Greta question for IM residents!

I'm on a panel on Wednesday Nov 3. Register to attend!

A tribute to my mentor and friend Dr. Fisseha Ibsa, who passed away yesterday. A paragon of compassion, not only to his primary care patients but his colleagues and residents as well (I was lucky to be both), he was an integral part of AuroraIM and will be remembered fondly.

1/15 Why is torsemide my preferred loop diuretic when treating heart failure? As a follow-up to a recent tweetorial on furosemide and gut edema, let me offer a 3-part ode to torsemide.

1/🧵 Why does chronic alcohol use cause macrocytosis? Alcohol's ability to enlarge red blood cells (RBCs) has puzzled me ever since I learned about this association, but assumed it somehow poisons the bone marrow. The answer is not so simple. #medtwitter #tweetorial

Nice tweetorial on SGLT2 inhibitors (gliflozins), which are proving to be excellent HF drugs (HFpEF included) not to mention CKD. Perhaps DM2 without comorbidities will prove be its weakest indication…

More evidence that we should avoid leaving IVC filters in place for long - and the longer we wait, the harder they are to retrieve.

Any interesting trials about type, dose or route of diuretics for acute decompensated heart failure (other than DOSE)? TRANSFORM-HF should be interesting whenever they have preliminary data. Muthu Vaduganathan Ravi Patel

Great work Xiaoxiao! Xiaoxiao Qian

Love me a Tweetorial that is applicable to IM, hematology, and cardiology. Nice work Nick!

I can’t imagine a better choice for the job. Congratulations Sameer!

1/ Rounding on the cardiology service this week with Fuad Jan at Advocate Aurora Health St. Luke’s Medical Center where we saw a case of Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD). Let us review #SCAD together! A 🧵 #tweetorial

This is a fascinating thread & meta analysis. Great work by Jeff Ryckman and colleagues

It's fitting that with the start of the new academic year, we introduce our newest The Fellow On Call Team Members! This incredible group of residents & H/O fellows from across the country share in our passion for #MedEd. We could not be more proud & excited to welcome them aboard!

This is a really great episode - hearing about what it’s like for a physician to get a cancer diagnosis and go through the treatment process was really informative and something I’ll keep in mind going forward for all of my patients

#JCOPO study demonstrates that Pembrolizumab leads to a durable response in an ultra-hypermutated, high-grade, #glioma with complete radiological response that was sustained for more than 2 years. ➡️ brnw.ch/21wHu49 @Dan_Mundt #btsm

Congrats on the Rush Excellence in Clinic Service award Jenna Nikolaides!

Proud to be part of the The Fellow On Call team that organized this trial. More evidence that the podcast is one of the very best learning resources out there!

TFOC was my favorite learning resource as a first year fellow and it just keeps getting better. I’m grateful and proud to be a part of the team and contribute to a project that I’ve benefited so much from. I’m thrilled to help it grow even more!
