#CHEST2025 (Chicago): Cryobiopsy with robotic bronchoscopy boosts diagnostic yield for GGO lung nodules (87% vs 71%) with similarly low complications—single-center experience. #Bronchoscopy #LungCancer #PulmCCM.

Grateful for mentorship. With Dr. Thomas Meyer at #AAIBP, Austin.

Never a doubt @LewisHamilton.

Hanging out with the pulmonologist #ATS2024

I recently covered our inpatient service for a couple of days. The phrase I never use and I dislike hearing: “I’m just covering.” To a patient, you’re their doctor that day. Own the responsibility & privilege. #MedTwitter #MedX

Can epinephrine cause hypotension? A patient is transferred the ICU with hypotension on 4 mcg/min (.05 mcg/kg/min) epinephrine. Thought to be a GI bleed, resuscitated but was still hypotensive with a HR in the 60s, BP100/40 (60) Takes carvedilol Epi stopped MAP 60->90 🤯 How

@bibotizo @JelenaRnjak @DrMeganLord @UNSW Proud of you!

I finally hit that submit #PhD button!! Super grateful to the incredible support of @JelenaRnjak, @DrMeganLord, the silk team and the #BioMedEng community @UNSW

@MarkDSiegel1 @YaleIMed @YaleIM_Chiefs Visionary and inspiring. Congratulations!

@NephroP 1. AF with RVR causes a different pressure with each beat. Notice whenever diastole is longer the pressure is higher on waveform, mimicking pulsus alternans. 2. Failing RV compresses LV, exaggerates “preload dependence.” Hence the diastolic hypotension and wide pulse pressure.

The greatest there is. The greatest there ever was. The greatest there ever will be.

As a Cardiology fellow, we get a lot of consults for HFpEF. Part 3: Therapy *Not to use as medical advice, just tips, and always discuss with your fellow/attending* -thread 🧵- #MedTwitter #MedEd #Cardiotwitter #IMG

1/ My top trials, AHA 2022 1. TRANSFORM-HF: torsemide vs furosemide in hosp. HF 2. RESPECT EPA: EPA 1.8g/d + statin vs statin alone in stable CAD 3. ISCHEMIA-EXTENDed: interim mortality analysis of ISCHEMIA & ISCHEMIA-CKD at longer f/u 4. EMPA-KIDNEY: empagliflozin vs pbo in CKD
