Spontaneous pulmonary-twist secondary to Legionnaire’s disease Apparently "pulmonary twist" is a thing. In this case, in the context of Legionella pneumonia, the L upper lobe became twisted & necrotic, apparently due to infiltration and increased weight of lingula link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Radiological, bronchoscopic and anatomic considerations of the twisted-lung condition. A chest CT-scan showing a complete twist (white arrow) of the left pulmonary hilum in frontal plane B: CT-scan 3D reconstruction with the twisting motion visible (white arrow) C: endoscopic vision of the left main bronchus, showing stenosis and the twisting of the bronchial mucosa and smooth muscle (arrow).D: left pneumonectomy piece, the whole lung is congested affecting predominantly the upper lobe (arrow)

Don’t worry, it was (I hope) a fun convo for all!

I never said (either here or during the actual discussion) that CIN doesn’t exist. It was a respectful and lighthearted review of the literature

I’ve heard of robots replacing physicians but this seems a bit of a stretch

Two photos. On the left, a black rolling chair (though the legs and wheels are out of sight) in a doctor's office. A post-it note with professional type is stuck to the top portion, where a person's back would rest. On the right, a close up of the post-it note where one can read "DOCTOR CHAIR" typeset onto it.

Got into a debate with nephrology about whether contrast-induced nephropathy is real, and I’ve never felt so alive

Children receive so many more vaccines these days. Is this ok? Short answer: This is ok. Today’s vaccines target more diseases and do so more efficiently than older vaccines. Longer answer: ⬇️ 1/7 @kkjetelina.bsky.social @meganranney.bsky.social @jasonlschwartz.bsky.social @enirenberg.bsky.social

We’ve decided to end the peer review process; instead, we will just be asking random people on the street what they think

Same! I just didn’t want people to freak out that they’re going to catch noro from someone breathing on them

This is a paper about influenza A, not norovirus. I’m responding to avoid confusion among anyone who may be following this thread

Allison Bond @allisonrbond.bsky.social · 07/01/2025

Relatedly, I’m curious how many of us in healthcare are eldest daughters. Wish there was a poll function on BlueSky!

The point that I’m making is that to the public, hearing something is an aerosol is concerning for being able to be transmitted on public transport, etc. But unless someone is vomiting near you, this is not likely to be possible

Allison Bond @allisonrbond.bsky.social · 06/01/2025

This study (from 2015) entailed building a vomiting machine to show norovirus can be airborne. It still haunts my dreams, and now it can haunt you too! You’re welcome www.science.org/content/arti...

Key point (which you made): you must be near someone who is actively vomiting/expelling diarrhea to get it via airborne exposure — as opposed to respiratory infections, which you can get from someone‘s breath lungs The device in this experiment haunts my dreams

Great summary and resource! Every time I treat an ocular infection I’m reminded how few good resources there are to guide the specifics of diagnostics/therapies
