I’m so happy people are recognising Bayesian statistics more. I wish medical schools taught them more. Most medical students graduate understanding only frequentist statistics. I happened to learn about it during my masters degree.

People wonder why I love Bayesian statistics so much, but when you grasp how it works, you realise you’ve been using it in your day to day clinical work all this time, and you start looking at frequentist statistics differently and focus more on Bayesian.

This is the scariest and most important study you'll see today. Colorectal cancer has officially become the #1 cause of cancer-related death among people under 50yo. Every other cancer has shown decreased mortality over time while CRC mortality is going up. Sonia Ramamoorthy, MD FACS FASCRS

Today I learned sepsis causes thrombocytopenia because bacteria express neuraminidase, a virulence factor that cleaves sialic acid from host cells allowing for greater adherence to cell surface. When platelets get desialylated they get cleared by kupfer cells in the liver.

🩻Contrast-induced AKI: one of the biggest myths still shaping clinical decisions For decades we were taught: 👉 “Contrast damages the kidneys” 👉 “Avoid CT with contrast in CKD” 👉 “Hydrate, protect, delay imaging if needed” But what if… most of this is wrong?🤔 ->The

modern IV contrast dye for CT scans isn’t neprotoxic. definitive imaging saves lives. this is so simple but people & journals & textbooks keep on messing it up.

Long term follow up of a phase 1 trial of an mRNA tumor vaccine shows that 7/8 patients with pancreatic cancer, who mounted an immune response to the vaccine, are still alive 6 years later. This is breathtaking data and shows the promise of mRNA vaccines. nbcnews.com/health/cancer/…

Imagine scrolling through twitter after your team loses and all you see is people saying “Football won”😭😭

You are replaceable at work, but you are NOT replaceable at home. A beautiful and poignant reflection that applies to all clinicians.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Had a phenomenal time presenting at the National ACP conference in San Francisco. ♥️🏂

Great time!
