📝 Like Wordle but wish it involved plagues? It's not quite the same -- there's no spelling just a series of clues in a similar feedback loop as Wordle -- but it's pretty cool! Complements of an anonymous med student on Reddit. #IDSky #MedSky www.plagdle.com

‘Standing on the shoulders of imperfect humans’ continues w/ a review by @anniejoseph.bsky.social of the Kass criteria for significant bacteriuria named after EH Kass. Still widely used in the clinic but where did 10^5 CFU/mL come from & is it still relevant? www.cmi-comms.org/article/S295... #IDSky

“Without minimising the great advance made by Kass in the diagnosis of UTI, it is none the less important to recognise its limitations.” Rosalind Maskell, 1989 [1].

This is a wild paper on the performance of warm/empathetic AI models in medical reasoning. This is the start of whatever we're calling a #Thread on Bluesky. A #Skeeterfall? A #SkeetShoot? A #Skeetitorial? arxiv.org/html/2507.21... #Medsky 1/x

Training language models to be warm and empathetic makes them less reliable and more sycophantic

Our new study published. We were surprised to see that carriers have a high baseline risk that antibiotics don't add on it. Among non carriers BLBLI posed the highest risk. Overall the conclusion as always is- be judicious: use the shortest regimen and try to avoid unnecessary treatment

I was asking myself almost the same question when a febrile neutropenic patient grew salmonella in her blood. I switched to targeted therapy but evidence is lacking

An extremely heartbreaking, tragic story that made me understand the deep scars that women who were assaulted as childs carry with them into adulthood, it's been 7 years since I listened to this, I would not do it again but I think I would be different without it You didn't ask for fun...

Love this, my primary focus is ID and infection control but I also practice as an IM in a similar virtual hospital setting, and it's truly the future and does so well for our patients

Is anyone here using 405 nm LED lights for environmental disinfection in their hospital? Does it make a difference?

Great ideas, we are looking into real time hand hygiene, and I am not sure what my opinion is on uv devices, will definently have to see more data. And thanks for the starter pack!

These are amazing points, but I'm still trying to focus on the design part. We hopefully will also have the time for training but the first patient is due to be admitted in a few years from now so we're trying to see how to actually build the hospital

Trying this posting thing for the first time 💉⚕️🏥👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️🩺🩻 Any infection prevention people here? If you could design your dream hospital—the most technologically advanced and greatest medical establishment possible—what elements would you include to minimize hospital-acquired infections? 🥼🏥😷⚕️
