Doppler tell us when to remove fluids in the ICU.
Discontinuous IRVF = 4× higher success in deresuscitation, with 87% S.
VExUS 2–3 is Sp but not S.
IRVF = a real-time marker of readiness, not long-term outcomes.

Autism Is Not One Disorder, New Data Show Autism diagnosed early differs genetically and developmentally from autism identified later, challenging the theory that it is a single, uniform condition.

Behind the test results and research papers are biomedical scientists. They are the disease detectives, the lab innovators, and the unsung heroes connecting scientific discovery to patient care.
#BiomedicalScience #MedSci #Laboratory #HealthcareHeroes

Biomedical scientists play a crucial role in healthcare, bridging the gap between laboratory research and patient care. They analyze samples, conduct tests, and provide insights that help diagnose diseases and monitor health conditions.
#BiomedicalScience #MedSci #Laboratory #HealthcareHeroes

Biomedical scientists are the highly skilled detectives of the healthcare world, solving medical mysteries one sample at a time. Their work in pathology, microbiology, hematology, and biochemistry is absolutely vital for patient care.

Patients whose physiological parameters are increasingly incompatible with life are more likely to die. #Revelations101 #MedSci

Ever thanked a biomedical scientist today?
While doctors are the heroes on the front lines, biomedical scientists are the masterminds behind the scenes. They're the ones in the lab, tirelessly working to understand disease at a cellular level.

Comparative Efficacy of Retrograde Pubic Ramus Intramedullary Nails and Percutaneous Cannulated Screws in Treating Anterior Pelvic Ring Fractures

Scientists compared the effectiveness of RPRIN and PCS in the treatment of anterior pelvic ring fractures and revealed that RPRIN fixation offers significant advantages, such as shorter operation time, reduced #fluoroscopic time, and decreased blood loss. #medsky #MedSci

I get the sentiment but it’s a stupid example. Botox was not ‘invented’ in the US, only commercialised there. It was ‘discovered’ in Belgium and ‘evolved’ somewhere else (?Pangea). #MedSci 🧪

Efficacy of open-label placebos for premenstrual syndrome: a randomised controlled trial Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of open-label placebos (OLP) in premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Design Randomised controlled trial. Setting Switzerland, 2018–2020. Participants 150 women (18–45 years of age) with PMS or premenstrual dysphoric disorder. Intervention Random assignment (1:1:1) to treatment as usual (TAU), OLP without treatment rationale (OLP–), or OLP with treatment rationale (OLP+). OLP consisted of two placebo pills per day for 6 weeks. Main outcome measures Primary outcomes were PMS symptom intensity and interference between groups across three menstrual cycles (MC1–MC3); adverse events (ie, safety) were measured at weeks 3 and 6 after the start of the intervention. Secondary outcomes were psychological and somatic subscales of PMS symptom intensity, and adherence. Results From 2 August 2018 to 3 December 2020, 150 women were randomly allocated to TAU (n=50), OLP– (n=50), and OLP+ (n=50), of whom 145 (96.7%) completed trial participation. Groups differed in symptom intensity (F(4)=4.419, p=0.002, r2=0.16) and interference (F(4)=3.159, p=0.014, r2=0.13) across three MCs. Mean symptom intensity at MC3 was lower for OLP+ compared to TAU (b=–9.97, SE=2.85, t(412)=3.50, p<0.001, d=0.90) and to OLP– (b=–6.10, SE=2.89, t(411)=2.11, p=0.036, d=0.55), but OLP– and TAU did not differ (b=–3.87, SE=2.87, t(411)=1.35, p=0.177, d=0.35). Mean interference at MC3 was lower for OLP+ compared to TAU (b=–1.23, SE=0.54, t(443)=2.30, p=0.022, d=0.55) and to OLP– (b=–1.10, SE=0.54, t(442)=2.02, p=0.044, d=0.48), but OLP– and TAU did not differ (b=–0.14, SE=0.54, t(442)=0.26, p=0.799, d=0.06). Four non-serious adverse events were reported in OLP– (n=1) and OLP+ (n=3). Improvement in psychological and somatic symptom intensity was comparable to primary outcomes. Adherence to the OLP intervention was high (93.18±18.95%), with no difference between groups. Conclusions The results of our clinical trial indicate that OLP provided with a treatment rationale is an effective, safe, and acceptable treatment for PMS. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov [NCT03547661][1] (submitted 2 May 2018). Data are available in a public, open access repository. Meta-data is openly accessible on the data repository Harvard Dataverse. Upon reasonable request, relevant anonymised participant-level data will be made available.

Great idea. Would suggest hosts are patients, their MDs & the scientists whose work has helped them live a higher quality of life and avoid early death.
