Hello #NephSky! Trying to look for accounts to recommend for Filipino #Nephrologists to follow. I'll be speaking in the PSN Convention next week and would love to connect them here. I see Dr @edgarvlermamd.bsky.social's posts here and in X :)

You know you're getting old when what you learned in training are now changing. TB updates (from 2020): it's now TPT not IPT, genexpert>afb smear, no more CategoryI, II etc but just Regimen I & II, shortened regimen 4mos instead of 6 for uncomplicated TB. Congrats @kiefferferraris.bsky.social!!

@millennialpedia.bsky.social @jetlax.bsky.social @pediadocjoey.bsky.social Hello Drs., our team wrote this perspective exploring the potentially critical role of data scientists in tumor boards, especially in LMICs. Please repost to spark conversation :) www.frontiersin.org/journals/dig...

Is there already a starter pack for #Filipino health professionals? Both based locally and abroad would be a good way to connect :)

Brings us back to the "old days" when you have to wait for a week for a new episode haha. I think it's a wise move because that 1 hr is so full already and you can't even watch it as white noise - anything more than that will really mimic healthcare burnout 🫠🤪

Given Mebendazole 500mg chewable tab but child doesn't want to chew? Place tablet in a spoon, add about 2-3 mL of clean drinking water. Tablet absorbs water w/in 2 minutes, turning into a soft mass (semi-solid consistency) which can then be swallowed. #pediasky #pharmasky #medsky

I got distracted with what's happening with the world, but now I'm back here and hopefully for good. Going back to why I'm in this platform in the first place, to share and learn from my colleagues in the pediatrics and health informatics field. Lezgo!

If LLMs get their training data from the internet... imagine your teens to early 20s self in your blogger era 🤪🫣 I can't even remember my username and password for the very old "hidden/anonymous" blogs, but I'm sure it's in the internet void 🫠

“The best teaching of medicine is that taught by the patient himself” - W. Osler Grateful for patients and the things they teach me until now.

A favorite podcasts of mine, Hard Fork w/ @kevinroose.com and @caseynewton.bsky.social, talk to @adamrodmanmd.bsky.social about his RCT study published in JAMA showing GTP-4 beat both physicians (No AI) AND physicians using GPT in diagnostic reasoning. I highly suggest you check it out! 🧪 🩺🖥️ #MLSky

What if physicians were paid to NOT prescribe unneeded antibiotics? 🤔 Clinicians in 🇯🇵 were paid ~$5.7 when rationale provided to not prescribe 💊 for kids <3y with acute URTI or gastro There was sustained ⬇️ in ABx (~20%) over 4 yrs w/o signals of harm academic.oup.com/cid/advance-...

Arguably, the greatest advance in healthcare in the past 100 years was the widespread vaccination of children.

Prompted GPT to generate portrait image of a child, then an adult, w/chickenpox & these are the results. Tried to "edit" w/ prompts to rotate the image of the child and to remove those rashes on the shirt but I guess polkadot chickenpox shirts go well with the skin rashes 😅 #medsky #pedsky #AI #GPT

Among children with enterovirus (specifically coxsackie) is Isoprinosine effective in decreasing symptoms? #pediatrics #MedSky #PedSky

Doing #ScholarlyWork during #MedicalTraining can be challenging, especially without prior research training. One way to be successful is to convert your day-to-day work to scholarly activity. What are some of your tips ? #MedEd #Training #MedSky #ScholarlySunday

Medicine focuses a lot on the question “will this help my patient” but not on the question “when will it help my patient.” The latter becomes important as we age. We’ve developed a “time-to-benefit” tool on eprognosis.ucsf.edu to help answer this question. Here is a snapshot #MedSky #FOAMed #meded

If you are posting images on your social media, then please provide alt text for them. These can be easily generated from any LLM with a prompt along the lines of that below

Wondering why so many people have mycoplasma (aka walking pneumonia) lately? Here’s a clue. Just published: after propensity matching, those w/ prior #COVID19 infection were about 3x more likely to get mycoplasma than those without #COVID: www.thelancet.com/journals/lan... #MedTwitter #MedSky

It's hand, foot, and mouth disease, but sometimes the rashes also appear on the elbow (as pictured), and the diaper area Here, elbow papules appeared first and then not quite noticeable, but when you know where to look, faint red papules are starting to form between fingers, too #medsky #pedia

We're 1 step forward 2 steps back when we believe things like giving raw milk to children. Whyyyy.

Sucks that we *still* have colleagues rabidly believing this. Evidence-based medicine, hu that? 😅

*sigh* How i wish we had this kind of surveillance here.

MYCOPLASMA PNEUMONIAE This cheeky little intracellular bacteria seems to be up to mischief with kids in the USA at the moment A quick thread on this bug, what's going on, and what to do (or not do!) about it #IDSky #PedSky #PedsIDSky 🧪 1/🧵

Closely following what will happen to the US because, whether we like it or not, they have a big influence in our country (PH). We still haven't fully recovered from Dengvaxia misinformation induced anti-vaxxers. We don't need folks here saying "but my relative from the US said..." 😫
