I get this question a lot - at autopsy, we (obviously) can’t assess blood flow the way clinicians can on echo. But there ARE anatomic clues to the diagnosis!

Recently read The Long Walk and it’s amazing - timeless. I’m excited to see the movie too!

As a Canadian I’d add that the world needs to understand that the destruction of the 🇺🇸 engine of research will damage the world - not just the U.S. because knowledge is a global treasure.

🇨🇦 can stand up for our sovereignty AND stand up for U.S. academics, who have contributed so much to us all.

This article won’t change your mind. Here’s why | Sarah Stein Lubrano Evidence shows that arguing our case rarely convinces others. It’s social relationships and actions that have that power, says author Sarah Stein Lubrano

A real life consequence of vaccine hesitancy & refusal, nurtured by the misinformation that Secretary Kennedy continues to spread. Educating patients and parents in an exam room is an almost impossible task when powerful influencers are willing to exploit fear.

Were you taught in medical school that patients with bicuspid aortic valves developed aortic aneurysms because of ‘turbulent blood flow’? This article helps to correct that misperception (hint: it involves embryology). www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
