Excited to share my first-author research letter! Our findings highlight an important question: how therapies perform outside of clinical trials, particularly among patients often underrepresented in research. Thank you @jamanetworkopen.com! @unmccom.bsky.social @unmc-id.bsky.social

In clinical practice, patients with #Bacteremia receiving dalbavancin were younger and more likely to have substance use or housing instability than those in the DOTS trial, but completed therapy with similar low failure rates. ja.ma/4odctAk
Table 2. Cohort Outcomes Comparisons. DOTS trial (n=100) shows 80% overall clinical success at day 70 & 73% composite efficacy, vs. clinical dalbavancin recipients (n=31) with 65% and 61% respectively.

Excellent patient information on West Nile Virus. Most cases are asymptomatic but I see a handful of cases every year that are not and need hospital care. Treatment is supportive. With summer heat and more time outdoors DEET insect repellents are your friend. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Leadership is always a challenge, but especially in times of change. We don’t have to walk alone. Make time to connect with peers who share your values. Lean on each other on long days when you’re discouraged. And celebrate wins. Friendship is key to sustainability 🌱

I’ve been reflecting on one word that speaks to me each day. Today, my word of the day is COMMUNITY. Community may be different for every person. Is it your work? Home? Church? Regardless of who or where they are, community is peace. Community is hope. Community is strength. Find your community. 👊🏽

🧵 When Medicine and Science Ignores Diversity, People Die. 1/ Ignoring diversity in medicine and science is deadly. From unethical experiments to life-threatening misdiagnoses, history is replete with examples of how neglecting race, gender, and identity costs lives. A thread of concrete examples.

There is no underestimating the daily impact of uncertainty. As many are making sense of a new landscape, it can be a scary time. In times of disruption, preserving or creating a routine can be key for mental health. Schedule time for self care & connection with friends.

Scientific advancements aside, this is economically irresponsible Every $1 spent by NIH generates $2.46 For example, in 2023, $47B in NIH spending generated ~$93B Halting NIH spending will LOSE the US a lot of money (and talent)
An image of NIH campus. Text says : With annual budget of more than $47 billion, NIH is the largest single public funder of biomedical and behavioural research in the world. In fiscal year 2023, NIH funding generated an estimated $92.89 billion in economic activityEvery state and almost every congressional district received a share of NIH investment
Each year, NIH awards over 60,000 grants that directly support more than 300,000 researchers at more than 2,500 different institutions
In fiscal year 2023, every $1 of NIH funding generated approximately $2.46 of economic activity
