@avinashkunnath Steve’s BBQ was there for me in 1984. I’m there for Steve in 2025.

Cal fam, if these are your two options, what are you picking RT for Thai Basil 🔁 Favorite for Steve’s Korean ❤️

@LombardiHimself Can you do a podcast discussing salary cap implications for players like Ayouk or Samuel should they never reach their pre-contract performance levels? I know it depends on many factors but how does Lynch balance “team friendly” variables with what a player requires to stay.

This is how much $$ De’Vondre Campbell might lose for quitting on 49ers x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@CalRivals Can’t believe Rogers showed up. He always says, “Butte College” when announcing his alma mater.

@PatMcAfeeShow We didn’t get it done. But for a day you made us feel like a football school. Thank you.

WHO ARE WE… 🗣️🗣️CAL 🗣️🗣️ROLL BEARS WHAT A MORNING IN BERKELEY #CollegeGameDay

@PeteThamel @CalFootball @CollegeGameDay As an alum the students made me so proud. ❤️

Wow, ⁦@CalFootball⁩. Just wow. What an atmosphere for ⁦@CollegeGameDay⁩.

@reynojohn @CalFootball So many to choose from that’s saying a lot.

FINAL: Miami 39, Cal 38 #GoBears | #ALLIN

@Super70sSports All I see is Steve Rhodes and the kid from Silverspoons…

Absolute travesty this show only lasted one season. Young Jason Bateman was bringing it strong. Some of you know.

@journeycancer @teachseuss @bfhermann @NEJM Whether one agrees with him or not, as a father, you handled his comments with as much grace as is humanly possible. Much respect.

@teachseuss @bfhermann @NEJM I disagree. He’s engaged. Our opinions are formed by our experiences, both factual and interpreted. And informed opinions drift with new information. Sometimes new information changes hearts and minds. Sometimes not. Either is fine. But thanks for your sensitivity.

.@bfhermann My daughter, a surgical resident, spent 5 days in ICU after a suicide attempt. Our experience was published in @NEJM in Feb 2023 “Looking After Our Own” Physician suicide rate is twice the general population. My conclusion is our culture is partly to blame.

Rarely, an acute Type A dissection can propagate to the right axillary artery. When this occurs, best to have alternate cannulation strategies in mind, particularly when repair will require lengthier DHCA times commensurate with total arch replacements. #aortaEd #ATAAD #aortic

@AortaSurg @ADsept19 Well done! Sometimes you know when you’re doing a dissection that your dictation of the op note will take longer than the circ arrest time :)

Sexagenarian with acute Stanford type A/DeBakey type I #aorticdissection with primary intimal tear in the aortic arch, treated with emergent right axillary artery cannulation, aortic valve repair by aortic valve resuspension x 3, felt patch reinforcement of the non-coronary and right-coronary sinuses of Valsalva, subcommissural plication x 3, and ascending aortic + zone 2 arch replacement with frozen elephant trunk, aorto-innominate artery / aorta-left common carotid artery Y-graft, and island patch reimplantation of left subclavian artery #aortaed

@AshleyEProsper I was wondering if there was something inherent to R-L that led to more rapid deterioration in valve function that brought these patients to medical attention but this article gives a much more scientific explanation :)

@MurrayKwonMD From what I understand the L-R fusions are more commonly an endocardial cushion abnormality and the others arise during outflow tract septation but that doesn’t help me understand the differences in frequency 🤷🏾‍♀️ sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

By far the most common bicuspid aortic valve is the so called Sievert 1 with L-R fusion. I personally have not seen a Sievert 0 during SAVR & perhaps only 2-3 of the other S1 classifications. S2? Forget it. Any thoughts as to why? #bicuspid #bav #SAVR #sts

@CalFootball @CalAthletics @BRDriscoll78 @TrondGrizzell @JackEndries The epitome of perseverance. So proud of all of you!

@DrThawaba No harm in telling them to get screening TTE and/or abdominal ultrasounds. Non invasive peace of mind.

Another issue: Her mom and grandmother died suddenly mostly of acute type A (mom operated twice), one aunt has cerebral berry aneurysm (any association?). Have 4 sisters and a son, any screening/surveillance protocol ?

Would you treat this type B dissection? #aortaEd @farkomd @ShereneShalhub @DrAliAzizzadeh @MISIRG1

@DrThawaba @mohamedvivi Always see FL thrombosis as a welcome sign. First step to stabilization of dissected aorta. This blood is coming from below. I would be more concerned if FL growth were in setting of blood coming antegrade from arch and remaining open through flow through distal tears.

Partial thrombosis in false lumen as well? @mohamedvivi

@DrThawaba @ADsept19 @farkomd @ShereneShalhub @DrAliAzizzadeh @MISIRG1 I’ve seen aneurysm size plateau after initial early growth. But, she’s symptomatic and you allude to potential familial CTD. Blood enters FL from re entry tears in distal DTA, perirenally, and left CIA. Might start with distal DTA stent to block off some FL flow & go from there?

@SmidtHeart @TheJHLT @MKIttlesonMD @CedarsSinai @CedarsSinaiMed Congratulations Michelle. Well deserved.

@SmidtHeart is pleased to announce that our very own @MkittlesonMD has been appointed Interim Editor-In-Chief for the prestigious Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation! @TheJHLT @CedarsSinai @CedarsSinaiMed cedars-sinai.org/provider/miche…

@CalFootball ❤️

A special shoutout to Chris Fatilua, a member of our 2018 recruiting class, who suffered a severe spinal injury in a swimming accident just weeks before he was to arrive at Cal. Chris was told by the doctor who performed surgery to fix his fractured spine that she had never had a patient walk again after the procedure, but Chris told her "I'm going to be your first." Not only did he walk again, but last Saturday he graduated from Cal. Congrats, Chris! Your story is one of tremendous determination and perseverance. @chrisfatilua43 | #CalGrad 🎓

@JeffFaraudo Greatly looking forward to this series!

Our new series, The Cal 100, begins today with someone you probably didn't know began his career as an athlete for the Golden Bears: si.com/college/cal/ot…
