I’ve had a great time attending my first SHM Converge. It was a blast competing in the Med-Ted teaching competition with such talented educators and a huge honor to win. Grateful to Chris Moriates, MD, Satya Patel and so many others at VA GLA/UCLA for their support. #SHMConverge24

TRANSFUSION AS IRON THERAPY

Yesterday I posted a poll showing CBC data from a patient with severe iron deficiency anemia and asked: assuming she receives 4 units pRBCs (which of course would be excessive here), does she need iron therapy on top of that?

70% answered YES.

Excited to share the video in a week! On a related note, CORE IM has a great episode on COPD management that goes over inhalers! coreimpodcast.com/2022/06/22/5-p…

There is considerable confusion in terms used to describe #troponin , including terms that are imprecise (e.g., “troponin leak”) or deprecated (e.g., “type 2 NSTEMI”) (Lang, 2022). What's the difference between 🫀myocardial injury, ischemia, & infarction❓ 🧐 #MedEd 🧵

SPEP, SIFE, SFLC, UPEP, UIFE.

What do these abbreviations mean & how does one arrive to the land of paraproteinemias?

Here is a tweetorial for the internist diagnostician, in collaboration with Cullen Lilley, MD, MS, MA, MB(ASCP)!

When I learned that spot testing was not that sensitive, it changed my practice whenever I think about assessing paraproteinemia.

Is there ever a good reason to order spot urine paraprotein testing?
