A 3D video image of an ion channel that very probably plays an important but as-yet unexplained role in critical illness. Just an example of the sort of amazing content you can find on community-owned socialist media :) critcare.social/@kennethbailli…

Fantastic to get this out: brilliant example of what a deep analysis of large data sets from consortia like PHOSP-COVID study and ISARIC ISARIC4C by Felicity Liew. Such an interesting finding! #COVID19 #LongCovid

Some people, particularly outside Scotland, may not be familiar with Darren McGarvey’s effortlessly compelling writing, so here’s a story about healthcare that’ll bring a lump to your throat.

Is there a genetic overlap between idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis #IPF and severe #COVID19? Shared associations at some genetic loci (e.g., MUC5B, KANSL1, DPP9) have been revealed. Then, is there an association of polygenic risk (PRS) of #IPF with severe #COVID19?

I don’t think Rob Mac Sweeney gets enough plaudits for Critical Care Reviews - his visionary approach to presenting, discussing, and disseminating new knowledge from critical care trials is ann incredible gift to humankind. Thanks Rob! #ccr24

Well, after more than a year trying to lead a Musk-free social media life, I've given up on the mastodon dream and come crawling back to twitter. I'll check in once in a while and post occasional adverts for jobs or papers...
