We aim to answer two key questions: ✅ Do these alerts improve sepsis care? ✅ Who should receive them? Huge thanks to our amazing collaborators across @Columbia , @WeillCornell , @nyphospital and more!

Excited to share our protocol paper in BMJ Open describing the SEPTIC trials — pragmatic, multicenter RCTs testing whether interruptive SIRS-based EHR alerts improve timely sepsis care. And will be even more excited to share the trial results shortly. bmjopen.bmj.com/content/15/8/e…

🚨🇺🇸 THE SHADOW GOVERNMENT: HOW BIDEN'S HANDLERS RAN AMERICA While Democrats rage against Elon's "unelected influence" for exposing wasteful spending, a recent bombshell report reveals an unprecedented usurpation of executive power: Biden's presidency has been largely run by proxies, with cabinet members rarely gaining direct access to their commander-in-chief. Even Treasury Secretary Yellen – traditionally one of the most important cabinet positions – was kept at arm's length, forced to communicate through intermediaries. Defense Secretary Austin's regular briefings became increasingly rare, even as wars erupted in Ukraine and Gaza. Cabinet members stopped requesting presidential access altogether, knowing such requests would be denied. This wasn't mere delegation – it was institutional coverup. Where Obama actively engaged with his cabinet to debate policy, Biden's team created an impenetrable barrier of handlers who issued top-down directives with little presidential involvement. Yet when Elon used X's transparency to trim a 1,547-page spending bill to 118 pages, these same Democrats decried his "shadow" influence. The hypocrisy is staggering – Washington would rather have unelected staffers secretly running the executive branch than face public scrutiny of its bloated spending. The message is clear: the establishment will protect its own while fighting those who dare to lift the veil.

These observations are based on mathematical modeling. Data from patients and additional research are needed to confirm these findings. Also, we did not model immunosuppressed patients. In the mean time, please follow the advice of your doctor and take Paxlovid as directed! 6/6

Our modeling shows longer duration of Paxlovid treatment does not prevent rebound. Initiating Paxlovid treatment a few days later (a few days after symptom onset) does prevent rebound. However, the patient's immune system is already clearing the virus at this point. 5/6

In conclusion, patients hospitalized with #covid19 with sudden cardiac death had lower RMSSD and smaller adrenal gland size than patients who died without sudden cardiac death. These exploratory findings need to be replicated in other cohorts.

We also wondered whether adrenal insufficiency could be playing a role in the sudden cardiac death. Adrenal size was significantly smaller in the sudden cardiac death group (while all other organ weights were similar).
