@karinjr Second question, *how* are they pointing? Perhaps, 'exhasperatedly' or 'like a sign pointing toward a nearby site of historical interest'. Also worth describing the nails, angle of finger bend etc

@karinjr Absolutely. First question I'd have as a reader; left or right index finger?

Dear First-Draft-Me: You don't have to specify that people point with their index finger. Reader's know that's how pointing works. With love and exasperation, Editing-Me

Coding of #delirium in England and Scotland has gone up in the last 8 years. Work led by Temi Ibitoye @delirious_dr @dhj_davis @A_MacLullich deliriumcommunicationsjournal.com/article/84051-…

Study findings do not support the treatment of elevated inpatient blood pressures in hospitalized older adults without evidence of end organ damage and highlight the need for randomized clinical trials of inpatient blood pressure treatment targets. ja.ma/3NXGLWV

Extremes of baseline cognitive function determine the severity of delirium: a population study Question: before hospitalisation, how might brain function influence the severity of #delirium symptoms? @Alextsui_1 @MRCLHA @wellcometrust academic.oup.com/brain/advance-…

Exciting opportunity. Apply now for @arc_nt funded post-doctoral fellowship posts for future leaders in dementia research. Choose from posts in @ucl and QMUL (including with me) eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%…
