Dear friends and colleagues,

It is with overwhelming sadness that we share news of the death of our colleague, mentor and friend, Rinaldo Bellomo. During recent days, both he and his family have received dedicated, expert and compassionate care from some of the finest in our ICU community. We share their pain and sense of loss.

Over several decades, Rinaldo has made a profound and enduring impact on ICU practice in Australia, New Zealand and around the world. As a passionate researcher he challenged conventions, championed evidence-based practice in the care of the critically ill and supported countless colleagues in their research careers. As a compassionate mentor, colleague and friend, he touched and enriched numerous lives, and will be greatly missed. His loss will affect our whole community and in due course there will be opportunities to come together to celebrate his life.

This will be a difficult time for many, but we know that our memories of Rinaldo’s relentless enthusiasm, warmth, optimism and boundless energy will help us all through the weeks ahead. In lieu of flowers, Rinaldo's family would welcome donations to support his research legacy at https://t.co/29kO6OeHxe

Our sincere condolences and best wishes go out to his family, friends and colleagues.

Craig Carr, on behalf of the ANZICS community

Today, @ASMicrobiology retracted seven papers by Raoult and other authors @IHU_Marseille, all for breaches in human ethical research.
The institute gave itself permission for dozens of studies, but did not get CPP permission, as is required in France.

Look!
We named all microorganisms we isolated from people in Africa (often without local permits) after our own institution or director!
And then we wrote a paper about how many microbes are named after our own institution!

❌Sin evidencia de que funcione

Los resultados no muestran disminución constante en IL-6 y otros parámetros inflamatorios en los primeros 5 días de tratamiento

8/
ISSUES
RCTs: small size, single center, risk of bias, conflict of interest, attrition, under-reporting
Meta-analysis: heterogeneity in hyperinflammatory conditions, prophylactic (CV surgery) vs. therapeutic use, lack of individual patient data

this #KETAMINE article is still the most viewed ever of FRONTIERS IN ANESTHESIOLOGY

406,384 patients studied with surprising (?) results

patients receiving perioperative ketamine (orthopedic surgery) later developed more psychiatric outcomes...

“Why am I depressed?”

Chiropractors: spine subluxation is the root cause!

Naturopath: your body is full of toxins!

Acupuncturist: your life energy is blocked!

Homeopath: you need to balance your vital force!

Reiki practitioner: unblock your chakras!

Do you remember THAM?

We performed a systematic review, and THAM sure has a fascinating history.

Strap in for a fun ride. 🧵
