interpreting the CT simulations done at your institution?  I.e. doing so-called "over reads" A typical scenario might be a CT sim done for breast cancer in which you fully image the patient's lungs. This CT sim goes to the radiologists' work queue and they interpret it as if it were a dedicated chest CT.  The idea is to avoid missing a significant finding such as a lung nodule or similar.  if you do this, I would love to hear about it works.  Thank you in advance to those who respond.  #radonc

@Cancer_talks Beautiful! Have fun!

Heading up the mountain in 🇨🇭 to ⛷️ by the Matterhorn! Happy thanksgiving to all the docs, healthcare workers and their families out there!

I woke up this morning and saw this on the front of @TheLancet. A quote from my manuscript. As the feature article. A narrative. Whew. Along with redefining what a professor looks like, it makes me happy to help expand what scholarship looks like, too. Yeah. #storiescount 💛

@TylerSbrt I remember this!!

This is Hachikō. He was an Akita born on Nov. 10, 1923 in Japan. He was sold to Hidesaburo Ueno, a scientist at the University of Tokyo. Ueno named him Hachi after the number 8, which is considered lucky in Japan, and the two became inseparable...

Medical interns will be starting their new careers this week. I think it's important for the public to know a few things about our new colleagues: 1) In teaching hospitals, we work as a team; interns ARE physicians who learn by watching, then doing, with graduated autonomy. 1/6

TOP TEN TIPS FOR NEW INTERNS June 24th, 2005 was my first day of internship so I'm celebrating my 18th anniversary as a practicing doctor by invoking my Oslerian right as a grizzled attending to dispense unsolicited advice to younger physicians A #medtwitter #meded THREAD/
