Today, we honor the lives of the 32 students and faculty members who were tragically taken from their loved ones and our community on April 16, 2007. On the 2023 Day of Remembrance, we reflect on the tremendous promise each of them embodied for our world. #VTWeRemember 🧡

Are you using oral or IV vitamin K to reverse INR in patients on warfarin with acute GI🩸? ➡️ Vit K takes 🕰️, w/ reversal (INR <1.3) in 24-48 hrs ➡️ No evidence that Vit K improves outcomes in acute GI🩸 ➡️ Small ⚠️ of thromboembolism #MedEd #GITwitter #emergencymedicine

Word choice in our charting and discourse matter. Stating a patient "refused" a test stigmatizes them as a non-complaint decision. What can you do instead? Use the word "decline" and contextualize their decision. Ask them why.

🗣 invitation for colonoscopy ≠ undergoing the procedure 🗣 “number needed to invite” ≠ number needed to treat 🗣 29% of endoscopist ADR was <25% high-quality colonoscopies prevent CRC. this article is clickbait ⁦@NEJM⁩ why was this published? nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

#TipsForNewDocs Get in the habit of NOT referring to AST/ALT as liver function tests. High AST/ALT -> liver injury. High INR and low albumin -> abnormal liver synthetic function. Right terms --> right interpretation of test results --> right diagnoses. #kittlesonrules

Just seeing this, and I’m confused. What religion believes in allowing people to get a preventable infectious disease, and what employer thinks it’s fiscally prudent to allow employees to contract a disease which will cost them $1/2- 1 million? 🤔

BREAKING: US District Judge Reed O’Connor in Texas rules that requiring employers to provide coverage for PrEP drugs (preventing the transmission of HIV) violates the religious rights of employers under federal law (RFRA).

A young girl & her father enters OPD 14y and is deeply jaundiced Teary eyed, her father requests ONLY one thing "She's advised liver transplant. We are poor. Can you please help us avoid it?" I look at the girl the father & brace myself for the worst case I'd ever seen...

The aim of this retrospective trial was to use national data to examine the characteristics and outcomes of patients hospitalized with overlapping Primary biliary cholangitis and Autoimmune hepatitis (PBC/AIH). @brodgersMD #livertwitter xiahepublishing.com/2310-8819/JCTH…

3. Don't fall for the "naturalistic fallacy" Not everything "natural" is good. Vitamins are medications. Like all meds they have side effects & can be harmful. Just because something is a vitamin doesn't mean a high intravenous dose is beneficial (or safe) in critical illness 7/

Just referenced this tweetorial in an eConsult regarding a urine culture with "only" 20,000 CFU/mL. TL/DR: that 100,000 CFU/mL threshold really isn't so great. But read the whole thing to see why! As usual with @tony_breu, it is superb.

1/16 Why do we use 100,000 CFU/mL as our cut-off for true bacteriuria? This question was posed to me by @BryanCiccarelli The answer has an interesting history so I thought I'd share it here.
