“It's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help.
If I say I am Christian, but do these things, I'm a hypocrite."
-Pope Francis

Nice article about the medicalisation of dying
"Death is increasingly seen as a failure, rather than a natural stage of life"

I love @bmj.com Christmas articles 😊
1/ Here are some of the books I read and listened to this past year, mostly in order. Some real gems, as always. “A life without books is a life not lived” Jay Kristoff.
Figure 1. Atrial Fibrillation Stages
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with increased rates of stroke, heart failure, and mortality. This narrative review examines the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of AF.

🫀🫁 The effects of positive pressure ventilation on cardiac preload make it possible to easily detect responsiveness using different tests/indices. They enable to personalize therapeutic strategy according to patient's physiology, improving outcome.

Dilemma = a situation in medical practice where ethical principles or values come into conflict, and competing interests must be balanced, making it challenging to determine the morally correct course of action.

I love love LOVE scanning the heart 😍, but when it comes to bang for your buck for ultrasound novices, lung ultrasound is such a winner 🏆
It's time for another #POCUS basics #skeetorial 🧵
Let's talk about common pitfalls in #LungUltrasound and how to correct these ✔️

BLUESKY MEGA-THREAD
Altmetric is thrilled and also LITERALLY RELIEVED to officially announce:
We are now tracking research attention as it happens on Bluesky!
We have been picking up posts on the site since late Oct.
Our team is on Bluesky all day answering questions.
Let's get into it!
A must read for intensivists/ECMOlogists out there.
Shared definitions and clear physiology are the basis of good clinical practice.

This is a really interesting study on #LungUltrasound for pneumothorax.
TLDR: LUS significantly underperformed CXR for detection of traumatic PTX, with high specificity (99%) but very low sensitivity (27%).
I have a few thoughts 🧵 -
In a certain sense, he did buy the elections, so no surprise he’s behaving as co-president
Everything you always wanted to know about physiology and technologies of pulse wave analysis, but never dared to ask 😊

Legalizing medically assisted death, but forcing people to ingest a cocktail of drugs, rather than providing safe venous access and a professional to perform and oversee the procedure, is profoundly hypocritical and unfair
