It’s true what they say about reviewer 2! Time to fix up these manuscripts and resubmit, womp womp

Enjoying a nice comfy break from social media and capturing a couple top 3 finishes while that’s still achievable! Gotta get better about coming back here, feel like I’m just not as caught up with the latest lit these days!

These won’t last, but I’ll take the Ws and podiums when I can!

Is fifth third just like, the worst bank?

Dang, first manuscript rejected from JTACS. At least lots of helpful feedback, hopefully we can rework things a bit and get it accepted somewhere. Fingers still crossed on the prospective paper, hopefully that one makes it!

ONE ANTIBIOTIC PK TABLE TO RULE THEM ALL Absorption takes drug into blood from GI, Vd spreads drug out to where bug calls home. And after bacteria are doomed to die, The drug’s eliminated on the porcelain throne In the Land of Notion where this table doth lie… #idSky #microsky #pharmsky #medsky

Finally! Antibiotics are not non-inferior to appendectomy despite a generous 20% non-inferiority margin They are actually inferior: www.thelancet.com/journals/lan... in the @thelancet.bsky.social #MedSky

Love this since every lab I’ve seen has topped out at 200+! Think my current one is 180+, with abnormal lab reported at >8 😢

Important article for #AMSSky, #TxID, #UTISky, and #IDSky in @cidjournal.bsky.social: In neutropenic & non-neutropenic cancer patients w/ & w/o catheters, the absence of nitrite/leukocyte esterase or WBC<10 had high NPV for clinically significant bacteriuria academic.oup.com/cid/advance-...

NEW PREPRINT! Enjoyed working with @tom-parks.bsky.social and @petedodd24.bsky.social on immortal time bias In its simplest form, ITB results from misallocation of person time, i.e. pre treatment time in intervention group being counted as time on treatment www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1... [1/n]

Recent studies reinforce the benefits of oral antibiotics, as well as shorter durations of therapy in BJIs with supporting evidence 🆕💫 Review article Bone Voyage: Navigating Updates in the Management of Bone and Joint Infections #idsky link.springer.com/article/10.1...

What a cool study and a powerful demonstration that Tuberculosis is largely a disease of poverty. In Brazil a large scale intervention which provided cash monthly to families living in poverty led to profound reductions in TB cases. Up to 50% among the poorest groups. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Though "Oral is the New IV" with antibiotics (h/t @bradspellberg.bsky.social), it's not always easy to convince reluctant inpatient clinicians -- especially (in my experience) surgeons, who want to treat "aggressively". Interesting dynamic ... blogs.jwatch.org/hiv-id-obser...

youtu.be/RRvYkrrpMKo?... Wow these are some absolute bops! Bunch of solid SNES era soundtracks on this guy’s channel too, on top of this one!

Oof what a miserable Hawkeye game

Use of voriconazole to predict susceptibility and resistance to isavuconazole for Aspergillus fumigatus using CLSI methods and interpretive criteria High rate of agreement suggests vori susceptibility can predict isa susceptibility in A fumigatus w/ CLSI AFST journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

When AC is needed in acute cerebrovascular dz, heparin is usually chosen for its reversibility. Doses are often low-balled for safety, but does this come at a cost? Fast AC is needed in CSVT, and we saw that time to therapeutic PTT/AXa can >24h with low-intensity dosing! doi.org/10.1016/j.jo...

Can I just bag about a former resident for a bit? So cool to see her hard work featured after all the hurdles to get this far, but couldn’t be more proud! www.pharmacypracticenews.com/Online-First...
