This paper was retracted from the @nejm.org because the images of bronchial branching after smoke inhalation were obviously and transparently manipulated by generative AI. Look at the ruler. I don't even know what lesson to draw from this. www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/...

I don't understand the relationship between CO and ETCO2. ETCO2 increases with rising CO, if ventilation and CO2 production is constant. Is this just temporary? We can't exhale more CO2 than we produce. #anSky #medSky @doctorhelgi.bsky.social @load-dependent.bsky.social @jm-l.bsky.social

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

Absolutely fascinating! We know the heart switches to lactate as energy substrate in shock, could there be a clinical benefit from lactate infusion in human cardiogenic shock? #emimcc #cccsky

Lactate infusion enhances cardiac output and peripheral perfusion in ischemic cardiogenic shock without affecting heart rate or systemic blood pressure, finds a study published in Critical Care. #MedSky

My cardiac arrhythmia simulation now also simulates how a reentrant loop can be terminated by increasing refractory time as suggested by @empoisonpharmd.bsky.social Direct link to the updated part: jenevoldsen.com/posts/excita...

I just want to say I use this constantly at the bedside when dealing with patients who have arrythmias to explain how they propagate. would LOVE LOVE a model where increasing refractory terminates reentrant rhythm so I can show how diltiazem terminates SVT. such an amazing tool, thank you

✨ It's new samwho visual essay o'clock! ✨ Reservoir sampling is one of my favourite algorithms. It allows you to sample from a set without knowing the size of that set. I try to assume no prior knowledge, and use no scary math notation. Just beautiful visuals. Let me know what you think! ❤️

Where I could really see a place for LLMs in medicine right now, is not for decision-making, but for understanding a patient's medical records in a reasonable time. - Find plans for this admission, that were never followed up upon. - Give a short review of the pt's medical history. ...

Maarten van Smeden@maartenvsmeden.bsky.social · last yr.

For everyone thinking that we simply tell doctors they should *not* use LLMs for decision making and that they will listen to that, just look at these numbers: "76% of respondents reported using general-purpose LLMs in clinical decision-making" www.fiercehealthcare.com/special-repo...

The Hypotension-Prediction Index--a convoluted way of predicting hypotension by...checking whether the MAP is low--fails once again. Shocker. "HPI-guided hemodynamic therapy did not reduce the incidence of postoperative AKI or overall complications [vs] standard care."

Today, for a brief moment, odds ratios made sense to me. I understood the odds, their ratios. It was beautiful, like catching smoke in the palm of my hand. But that moment is now gone. Like tears in rain. #StatsSky

What do we think about adjusting p-values for safety outcomes for multiple testing, and then claiming no significant harm? Is this common practice? Any papers commenting on the (in)appropriateness? #statsSky @stephensenn.bsky.social @statsepi.bsky.social @f2harrell.bsky.social

My position is, that HPI does not work due to a flaw in its development. I attempt to explain this flaw, as I believe, that if more people understood it, we would not still be having this discussion about HPI. Based a paper with Simon Vistisen journals.lww.com/ejanaesthesi...

#askrenal A patient on hemodialysis and EPO has a hemoglobin of 9 mmol/l (14.5 g/dl). Do you phlebotomize (e.g. dumb dialysis blood) or just reduce EPO? (Is it the Hgb itself or the overtreatment with EPO that increases mortality?)
