@AndyGoode10 Itoje need to go! Adding zero value as a leader from this armchair critic

Borthwick out simples

Maybe Itoje needs to be dropped. As Captain. As a player. The team looks lost!

Scotland should be beating France. A TMO shouldn’t get to call a play that the ref missed several cycles ago. An intentional headbutt should be a red. This is ridiculous. Scotland are playing epic rugby

Great week at @MSKCancerCenter . Thanks to the Department of Plastic Surgery - Attendings and Fellows were warm, welcoming and full of enthusiasm for all things reconstructive microsurgery!

Advertising for a Plastic Surgery (CT1/2 equivalent) doctor to join us immediately at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford until February 2025. Closing date Friday so get in quick! ouh.nhs.uk/working-for-us/

Wachusetts mountain. Cycling from Boston to Provincetown then getting the ferry back! A bit far from New Haven but still worth the excellent weather and fun!

@RobearPierre @YaleCancer @yalepathology @aitken_lab @clarnedo @_HAN1999 @MRC_TU @Cambridge_SBS @Cambridge_Uni @YaleMed @MuschenLab @DrEricWiner @YaleGenetics Excellent news! Any particular favourite trails...?

It is official: My lab and I are moving to @YaleCancer Center in December! Very excited to be joining the Center of Molecular and Cellular Oncology and @YalePathology Want to be part of @aitken_lab 2.0? We are hiring at all levels - so get in touch! [1/5]

@WestWingWeekly @endabxls @JoshMalina You are back as a Podcast….?

@endabxls @JoshMalina We'll be posting new episodes each week this fall.

Our podcast episode on The American President just came out! It's the opening entry in the TWWW Political Film Fest. Join our Patreon to listen as we discuss the film: the highs, the lows, and all the ways it prefigured The West Wing. patreon.com/posts/american…

Anyone know anyone at @MassEyeAndEar to organise observerships in Head and Neck Recon…? @HarvardPlastics

@armyemdoc @Cresilon I mean I personally have made an alginate-chitosan hydrogel and seen how effective it is as a haemostat. So that’s my ‘data’/lived experience. They came out of an NYU lab . Hold on I ll go digging

@RobearPierre @Cresilon Pretty effective, what data? There's no data published in it under Traumagel or Vetigel. If you have studies, I'd be interested in reading them.

I've received a number of questions about Traumagel from @Cresilon. Here's my two cents based on what's public so far: -This was FDA cleared, NOT FDA approved. There's a difference. It went through the 510k pathway, which means it was cleared as a device and not as a drug. I'm not clear as to what they cited as their predicate device. More important, the FDA did not view the gel contents as a drug. -There's zero publications on PubMed when you search "Traumagel" or "Cresilon hemostatic" -They only state that it's a plant-based proprietary hydrogel, unknown what the mechanism of action is. Since it was a plant-based compound, the FDA likely has no oversight of the hemostatic, though this information is not public so that's just an educated guess. I remain skeptical on the performance of this device. I would not recommend use of this for major hemorrhage until large-animal or clinical data is published. cresilon.com/2024/08/15/cre… #emergency #emergencymedicine #criticalcare #icu #erlife #iculife #science #army #armymedicine #armyemdoc #resuscitation #research #data #trauma #medx #medtwitter

@armyemdoc @Cresilon I mean bonding chitosan to an aliginate polymer in a hydrogel format as they have done is a pretty effective (and simple )haemostat without anything more complex...

@RobearPierre @Cresilon That's been modified in a way that isn't shared

@mbailey87 Well Done @mbailey87 . 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Honoured to be asked to speak about kids sporting knee injuries at what looks set to be an awesome day!

Really hope @GaryLineker or @alanshearer take the England job for no salary. Given they were sooo critical of @GarethSouthgate. Really look forward to them easily doing better and building a cohesive inclusive environment, as they made it sound easily. ridiculous.

Controversial armchair opinion - Southgate has been a great manager that has built a strong team. Certain former England players should be much more supportive of him. Given the fact he’s taken England further in any tournament than any recent England player
