Before you merrily deck your halls, here's a guide to the potential dangers of plants traditionally associated with the festive season.

How do you map electrogram recording positions to surface interpolated data? #OpenEP (https://t.co/FBax6Hluqz) now provides several new ways (in beta!). See the Workflow here: https://t.co/BdIGqbiTco

@davidflatman @Channel5Sport @premrugby @MarkDurdenSmith Very disappointing. If I can’t watch a decent highlight package, I’ll not bother to read match reports. Will play other sports in the garden with boys, since they won’t be exposed and see skills -> potential life-long fans lost.

@dr_shai @acutemedicine He should switch to clinical pharmacology. Everyone knows what we do!

@UCATofficial What a complete farce. You can make an equally logical argument for other options.

Therapeutic inertia during treatment initiation has long-term impact on BP control due to measurement error. @ChrisNFloyd and colleagues provide further evidence for the benefit of combination antihypertensive therapy. https://t.co/BZALaYOtV5

New on 1-dose @Pfizer vaccine after prior covid
"We show that individuals with previous #SARSCoV2 infection generate strong humoral and cellular responses to one dose of BNT162b2 vaccine, with evidence of high titres of in-vitro live virus neutralisation"

@ShivaniM_KC Could still be interference if assays share methodology. Fructosamine?

Very reassuring to see that our vulnerable dialysis patients with positive SARS-CoV-2 antibodies are protected from reinfection up to 6 months later. https://t.co/qyaJTx8KsX

Good to see security guards requesting mask compliance @waitrose Whetstone today. Not a good look that one was ‘mask exempt’ and potentially breathing over every customer.

I enjoyed this quiz.

[Nick Mark MD @nickmmark]

It kinda irks me when someone describes a vital sign or lab value as “incompatible with life.”

Here’s a @tweetorial all about the extremes of physiology.

Case #1:
A 10 yo ____ presents with the following vital signs.
T 109F RR 30 HR 300 BP 142/116
