Aron Flagg, MD

Pediatric hematologist/oncologist excited about transplant, leukemia, infectious diseases, and how they all intersect. Opinions are my own.

@nihardesai89 @ASH_hematology @drsanjeev1980 @DrAkhilX @GonzaloBentoli1 Would not call this starry sky on marrow aspirate, but classic L3 morphology cells c/w Burkitt leukemia. Confirm with flow cytometery and FISH for MYC transloc. Features of tumor lysis syndrome, check uric acid. Rasburicase, aggressive fluids, correct electrolytes, chemotherapy.

Great talk from friend and colleague Juan Vasquez about his lab’s work in targeting Krebs cycle oncometabolites in cancer. @YalePediatrics Grand Rounds. @YaleCancer @YaleMed @YaleMedicine

[Aron Flagg, MD @AronFlaggMD]

Way to go, Justin!

[Tommy Fund @TommyFundCT]

The @TommyFundCT presented Justin Gardner, MEd School Support Coordinator with a generous grant to fund two @Yale student interns to support the educational needs of patients unable to attend school while in treatment. Supply resources for the interns were also donated.

@MayoClinicINFD You had me at chitterlings 💜 #randoIDbuzzwords

Are you even a hematologist if you aren’t circulating the arteries of the hospital in a RBC costume? I might have an increased zone of central pallor and poikilocytosis - time to stock up on iron! @YalePediatrics @YaleMed @YaleCancer @YNHH #HalloweenHematologist #Halloween

@StefThomasMD I continue to propose someone (not me) should open up a splenomegaly and/or eosinophilia clinic for all these things that are almost always not hem/onc problems

[Aron Flagg, MD @AronFlaggMD]

@acweyand GVHD + leukemia relapse is always a tough one too 😕

[Aron Flagg, MD @AronFlaggMD]

@AmanWadhwaMD @UAB_ICOS @UABNews @uabpeds Congrats Aman!

[Aron Flagg, MD @AronFlaggMD]

@GomezDLeonMD @CIBMTR Thanks for the acknowledgment! It has been quite interesting to see how this area has evolved.

[Aron Flagg, MD @AronFlaggMD]

Really proud of our @YaleMed @YalePediatrics Peds BMT team (@LakshmananKris7, Niketa Shah, and stellar resident Rohaum Hamidi) for a whopping *5* posters at #Tandem23 focusing on #bmtsm for #SickleCell!

[Aron Flagg, MD @AronFlaggMD]

Will #Tandem23 finally answer this most important question…

[Aron Flagg, MD @AronFlaggMD]

Fascinating talk from James Doroshow @theNCI during #Tandem23 on the need to critically re-examine clinical trial design in the wake of the Pandemic. Trials should be streamlined to reduce burdens to patients and research teams with widespread resource limitations.

[Aron Flagg, MD @AronFlaggMD]

Not a bad way to end a clinic day… maybe the best way! 🍕 🍕 🍕

THANK YOU

Cefdinir is poorly absorbed and highly protein bound. Time > MIC is suboptimal ==> not recommended for CAP.

*Cefdinir does not equal ceftriaxone. It isn't a step up for failed amoxicillin or amoxicillin-clavulanate.

Definitely not me up late leveraging time zone differences to get my #ASH22 abstract in 😬 🤷🏻‍♂️
