BIOLOGICS AND TB RISK - a talk on World TB Day
TNF inhibitor - rope is the thinnest
JAKINIB- moderate, other biologics- less risk
rule out active TB ( chest X-ray)
screening- IGRA>TST
3-month HP (isoniazid + rifapentin weekly regimen)
Indian data is needed💡
👉GMM versus WMM in lupus
👉GMM- severe form, high disease activity
👉WMM- more association with ACL antibody
💡MRI can be negative

💡SLE -PAH is an unexplored yet severe entity in lupus
💡RNP association - higher PAH, more anti-PAH therapy
💡 No antibody-associated PAH behaves refractorily

What do you mean you cannot call it 'ARDS' in this non-intubated poor distressed chap OR that unfortunate lady immovable for XRays with so much activity on POCUS?!
Nah, another 'Berlin' wall falls for good!
All the #ARDS updates that you need to remember!
Managing ARDS is an art in itself. A delicate and precisely calculated play of the buttons and knobs on the big beeping machine can save lives.
With the 2024 #update in the definition of ARDS, here's today's rendering of our #HallAManual2
Rapid revision, through the wilderness of Anticoagulants, a must know domain for #Cardiology#Hematology and also for #Surgery colleagues!
For aspiring #MD Residents, and enthusiastic #MBBS students, this is probably all you need to know!
👉 Continuing on the blood thinners, today we move on to Anticoagulants!
💯 Most important in today's table is the monitoring of different anticoagulants - and it all makes sense, once you go through the table thoroughly!
The Monsoon is almost over, not the floods! The flood outside, and inside the hospital, with Tropical illness!
Today's #HallAManual snippet on a simplified approach to Acute Febrile Neutropenia with Thrombocytopenia!
LEMDS-C it is!

A thrill (literally) in MBBS days. An elephant in the MD Finals practical room. This small resemblance of a 'bishop's mitre' is crucial for survival on and off the exam papers.
A summary that could've made #Braunwald Happy!
Clicks, snaps, rumbles, whooshes: mitral valve disorders can feel like an orchestra gone wrong 🎼🙃
But once you line them up right, the music makes sense: Crisp. Clean. Settled.
Today’s notes: Mitral valve lesions. 🎧🫀
Today's Snippet from #HallAManual
🍷ACUTE PANCREATITIS 🗿
Once a forte of Surgical colleagues, now a paradigm shift in management towards a more conservative and minimally invasive approach, AP managed appropriately is an art that saves tons, of money and lives!
