So...if a Russian asset wanted to sabotage the American government's outbreak surveillance system in preparation for biological warfare against the US population, how would their absolute dream celebrate-victory-with-vodka-and-caviar outcome look different from what just happened at the CDC?

Why it’s important Canada accredits its own medical schools

As of Canada Day, Canadian medical schools will no longer be accredited alongside US ones. This will protect Canadian universities from US political interference in medical education and enable a nimbler response to homegrown issues. www.cma.ca/latest-stori... via @cmadocs.bsky.social #MedEd

High preoperative D-dimer increases the risk of venous thromboembolism after gynecological tumor surgeries: a meta-analysis of cohort studies The role of preoperative D-dimer in the prediction of postoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE) with gynecological tumor remains unclear. This meta-analysis sought to assess the association between p...

Operating on a patient with gynecologic cancer?
Check their D-dimer.
High pre-op levels = 2.6x higher VTE risk post-op.
Meta-analysis (n=15 studies) makes the case.
