A study on anti-CD19 #CARTCells therapy in elderly patients found that #CARTcell therapy was safe and effective in elderly patients. However, age ≥70 years was an independent risk factor for grade ≥3 cytokine release syndrome. https://t.co/nomDnAs96m

A truly inspiring story, with critical supporting roles from @US_FDA and @costplusdrugs.

In a retrospective cohort study at 12 hospitals (2017-2019), 25,560 out of 35,415 (72%) patients who received antibiotics within 3hrs of SIRS did not meet “true sepsis” definition. These “overtreated” patients had longer LOS and higher rates of C diff. https://t.co/6YQv2VMCAF

‼️Did you know that susceptibilities for many PO cephalosporins are inferred from cefazolin, not ceftriaxone? May overcall resistance but safest option if unable to test directly.

Removed cefdinir from our adult formulary and switched to cefuroxime. Here’s why! #downwithcefdinir
