The next notification I received was that the paper was accepted.

Given @bmj.comโ€™s commitment to open peer review and post-publication scrutiny (which I admire), I have no doubt we will hear about a formal editorial investigation soon. /fin

โ€ฆand sample size inconsistencies in the protocol versus the report (and within the report).

The data seemed impressive. Too good to be true I guess?

I never saw the paper again in peer review after that initial review. 2/n

This is disappointing, but Iโ€™m not surprised. I was one of the reviewers for the initial version. You can see by my review (itโ€™s all open) that I flagged primary outcome switching, a complete lack of any data on the cells themselves 1/n

RFK Jr clearly hasn't read this paper he cited. But I have. At last weekโ€™s press conference, RFK Jr and his buddies announced that Tylenol causes autism, citing 3 studies as proof. Let's talk about one of them.

Today I review the second study RFK Jr cited in his autism & Tylenol press conference: acetaminophen in pregnancy from the Nurses' Health Study.

You're gonna wanna read this for yourself.

This story should shock and offend all Americans. It is a violation of our shared values.

It is possible to enforce our immigration laws, without ripping away peopleโ€™s basic dignity and rights.

Unbelievable whatโ€™s happening in the US. I used to be jealous of my American cousins when I was growing up. Not anymore - what a farce of a democracy they have become.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

Top FDA official demands removal of YouTube videos in which he criticized Covid vaccines Channel was an attempt to โ€˜preserveโ€™ what Trump officials in current Trump administration said during the pandemic

Vinay Prasad of the FDA demanded that @joho.bsky.socialโ€™s YouTube channel be removed, and it was.

Dr. Howard regularly pointed out the numerous flaws in Prasadโ€™s statements about COVID19 vaccines and other topics.

You can read about it here.

My approach too. First intubation with a trainee Iโ€™ve never worked with before is VL and they describe what we are looking at. If they are anesthesia residents Iโ€™ll let them do DL if they insist.
Off service residents and med students - ๐Ÿ’ฏ VL - I wonโ€™t supervise anything else.

Far fewer Canadians are visiting the U.S. this year, new numbers show Canadian residents made just 1.7 million return trips by motor vehicle back into their country from the U.S. in July, a nearly 37% decline over the same month in 2024, according to Statistics Canada.

Canadians are really sending a message

Why hands only for outpt procedures? Ask because I just put a small iv in the ac for my patients coming for an outpt procedure. Usually dead simple to cannulate even if you canโ€™t see it, less propfol injection pain, and the iv comes out in a couple of hours when they head home.

For anyone still saying that a Canadian like me should โ€œmind my own business,โ€ thereโ€™s literally nothing thatโ€™s more my business โ€” more EVERYONEโ€™s business โ€” than the most powerful nation in the world right next door turning itself into a lawless, fact-less, corrupt dictatorship.

Nothing. #ElbowsUp

Total number of complications (virtual care or not) doesnโ€™t seem to change, however, they are caught earlier and are less severe as a result. 2/2

We have a fairly mature post surgical discharge virtual recovery program (established as part of the pvc-ram trial BMJ 2021). ENCOMPASS data is exactly in line with my clinical observation that virtual care acts as an early warning system. 1/2

I used Des in the vast majority of cases when I was training. We can still get it, but need to go find it. As you can, imagine, use has plummeted in our institute. I agree, no single strong indication to use it.

I do that with Des in our centre every once in a while. Most (all?) staff in our centre still use Sevo regularly though.
