Diagram titled "Figure 1. Intravascular Volume Overload" from JAMA, published February 23, 2026, illustrating the pathophysiology of intravascular volume overload, including decreased cardiac output, jugular vein distention, and pulmonary edema.

This Rational Clinical Examination evaluates the diagnostic accuracy of clinical examination, radiographic imaging, and laboratory testing in assessing volume overload in nonintubated patients.

This is so fucking specific and I'm laughing like a hiena

This may be the one and only use for AI? Actually, don't do it. I want to be able to buy RAM in the future

This guy sciences! Agree with above

Yeah I could swear the data would be from the Crislip podcasting era so has to a bit older. I'm gonna try to find it. I could have hallucinated.

Nice! I believe there's already some data looking at that? Maybe not RCT though. IIRC they were equivalent.

I'm the OG fidaxo hater. Its a meme drug. I will die on this hill. When it costs pennies I will reconsider.

NNT about 34 right? Also interesting comment by @philipbejon.bsky.social . Food for thought! Great study!

Blink 182's self titled album came out almost 23 years ago. Let that sink in.

ESR and CRP are about as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle

Not sure Smarmy is the term I would use. Curmudgeonly, yeah. He has gotten saltier the last few years. But he's not wrong.

I must have really internalized Crislips personality when I first listened to him in med school because I read this in my own voice lol. Pretty much summarizes my thoughts so far

Two hours??? Godspeed my dude

As much as I love those topics, and frankly who doesn't, you really want to keep it practical for them. And for better or worse ulcers and osteomyelitis are going to be the bulk of what they see.

One day everyone will have been against this

Justo eso pensé ahora hehe. Pero odio usar AI!! No quiero quemar arbolitos

Anyone else I would give the benefit of the doubt because of pharmas generalized fuckery in the past. But nobody here is acting in good faith.

Dr. Lucy McBride: Yes, Credentials Do Matter With wellness experts under scrutiny, more of us are wondering how to verify a doctor’s expertise. Here’s where to start. Listen to this article.0:00/588.3640821× When the Jeffrey Epstein fi...

Looking for an article on TB treatment that breaks down all the drugs, logic for their use (like how it affects duration etc) and explains like im a 5 year old. Any recs? #idsky

I'm pretty open to anything so long as they're a good/fun speaker

Trying to find a cool speaker for ID grand rounds. Any recs for people geographically close to Philadelphia? Like DC to NY range? #idsky

That's part of my problem, yes. And I still feel that a lot of the times, Cdiff PCR positive, with positive GDH and negative toxin does not need to be treated (caveat emptor on this one). I just feel it does not give me much I did not already know and confuses most people.

That looks like sane stewardship. I'm talking scorched earth. Like, unless you can name the exact locus of gene code that the PCR targets, the exact receptors the toxin binds to, give me an EXTREMELY COMPELLING history AND name all 150 original Pokemon, you are not getting it

When I am declared God King Emperor, I am banning Cdiff PCR's

Not unless its sustained and I cant find another source. But then again, that's most of my cases.

I'm not good enough at immunology to answer that question. Maybe if there were like a quantiferon for HBV? And your point is we'll taken.
