Why do we treat strep throat? Strep throat resolves on its own without treatment. The primary reason it is treated is bc the risk of rheumatic heart disease after untreated strep is greater than the risk of antibiotics. Everything in medicine is a risks vs benefits equation.

#medfacts Sociopathic people can often be quite charming in person. It actually is a characteristic of the condition. Stalin, Mao, and Hitler were all people that you would probably like if you happened to meet them at a coffee shop and didn‘t know who they were, which is disturbing.

#medfacts New evidence suggests that cefdinir is associated with a greatly increased rate of treatment failure when empirically used for uncomplicated UTI compared to cephalexin. Urinary excretion of cefdinir is ~20% vs ~90% for cephalexin.

#medfacts A commonly unrecognized cause of hypomagnesemia — too low serum mangnesium levels? Proton pump inhibitor drugs (drugs with a name that ends in “-prazole”). Other common causes include heavy alcohol intake, diuretic drugs, diarrheal illnesses, and nutritional insufficiency.

#medfacts Clostridiodes dificile colitis is an aggressive infection of the colon caused (usually) by antibiotics killing off the normal bowel bacteria and allowing C. diff to grow unchecked. Severe cases can necessitate removal of the colon or treatment via transplant of healthy donor stool.

#MedFacts All drugs are a risk vs benefits equation. That includes OTC drugs and supplements. Examples: NSAIDs like ibuprofen: great anti-inflammatory; can cause ulcers and kidney damage. PPIs like Nexium: great GERD relief; increase risk of pneumonia and osteoporosis.

Is my kid with asthma “on steroids?” Quite possibly, but they are anti-inflammatory steroids, not anabolic steroids. ”Steroids” are a broad class of biological molecules. Made from cholesterol. Natural examples include estrogen, testosterone, cortisol, and a lot of others. #medfacts

The pathophysiology of a knockout? Well, the physiology of consciousness isn’t fully understood, so… But in a nutshell, a hard blow to the head probably disrupts the reticular activating system (RAS) in the brainstem —> knock out. #medfacts #ufc #boxing

There is an old adage in medicine, “never be the first or the last to make use of a new drug.” Suzetrigine is probably going to be useful. It probably also has side-effects that we don’t know about yet. And it is new, which also means expensive, at the moment. #medfacts #science #medicine

A novel pain medication recently approved by the FDA, suzetrigine is a non-opioid drug that blocks pain signals peripherally, at the nerves at the site of the pain, rather than in the spinal cord or in the brain. A sodium channel blocker, it shouldn’t be habit-forming. #medfacts #medicine
