Thoroughly enjoyed this by @paulsaxmd.bsky.social in @nejm.org blogs.nejm.org/hiv-id-obser... My in-laws often complain about the lack of physical exam by their MDs as an inadequacy. Yet my 1st year nursing student daughter is learning to use the stethoscope and sphyngomanometer in her skills lab.

At a few recent talks, I showed the overlapping distribution between level of deprivation and density of #antibiotics use using the example of England (and others from HIC). A targeted approach is needed to better support clinicians in #antimicrobialstewardship www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Three university students debating loudly in the quiet zone of the train about when to use t-test, one-way ANOVA and two-way ANOVA. Trying to memorize the rules before their exam. Fond memories for me from undergrad stats course. 🥸 TBH I didn’t understand those concepts till much later! #biostats

www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle... I’ve only ever done half marathons. While they were not necessarily “fun” in the physical sense, they were fun in the “look what I’ve accomplished!” 🙌sense. I aim to improve my PB each time but enjoying the journey is much more important! 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️

Antimicrobial resistance is the ability of germs to evade the treatment effects of antimicrobial drugs. This JAMA Patient Page describes antimicrobial resistance, its risk factors, and how to decrease the spread of antibiotic resistance. ja.ma/46ieWAE

Info sheet: "Antimicrobial resistance occurs when germs evade drug treatments." Risk factors include antibiotics, catheters, hospitalization, weakened immunity, age, and chronic conditions. Reduce resistance by avoiding overuse, washing hands, and getting vaccinated.

Fewer than 10% of published observational studies in this sample used DAGs to justify confounder selection. This is a huge missed opportunity for both readers and researchers. DAGs are invaluable in research design and critical appraisal.

The UK COVID-19 inquiry continues to be +++educational for me.

An interesting notion: balancing the need to jumpstart sepsis management vs. #antimicrobialstewardship. To me, rather than characterizing it as a "tension", I would reframe it - we are on the same side to optimize care, for which we need SYSTEM-LEVEL interventions. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
