The Unmaking of the American University
For decades, research universities have relied on federal funding, with no guarantee that it will last. Now their survival may depend on compliance with the government.
“What if a university president had taken the conservative critique seriously long before Trump recaptured the White House—would it have made a difference? We have a natural experiment to test that question: Johns Hopkins. And we know what happened: it didn’t help.”

New JAMA review attempts to equate pulmonary congestion with systemic congestion ("volume overload")
This is sloppy & often wrong
Pts w/ LV failure often have pulmonary congestion w/o systemic congestion
Pts w/ RV failure usually have systemic congestion w/ dry lungs
CVP isn't PCWP

I'm looking to shift our shop to Ropivacaine single shot for regional, surgical anaesthesia. I feel the evidence for 3mg/kg max is shaky, and from a pre-ultrasound era. Using 5 mg/ml, I might hit the roof, and need more volume. Any references and thoughts appreciated. #AnSky

I need every single male artist that follows me to read this. It's not very long. You need to bear witness to this shit. You have to see it with your own eyes because you never will in your everyday life.
I'm serious, read it all please

A photo of a young Lilian Vaughan Morgan, sitting with a book on her lab staring into the distance.
A photo of an older Lilian Vaughan Morgan, sitting at a lab bench with a microscope and dozens of glass milk bottles bunged with cotton. Lilian is in the middle of applying ether to anaesthetize a bottle of flies.
This #InternationalWomensDay I want to tell the story of Lilian Vaughan Morgan. I learned of Lilian this past year - what a badass.
Lilian was a leading scientist when women weren't welcome in the lab, nor even the department. But she contributed immensely to the genetics of sex determination

And yeah, maybe I’m being a bit harsh and choosing violence today
But I’ve just finished the “Aeneas gets awesome armour from Vulcan/Haephestus” chapter
And it’s a direct rip of Achilles getting his armour in the Iliad. Like literally. With some Augustus love randomly thrown in

Henry Purcell: Dido's Lament (Dido and Aeneas); Anna Dennis, soprano, with Voices of Music 4K UHD
YouTube video by Voices of Music
“But Dante, Ovid, etc wouldn’t exist without him!”
Goes to show that people will be inspired by whatever they read
At least we got this amazing aria out of the story

Aside from the obvious lack of combos, spiral swords setups, and smokin’ sexy style
It’s basically Temu Homer with huge amounts of Augustus Caesar propaganda

Interesting to consider that 45% of PEs have concurrent DVTs, and 30-50% of PEs should be homeable.
Yet data UK data suggests that more patients with PE are being admitted (and fewer DVTs are being admitted)
Is this better recognition of the sicker pt?
Or (my suspicion) less scope to manage risk?

one is "starship troopers" (the movie).
me at 12, when it came out: fuck yeah! save the day! get your girl back! the brain bug is scared!
me at 15: that movie is actually really campy and terrible.
me as an adult: paul verhoeven deserves a retroactive oscar for this.

It is useful, and prudent, to make a distinction between vaccine hesitancy and vaccine resistance. For example, there are many reasons why certain racialized and minoritized communities might hold onto questions about vaccines because of their histories with the state and colonization.../
