I still don't quite understand what an emulated RTC is....

Asking our fellows how they enjoyed their first @amergeriatrics.bsky.social AGS conference

#AGS25

Yes! Data from the same session suggests only 14% of those diagnosed with fragility fractures wind up on appropriate preventative pharmacologic treatment! Huge missed opportunity!

Number needed to screen to prevent a death of various conditions in 85 year old women.

DEXA has the biggest potential for harm reduction by orders if magnitude‼️

Is anything more fun than talking to students and trainees about their interest in #geriatrics?

We had so much fun at the #AGS25 resident breakfast about our fellowship program. We gave away a lot of swag but not quite all...

If you see me at AGS come say hello and get your own block M gear 💙💛

Ethical considerations in decision making - important to move beyond the binary!
Sharing decisions and seeking counsel is seen as wise in people with capacity but as weakness in people who lack capacity

Opinion: What is the point of cutting geriatrics programs? This federal proposal is not efficient, promoting health, preparing for the future nor providing you the services you expect from your tax dollars.

The HHS restructuring proposal is a disservice to Americans. I offered my perspective regarding geriatrics programs.

It’s great to see a growing community of #medsky folks from the Univ. of Michigan on this platform! Here’s a starter pack I’ve begun to compile - please share and ask to be added if you’re in any role at the Med School or the clinical world! go.bsky.app/NKhdFPM

Blood pressure reduction and all-cause dementia in people with uncontrolled hypertension: an open-label, blinded-endpoint, cluster-randomized trial - Nature Medicine In the CRHCP-3 cluster-randomized trial, blood pressure reduction lowered the risk of all-cause dementia by 15% in 33,995 individuals with hypertension.

Effective treatment of high blood pressure is low-cost and simple, and reduces the risk not only of heart attack, stroke, and kidney failure but also of dementia, according to an important new study.

3. Earlier exposure
