Do you sign out surgical pathology aortic specimens? Make sure you’re familiar with the normal regional variability to avoid overcalling degenerative features! Learn more at: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #pathsky #medsky #cardiosky

I get this question a lot - at autopsy, we (obviously) can’t assess blood flow the way clinicians can on echo. But there ARE anatomic clues to the diagnosis!

Now available online! Is aortic valve morphology more meaningful than age, aortic dilation, or valve function? Find out here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #medsky #cardiosky #pathsky

As a Canadian I’d add that the world needs to understand that the destruction of the 🇺🇸 engine of research will damage the world - not just the U.S. because knowledge is a global treasure. 🇨🇦 can stand up for our sovereignty AND stand up for U.S. academics, who have contributed so much to us all.

Interesting: why rationalising with those swept up by right wing propaganda doesn’t work. Before Trump’s conviction 17% of Republicans thought that felons could still be presidents. Once Trump became a felon, 58% changed their minds on the principle. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

NEW OPEN ACCESS: The impact of moderate and high intensity endurance exercise on acute murine coxsackievirus B3 myocarditis www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #cardiosky #myocarditis #pathsky #medsky

A real life consequence of vaccine hesitancy & refusal, nurtured by the misinformation that Secretary Kennedy continues to spread. Educating patients and parents in an exam room is an almost impossible task when powerful influencers are willing to exploit fear.

Were you taught in medical school that patients with bicuspid aortic valves developed aortic aneurysms because of ‘turbulent blood flow’? This article helps to correct that misperception (hint: it involves embryology). www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

The government has no right to decide what name or nickname your child goes by in class. The government has no right to pick out what clothes your child wears to school. This is not just an attack on trans children. It's an attack on personal choice. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/u...

Americans need maternity and paternity leave, affordable healthcare options, healthy food in schools, and safety from the influences of big pharma. We do NOT need: stopping childhood vaccinations, transphobia, and govt interference in reproductive care.

"How do you have a healthy country when women are force to go back to work... When women and men get fired because they stay home taking care of their sick kids. That's not making America healthy again." Senator Sanders during the RFK Jr. Senate Confirmation hearing day 2 #SayNoToRFKJr #BlockRFKJR

"Mr. Kennedy, there are women today who are having babies then they have to go back to work in a week or two because they have no guaranteed paid family and medical leave."

"How do you make America healthy again if 1 out of 4 people in this country cannot afford the price of prescription drugs, which is far higher in American than any other country on earth?"

remember stuff like this when they tell you that diversity means a lowering of standards

This is a really great article to understand why the #academic community is stunned right now. #medsky Well said: "It's difficult to understand how putting all that at risk puts America first."

labmedicineblog.com/2025/01/29/t... The current administration can try their hardest to pretend trans people don’t exist, but physicians have an ethical mandate to be better. This includes the way we treat our patients in death - and making sure their death is accurately reflected in national data.

It’s Denali. It’s the Gulf of Mexico. There are more than two genders. The Bible is not a scientific document. Immigrants are not aliens. A woman has the right to choose what happens to her body. I’m done talking about this. I’m right. He’s wrong.
