In an international, randomized trial involving patients with acute venous thromboembolism, the risk of clinically relevant bleeding was significantly lower with apixaban than with rivaroxaban during the 3-month treatment period.

To again paraphrase Nigel Tufnel...
"How much more dark could this be? And the answer is none. None more dark."
Yet more horrifying nonsense...👇

#AHA25: VITAL-AF trial: Stressor-associated atrial fibrillation (AF) carries similar risks of stroke, bleeding, and death as primary AF ; yet patients are less likely to receive oral anticoagulation, even when stroke risk is high. https://ahajrnls.org/4nJRQJQ
JAMA Internal Medicine details a study on Liraglutide for acute minor ischemic stroke with type 2 diabetes. It includes population data (405 men, 231 women), intervention details, findings of stroke recurrence within 90 days, and a cumulative incidence graph.
Liraglutide addition for Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes and minor AIS or high-risk TIA reduced 90-day stroke recurrence and improved functional outcomes. ja.ma/43NALaM
Great to have collaborated with two outstanding learners on this Clinical Image case, showcasing a rare complication of a common condition.
This was such a great "Wicked Problems" session at #ICRE2025 yesterday.
This morning, I read this article from the Psychological Safety newsletter that resonated with the discussion about individual-level solutions for systems-level problems - worth a read!

One sentence horror story: “When he finally took off the armour, there was no one underneath.” 😱😱😱@icreconf.bsky.social #ICRE2025
When we think of see one, do one, teach one - we often think of our skills but how often do we think of it with respect to our behaviour? #ICRE2025
When does vulnerability signal humility and when does it signal weakness? #ICRE2025
Powerful personal narratives from the panel this morning #ICRE2025 @icreconf.bsky.social
As a surgical trainee, you WANT to deal with all the uncertainty, the challenging cases, the struggle. Psychological safety comes from staff trusting that you have the ability to learn from mistakes, and from trainees trusting that staff are there to help them reach their learning goals
How might our culture around EPAs shift feedback towards a performance mindset and shut down authentic feedback conversations? #ICRE2025
How do we as faculty role model uncertainty to our learners - showing that we also don't know everything?
How do we ensure that they feel supported even if they fail? #ICRE2025
There's a big difference between discomfort and distress. What are we making learners feel safe about?
How do we help learners through struggle but make it not feel like a performance? #ICRE2025
Psychological safety doesn't mean feeling comfortable all the time - it means being able to speak up and take interpersonal risks without retribution #ICRE2025
Struggle can help with learning but not all struggle is necessary and not all struggle is productive #ICRE2025
Education isn't about getting rid of uncertainty but embracing it, requiring epistemic humility to recognize what we don't know #ICRE2025
Excited on this plenary on productive struggle, adaptive expertise, and psychological safety - how do we strike the balance that helps us to achieve all three? #ICRE2025 @icreconf.bsky.social
"How do we address times when there is a lack of insight or self-awareness in learners?" #ICRE2025

🚨Dear Canadian Resident Physicians🚨
Please check out this study my team and I are doing related to how resident voices are included within residency program leadership 👇
screen shot of the citation page from pubmed for "Neurologic sequelae after treatment of severe hyponatremia: a multicenter perspective" the linked article in the post
In 1988, The ASN sent a letter to every member asking them to submit cases of patients with a sodium < 105. They received 64 letters and produced a case series of 56 patients. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8025225/
This is a poster child for recall bias yet has been referenced over 100 times
