From Kate DeSear; @cvu_IDPharmD; Veena Venugopalan; Kartik Cherabuddi MD 🆔️🌍; Stacy Voils: Data from 114 pts in a retro cohort study show no difference in outcomes in pts treated with cefepime or pip-tazo vs. carbapenems in fully-susceptible ESBL bloodstream infections. 📄cup.org/3vZggIq

Bactrim is fine for most beta-hemolytic strep, folks. Many of us were taught this one incorrectly because thymidine content in agar unregulated until 2006 so looked resistant in old studies. Appreciate @SDoernberg clearing this one up in 2nd myth busters talk. #IDWeek2022

Motherhood in medicine should be celebrated, not be hidden. We may feel the need to hide our vulnerability. But often times, Our vulnerability is seen as courage by others.

#7: Ikigai. Know your reason for being. Define the reason you get up in the morning. Make it something you are good at, passionate about, and that the world needs. THIS is meaning.

#IDTwitter Do you treat patients? please fill out survey by Annette Westgeest & @VanceFowler5 on management of S. aureus bacteremia.

Vaccines are one of mankind's best inventions. Impact superior to almost anything else.

Eminence based guidance & dogma are difficult to shake even when evidence shows otherwise. Consequences can be dire. “one sudden infant death is a tragedy, two is suspicious and three is murder, unless proven otherwise” nature.com/articles/d4158…

So you look at the study, and there’s around a 15% increase in risk with medical masks, which is “non significant”. Well of course it’s nonsignificant. The study was powered to treat a difference of that size as meaningless.

That would be like an RCT where you randomized people to parachute or no parachute when they jump out of a plane, but the parachute arm can only pull the ripcord after they hit the ground

In the next Explore magazine, we'll meet a UF team working to stop the spread of Hansen's disease — also known as leprosy — in Florida and beyond. What do you want to know about the disease and its prevention? #WorldLeprosyDay

University of Florida Research Kartik Cherabuddi MD 🆔️🌍 UF Health UF Div of Infectious Diseases & Global Medicine UF Medicine Emerging Pathogens Institute Our team Emerging Pathogens Institute UFVetMed UF IFAS Wildlife will be tacking a deep dive into Hansen’s disease #leprosy in Florida. There is so much we do not understand about this disease in our state! #WorldLeprosyDay #BeatLeprosy

Hansen's disease, also known as leprosy, may seem like a disease of the past, but recent cases in Florida are making a team of FLORIDA researchers take notice by studying how it spreads and working towards eradication.

At the symposium, UF Medicine Professor Kartik Cherabuddi MD 🆔️🌍 shed light on the complexities of Hansen's disease, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and understanding its prevalence in Florida.

Learn more on how this UF team is putting science over stigma to stop the spread of Hansen’s disease in Florida and beyond. explore.research.ufl.edu/leprosy-is-her…
