@kritisoni50 @UConnIM Congratulations!!! Welcome to UCONN 🐺

@ladha_parth Congratulations!!!!

Good news - I matched! Grateful. Eagerly waiting for Friday :) #NRMP2026 #ERAS2026 #Neurology

Today I learned sepsis causes thrombocytopenia because bacteria express neuraminidase, a virulence factor that cleaves sialic acid from host cells allowing for greater adherence to cell surface. When platelets get desialylated they get cleared by kupfer cells in the liver.

@aryandevmehta @BrownCardiology @SarasVallabhMD @UGrewalMD @bansal_mridul9 Congratulations! 🔥

Excited to share that I matched at @BrownCardiology for fellowship. Couldn’t be more thrilled! Extremely grateful to my family, friends, and mentors! Special thanks to @SarasVallabhMD, whose guidance and support has not only shaped my career, but the physician I strive to become!

@KanikaSehgal_ @VUMChealth @TradIMYale Congratulations Kanika! ❤️ so happy for you!

So grateful to have couples matched at our #1 @VUMChealth 😭❤️ Innumerable people to thank through this process! @TradIMYale

My 12-Step Thrombocytopenia Workup 🧵 (Not Medical Advice) 1. Review baseline counts first. Rule out pseudothrombocytopenia. 2. Evaluate for critical conditions: TTP, HIT, or DIC? • Assess heparin exposure - Calculate 4T score. • Peripheral smear for schistocytes. • Check LDH/Haptoglobin/Bilirubin, PT/aPTT/Fibrinogen. 3. Assess for acute leukemia or bone marrow involvement? • Examine peripheral smear for abnormal/neoplastic cells. • Consider imaging if clinically indicated. • Do we need a bone marrow exam? 4. Active life-threatening bleeding? Do we need a platelet transfusion? 5. Review drug-induced thrombocytopenia. Always consult latest literature for implicated medications. 6. Investigate secondary causes: • Nutritional deficiencies: B12, Folate, Copper, Zinc. • Infections: HIV, Hepatitis, CMV, EBV, HSV (clinically guided). • Sepsis leading to DIC. • Endocrine disorders: TSH, Free T4. 7. Review imaging for cirrhosis/splenomegaly. If inconclusive, obtain abdominal ultrasound. 8. Consider mechanical causes: Dialysis/ECMO/IABP/cardiopulmonary bypass/artificial heart valve? 9. Evaluate pregnancy-related disorders: HELLP, AFLP, gestational thrombocytopenia. 10. Assess for autoimmune conditions if clinically warranted. Consider SLE and other rheumatological diseases. 11. Consider rare but serious differentials: • CAPS, other TMA causes, PNH • Post-transfusion purpura, HLH • Pursue only with appropriate clinical suspicion 12. If no clear etiology identified, consider ITP as diagnosis of exclusion. 📋 Key Clinical Considerations: • Critically ill patients frequently have multifactorial thrombocytopenia [A combination of some of the above]. • Primary HLH presenting de novo in adults is exceedingly rare. • Thrombocytopenia with thrombosis: Consider DIC, TTP, HIT, PNH, or VITT.

@mhjrad @Torsadepointles you’re not ready for this

residency applicant: buys a ring light, ensures the webcam is eye level, dresses their best, thoughtfully designs their interview background residency interviewer:

A group of residents, medical students, and I created a HemOnc podcast tailored to trainees! Introducing — All Things HemOnc @allthingshemonc 🩸 HemOnc made simple — for trainees, by trainees 🎙️ A podcast with expert guests and real talk ✨ The lessons we wish someone told us 🎧 Spotify link in bio and comments We’ll cover the consults everyone trips on, the “scary-but-not-so-scary” HemOnc emergencies, IM board-style questions, patient stories, and career talks — breaking it all down the way we wish we’d learned it. 🩸 Our first episode — “Thrombocytopenia” — is out now on Spotify! 🎧✨ Ever stared at a platelet count of 30k thinking, “😱 What do I do?” Wondered if it’s TTP or HIT? 🤔 Or hesitated at 3 AM, “Should I call Heme?” 📞 We got you covered in under 12 minutes! 🙌 In this episode, we invited Dr. Ritika Vankina, a core faculty of Hematology/Oncology at UConn, to share her approach for thrombocytopenia. Thrombocytopenia is the most common inpatient Hematology consult — and knowing how to triage it is key, especially on night shift or in the ICU 🌙🏥 In this episode: Guest: Ritika Vankina, MD, MPH Hosts: Amy Huang, PGY3 & Sukhmani Sidhu, PGY2 Writers: Amy Huang & Mai Salem, PGY2 Editor: Shaharia Ferdaus Addendum: When triaging DIC, consider the degree of cytopenia, clinical picture, and diagnostic confidence. If it is DIC with active bleeding, please consult hematology! Disclaimer : The views expressed are our own and not representative of any institution and should not be taken as health advice.

@PaladiyaRuchir Congratulations, chief! 💪🏼

If I could say something to my younger self growing up in a small town in India, watching my father care for his patients, I would tell him to keep going and never stop learning. Deeply grateful for the ABIM certification in Internal Medicine; a reflection of years of learning, mentorship, and purpose. I owe this to the incredible mentors who shaped my journey, starting with the mentors who wrote a letter of recommendation for my internal medicine residency to my IM residency family at @UConnIM @rnardino, @BipinSavani, Dr Michael Porayko, @_NatalieMcCall, @javo_neyra

Hot off the press! Happy to share our paper that explores how #AI and #ML can help predict histological subtypes of non-small cell lung cancers based on CT imaging. Future implications: potentially avoid invasive testing and expedite life saving therapy 👉🏼 doi.org/10.1016/j.ejso…
