In a randomized trial involving critically ill patients undergoing intubation in EDs or ICUs, the use of ketamine for the induction of anesthesia did not lead to significantly lower in-hospital mortality than etomidate. Full trial results: nej.md/44EOlxB

Come to Canada
It's happening! Canada launched two programs to recruit international researchers.

Canada Impact+ Research Chairs (1 million/yr for 8 yrs +)
Canada Impact+ Emerging Leaders.

I will do my best to facilitate the process for those interested. Hit me up.

Reminder: tube feeding for the treatment of dementia is nonbeneficial.

Yes, this is counter-intuitive.

But it's been established for decades.

Evidence & guidelines indicate that tube feeding doesn't prolong survival or confer clinical benefit.

Toronto this weekend looks like a scene right out of a Villeneuve movie. Easy on the eyes, rough on the lungs.

Always add that second carb imo
Ultimate biryani war: to potato or not to potato, that is the question.
I wish BlueSky could have more of a global audience so we can have more food wars.

I have experience in the jollof wars and the great gumbo skirmish of 2021

as a pedestrian, i hate cyclists because sometimes they’re assholes and they almost hit me with their bikes. that’s why i support any measure that cuts down on cycling and forces those same assholes to use a 3,000 lb killing machine instead.

fantastic investigator thread about delving deeper into the BALANCE trial (7 vs 14 day antibiotics for bacteremia) to look for heterogeneity of treatment effect 😁

I was allready a BALANCE trial fanboy… this analysis makes it even more appealing. #EMIMCC
Excited to share our newest paper from my PhD: a post-hoc analysis of the BALANCE trial where we explored heterogeneity of treatment effect (HTE) in duration of antibiotic treatment for patients with bloodstream infection. A thread:

a proper investment in healthcare would look like doctors seeing 10 to 12 patients a day instead of 20-40. People don’t trust doctors for many reasons but one common factor is they do not feel like the doctor is listening, which is extremely hard to do in such short visits. AI won’t help.

Sounds like then everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked
The first footage from ‘AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH’ shown at #CinemaCon shows the kids meeting the Wind Traders who travel through the air. They are then attacked by the Ash People who live around volcanos.
