Exciting to see @AdventHealthCFL on the national stage, showcasing how technology helps distill complicated data to improve clinical care, making it easier to create connectivity, operate efficiently, optimize outcomes & decrease delays to care!
Our Central Florida Mission Control Command Center technology stood out as an industry leader bridging the gap between analytics and compassion. Sanjay Pattani, MD, Assoc. CMO of Mission Control shared his insights at @BeckersHR annual meeting in Chicago. #beckershealthcare
Exercise may be a goldmine for drug discovery: hormones, peptides & other proteins produced during exercise could be therapeutics for neurodegenerative or psychiatric disorders. But scientists are only beginning to understand the mechanisms by which exercise benefits the brain.
Exercise affects thousands of body pathways. Understanding molecular mechanisms is crucial to develop therapies that mimic brain benefits of exercise, @AdventHealthCFL neuroscientist Kirk Erickson, PhD, explains in @DrugDiscovNews: https://t.co/1kkZkcpy8q #MedTwitter#BrainHealth
Diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of 6 & a native Italy’s Sardinia region (with the 2nd highest incidence of Type 1 diabetes in the world), Dr. @AnnaCasu_ of @AdventHealthCFL explains why she's dedicated her career to finding a cure. Listen now!🎙 🎧
"Approximately 23% of kidneys procured from deceased donors are not used & discarded, resulting in preventable deaths. It is our responsibility to address this issue,” @AdventHealth clinicians said, urging the @SenateFloor Finance Committee for systemic improvements. #MedTwitter
In this recent @Healthleaders story, @CCCheney highlights how the nation’s organ transplant system has failed patients and the improvements @adventHealthCFL clinicians suggest for tracking and transportation. Read: https://t.co/qrcZhQeiZJ #MedTwitter
“This is a new frontier for medicine; we don’t have as much information about long COVID…” Dr. Dwayne Gordon of @AdventHealthCFL said. “This is a fresh approach to caring for patients & learning the best way to take care of the unique needs of long COVID patients.” #MedTwitter
@AdventHealthMD has opened a multidisciplinary clinic — the first of its kind within the hospital system — focused on treating long COVID-19. Located in Orlando, it is for patients who have COVID symptoms lasting 12 weeks or more: https://t.co/CXbRXApRqE. #adventhealthmd
“@AdventHealth had 2 significant cases in recent years, so our team clearly understood the critical importance of a rapid & reliable diagnostic tool, but unfortunately, there is not a commercially available molecular test for detecting free-living amoebas in cerebrospinal fluid.”
After three years of research and development, an @AdventHealthMD physician and clinical team have created a new test to diagnose a brain-eating amoeba within three hours. Read for more: https://t.co/QqIIlAag2S. #AdventHealthMD
New rules increase the travel necessary for organ transplants, which creates financial burdens for patients & significant issues with tracking organs in transit. @AdventHealthCFL’s Dr. Nibhanupudy proposes solutions to address these issues & improve patient care. #MedTwitter
Bobby Nibhanupudy, MD, explains multiple issues with the nation’s current organ transplant system and proposed solutions in a recent interview with LifeScienceIntelligence of @XtelligentHC. See the full story: https://t.co/FTXDNQ1bVp

@FloridaMedical@AdventHealthMD This is great insight by @DavidBuxtonMD, explaining how the stress clinicians are experiencing now is very different from traditional burnout. He also gives tangible actions clinical colleagues can take to begin to heal.
“…we can deliver a stronger chemotherapy agent directly to the liver tumors while sparing the surrounding healthy tissue,” Dr. Zakari said. “Because of the limited systemic toxic side effects, we can concurrently treat the patients with full doses of systemic chemotherapies.”
Patients with colorectal liver metastases or cholangiocarcinoma can now locally receive hepatic artery infusion to administer floxuridine directly to the liver, about 400 times more than can be administered via a vein. @OrlMedicalNews explains: https://t.co/SB8xCsRQp2 #MedTwitter
Two cases of young patients who developed brain-eating amoeba infections with very different outcomes led @AdventHealthCFL clinicians to develop a new method for testing for the 3 most common life-threatening amoebas found in freshwater.
.@AdventHealthCFL Dr. Jose Alexander and his team developed a new test to diagnose #braineating amoebas within 3 hours. Previous testing took up to 6 days, but an amoeba can kill its host in 3-7 days! Read more: https://t.co/1G5TDb7XYo #MedTwitter#LaborDaydanger
When groups meet to brainstorm, good ideas are lost. People bite their tongues due to conformity pressure, noise, and ego threat.
A better approach is brainwriting: generate ideas separately, then meet to assess and refine.
Group wisdom begins with individual creativity.
Unlike a cadaver, which can be limited once a cut is made, this technology allows students to virtually dissect the body, using their fingertips to make precise incisions & examine various sections – transverse, sagittal & coronal – as many times as needed. #MedTwitter
After 30 years of educating medical professionals, @AdventHealthU is changing the way students learn and how instructors teach with an innovative new tool called the Anatomage Table. Mohtashem Samsam, M.D., explains more here: https://t.co/ED2iUwGtGA

“We hear stories all the time of organs that don’t end up where they’re supposed to be, which could lead to a preventable death,” said @AdventHealthCFL transplant surgeon Dr. Bobby Nibhanupudy, reflecting on his personal experiences & offering solutions. #MedTwitter
Testimony to the U.S. Senate identified failures of the current organ transplant system, causing 23% of procured kidneys to go unused & discarded nationwide. AdventHealth leader Bobby Nibhanupudy, M.D., explains more: https://t.co/GDWHsSRetu

Diagnosing a rare disease can take 4-5 years & often involves an earlier misdiagnosis, Dr. Wadhawan explains in a @HCInnovationGrp interview. While rare diseases typically affect <200,000 people, there are >7,000 types. This equates to impacting 1 in 10 Americans. #MedTwitter
Rajan Wadhawan explains the challenges of rare diseases and how the new Florida Rare Disease Advisory Council is working to improve health outcomes in a Healthcare Innovation virtual session. Watch the session with Mark Hagland: https://t.co/tyhAZ5JZVo #MedTwitter#AdventHealthMD
Initial findings from a randomized, controlled clinical trial, demonstrated a difference of 20% in the nursing turnover rate, resulting in a $549,000 cost savings in retention. Julie Vincent, @AdventHealthCFL’s Chief Nursing Executive, explains more. #NurseTwitter
“I personally have taken care of pregnant women who have been hospitalized with COVID-19 infection more than once in their pregnancy..." - Dr. Humphrey of @AdventHealthCFL explains the critical role physicians can play in providing real knowledge & data in @ahahospitals’ podcast.
Rachel Humphrey, M.D., sat down with the @ahahospitals American Hospital Association on a podcast to discuss why pregnant women are more prone to serious #covid19 infections and how she manages difficult conversations on vaccinations.
