Really happy this is out. Looks pretty consistent with respect to pcr in the context of io. I really believe this should be an acceptable primary endpoint in future io trials

This is FUCKING INSANE Trump's ICE goons detained a Canadian actress because of confusion over a work visa for TWO WEEKS - shackled, thrown in a van, sent to AZ, kept awake, not allowed to contact a lawyer theguardian.com/us-news/2025/m…

Weekend surgical history 🧵 The Lebsche knife is used to cut across the sternum for clamshell thoracotomy. We will briefly look at it, but mostly we'll look at the life of Max Lebsche, who was so old-school and hardcore that he was able to tell *the Nazis* to get bent. (1/ )

Weekend surgical history 🧵 History does not remember Margaret Louden FRCS, who was one of the first female surgeons in the UK. We will try to remedy this. Louden worked at the South London Hospital for Women and Children, and cared for >5000 casualties of the 'Blitz'. (1/ )

It is February and we are reaching the Chief Resident Solstice…the time of year that surgical chief residents approach the absolute minimum number of f**** given. Time moves slower near the Chief Resident Solstice than at any other time in one’s life. (it does end, eventually)

Check out this awesome new study by the spatial biologists @McGillGCI led by @LysDesharnais @sorin_mark and PI @loganawalsh! Few studies provide such detail contrasting the spatial TME of LUSC and LUAD: the two dominant NSCLC histologies! nature.com/articles/s4146…

My 🤍 is full @BalvardiS !! So nice to see you shining in fellowship @AdventHealth Colorectal Surgery! An all-star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ @McGColorectal @mcgillGenSx @McGillGenSurg #OCC2024 @MarkSoliman

@EM_RESUS Agreed! One of my seniors (R3 then) did one on a extremely obese patient in septic shock in whom the US could not penetrate deep enough to visualize the femoral and IJ. No one else knew what to do/felt comfortable doing a blind subclavian. Very valuable. I think easier without US

I don’t care what anyone says, the blind subclavian central line is a very powerful one—especially in trauma. It’s becoming a lost art in the era of ultrasound, be we should never let it die.

Very proud of @ncaminsky presenting on rectal cancer survivorship: 3/4 rectal cancer survivors have at least 1 moderate/severe unmet need significantly impacting QoL EQ5D ☹️ @mcgillGenSx @McGColorectal @CIUSSS_COMTL #CSF2024 #CSCRS

Congratulations @evanwongMDCM on your research program focused on improving trauma care for the Inuit Population in Quebec funded by your @CAGS_ACCG operating grant award 👏 @mcgillGenSx @McGillDeptSurg @CIUSSS_COMTL @CAGS_Residents @auer_r

Congratulations on a highly impactful paper in @JAMANetworkOpen showing that universal genetic screening a) works and b) impacts care in patients with #breastcancer @stephaniemwong 🎉🎉 @LDI_ILD @mcgillsurgery

"As a surgical discipline, I hope that we can get past the belief that we do not have enough qualified women to serve." Read this editorial from JAMA Surgery Editor @kibbemr. ja.ma/3MCcbAU

So thrilled to have @RousseauMC join our team @MThoracics @mcgillsurgery! Tremendous opportunity for us to grow as a group and for our fellows to benefit from his approach and experience! @ThoracicsCanada

Welcome home @Garfinkle_R !!

@Roy__Hajjar @med_umontreal Bravo Roy! Bonne continuation!

La fin d'un chapitre et le début d'un autre Merci @med_umontreal pour l'honneur de recevoir la Médaille académique d'or du Gouverneur général du Canada, et de prononcer l'allocution des diplômé(e)s de 3e cycle A chapter ending and a new one beginning Thank you @med_umontreal, really honored to receive the Canada Governor General's Gold Academic Medal and to give the valedictorian address

@dieworkwear **Duke of Windsor, apologies!

@dieworkwear at other types of formal/semi formal wear, such as the morning suit, the black lounge/stroller? And check out I Sarti Toscani (sartitoscani.it) where we had the suit made, cannot say enough good things about this experience. (2/2)

Kids never get it wrong. And even when they style clothes in a slightly off way, it only looks more awesome. But here is a guide on how adults can match patterns. 🧵
