This is Cole. He is a deaf service dog at Dr. William Mennies Elementary School. He just turned 9, and all of his students learned sign language to sing him happy birthday at a massive party. 14/10 for all (IG: colethedeafdog)

I am utterly unsurprised that churches are saying no to a starving baby and the plugs are immediately saying yes. This tracks perfectly with my experience.

This is Oakley. He has an injury that requires physical therapy and at-home massages. Luckily, his cat sibling River has been training his whole life for this. 14/10 for both

Overlaid quote in large white text reads: “I’m doing a play right now, so I cannot get sick… I’ve had COVID enough in my life, I don’t need to do that again… I’m wearing this for health reasons.” — Tom Hanks, on wearing a mask.

”It pretty much works all the time.”

Tom Hanks gets that masking keeps him safe and healthy. Read more about it → whn.global/youve-got-a-...

🧪IF you draw labs on a febrile 61-90-day-old infant, use these predictive values

✨PCT ≤ 0.24 ng/mL
✨ANC ≤ 10,710/mm³


➡️ 100% sensitivity + 100% NPV for IBIs.


Next step: Prospective validation before widespread use

#PRIME

There is practice variability re: labs for febrile👶 61-90d
#PECARN asked, who is low risk for IBI?

CART analysis to ID low-risk infants:
🧪 UA negative 🌡️ Tmax ≤38.9°C

➡️ NPV ~99.5% for IBI
⚠️ But ~1% (14 infants) w/ IBI would be missed

The dismantling of public health that is unravelling in real time may feel like political theater, but the stakes are measured in lives.

Text from article: It’ll be years before we can fully account for what all of this is doing to students’ brains. Some early research shows that when students off-load cognitive duties onto chatbots, their capacity for memory, problem-solving, and creativity could suffer. Multiple studies published within the past year have linked AI usage with a deterioration in critical-thinking skills; one found the effect to be more pronounced in younger participants. In February, Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon University published a study that found a person’s confidence in generative AI correlates with reduced critical-thinking effort. The net effect seems, if not quite Wall-E, at least a dramatic reorganization of a person’s efforts and abilities, away from high-effort inquiry and fact-gathering and toward integration and verification. This is all especially unnerving if you add in the reality that AI is imperfect — it might rely on something that is factually inaccurate or just make something up entirely — with the ruinous effect social media has had on Gen Z’s ability to tell fact from fiction. The problem may be much larger than generative AI. The so-called Flynn effect refers to the consistent rise in IQ scores from generation to generation going back to at least the 1930s. That rise started to slow, and in some cases reverse, around 2006. “The greatest worry in these times of generative AI is not that it may compromise human creativity or intelligence,” Robert Sternberg, a psychology professor at Cornell University, told The Guardian, “but that it already has.” (Katie's added note: the sentences about reorganization of abilities and telling fact from fiction have been highlighted.)

Bleak.

#EMS friends:

Want to be part of a research team?

Join us in Buffalo for NEMSIS-Prehospital Care Research Forum on June 4-6. Come with an idea and leave with an abstract! No experience needed!

Registration link: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

Probably worth saving this number

Updated with time on the flyer.

Flyer advertising NY NAEMSP presents Empire State Grand Rounds. The topic is The case for data integration: Why the future of EMS depends on bidirectional data sharing. The presenter is Dr. Maia Dorsett, MD, PhD, FAEMS.

#EMS folks! Join us for Empire State Grand Rounds on March 13 at 1300 (EST)!

Dr. Dorsett will share why data integration is essential for the future of EMS.

Mark Cuban thinks people with “zero education” can outperform people with advanced training by using LLMs

The biggest problem with LLMs isn’t just that they are often wrong about even basic things, let alone unable think critically, it’s that ignorant people see ChatGPT akin to being given a pair of wings without realizing the wings are made out of wax
