Breaking!!! @BarqRuby presents findings at #APSA25 from @HOPE_sci_lab highlighting that pharmacogenomics may influence #opioid rx for cardiac surgery infants. Next gen #OpioidStewardship may req #PersonalizedMedicine @ChildrensLA @KECKSchool_USC @APSASurgeons

[Lorraine Kelley-Quon, MD, MSHS, FACS, FAAP @LKelley_Quon]

Standing room only to see @BarqRuby present findings from @HOPE_sci_lab at #APSA25 highlighting increased risk of methadone treatment with prolonged fentanyl use during #ECMO. @ChildrensLA @APSASurgeons @VCUGenSurgRes @KECKSchool_USC

[Lorraine Kelley-Quon, MD, MSHS, FACS, FAAP @LKelley_Quon]

Aloha! @BarqRuby presents findings at @PCSAsurg from @HOPE_sci_lab showing #Fentanyl use is high and variable for kids receiving #ECMO despite known risks. Big need for multi-inst research collaboratives! @ChildrensLA @KECKSchool_USC @APSASurgeons

[Lorraine Kelley-Quon, MD, MSHS, FACS, FAAP @LKelley_Quon]

Happening now! #ASC2025 @BarqRuby presents findings from @HOPE_sci_lab highlighting significant lifetime costs associated with #opioid prescribing for preterm infants @ChildrensLA @KECKSchool_USC @AcademicSurgery @UnivSurg @henryleeneo @SusanHintzMD

[Jason Ryan @jasonryanmd]

Medical school will always be harder for those without family/personal wealth because (1) you have to pay for it and (2) there isn’t enough free time to work. We shouldn’t make it even harder by requiring outrageous research experience for residency which favors those with money to take time off.

Viva Las Vegas! Kicking off @ASC2025 as @BarqRuby presents data from @HOPE_sci_lab highlighting prevalence of opioid-related PGX variants for high-risk infants. Will nextgen #opioid stewardship require personalized medicine? Stay tuned! @AcademicSurgery @UnivSurg @APSASurgeons

[GW Surgery @GWSurgery]

Thank you to Dr Juliet Lee for the engaging discussion regarding women in academic medicine! Looking forward to continued growth and progression! 🌟 #womeninsurgery #surgicaleducation #surgery #progression #medtwitter #medicaleducation

BREAKING!! @BarqRuby presents findings from @HOPE_sci_lab at #ACSCC2024 highlighting variable reporting of Rx #opioid fills and refills when comparing PDMPs to EMR & patient reports @ChildrensLA @APSASurgeons @AmCollSurgeons

[Lorraine Kelley-Quon, MD, MSHS, FACS, FAAP @LKelley_Quon]

BREAKING!!! @BarqRuby presents findings from @HOPE_sci_lab @ChildrensLA highlighting how #opioid stewardship needs to expand to infants undergoing cardiac surgery. Lots of room for QI efforts! #2024AAP @SusanHintzMD @henryleeneo @A_Lakshmanan_MD @OliviaKeaneMD

[Lorraine Kelley-Quon, MD, MSHS, FACS, FAAP @LKelley_Quon]

Children of #LosAngeles ! Have no fear, the @HOPE_sci_lab is on call and at the ready for @ChildrensLA ! And we brought our #squishmellows for backup. @JRookMD @BarqRuby @jennalee1792 #PedSurgBestSurg
