SMH, even the Lincoln Children’s Museum is teaching that the CT is part of the basic physical exam now.

I’m begging doctors to read even one piece of speculative fiction. There were people writing about how this was a terrible idea before I was born.

Congratulations to University of Kentucky College of Medicine medical student Lee Kiefer for repeating her gold medal performance in foil fencing in Paris The Olympic Games!!

Really enjoyed writing this editorial with Daniel Minter on this fascinating study from Steven Tong et al, which suggests TMP-SMX may prevent SAB in patients on HD. We aimed to contextualize these findings and ask: is this something we should do? academic.oup.com/ofid/advance-a…

🔬📊 Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) has a higher mortality rate than many common cancers, including prostate, breast, and melanoma. 🚨 It's time to raise awareness and push for advanced treatments! Congratulations to Alison Michael Ramos Kyle N. Kunze, MD Nicolas S. Piuzzi, MD

I'm looking forward to a productive year leading this phenomenal group as we seek to help patients & doctors prevent, diagnose, treat & understand musculoskeletal infections. Truly an honor. Musculoskeletal Infection Society

Another study has not found use of gentamicin or rifampin associated with survival in staphylococcal PVE, this one much larger than the original work from the 1980s. We should let these patients keep their nephrons and hepatocytes. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39110339/

BREAKING NEWS. The Global Trial Steering Committee has advised trial sites today that we have closed the PSSA and MSSA silo backbone domains on the advice of the DSMC. We await data to become available for analysis. Steven Tong Joshua Davis Todd C. Lee #IDTwitter #IDX

Interesting study in J Int AIDS today- I was taught to think of PI-based ART as the "adherence-forgiving" option, but this 313-pt cohort found viral suppression with DTG was better than non-DTG regimens (and near 95%) at every degree of non-adherence: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39155425/

Thank you Nebraska ID Society and UNMC ID for inviting me to keynote at your annual meeting. Loved discussing the intersection of public health and academia, and sharing the innovative approaches we are taking in St. Louis. So impressed by the quality of posters as a judge too!

Large multinational retrospective analysis of 269 patients with Candida prosthetic joint infections High rate of failure (42%), which did not appear to be linked to immunosuppression, use of azoles, or treatment duration doi.org/10.1093/cid/ci…

In nonpregnant adults, I think of C/G strep as Group B strep's little brother - causing a lot of skin and soft tissue disease and being an semifrequent cause of osteoarticular infection. This study found 1 in 6 C/G BSIs had bone/joint disease: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39008148/

Thank you IDSA HIV Medicine Association for a seat at the table. Patients and communities in the Deep South face tremendous barriers to #EndHIV- it is an honor to represent them and advance clinical care and policy with the best Board of Directors 👏🏻 Lance Okeke
