@avinashkunnath Steve’s BBQ was there for me in 1984. I’m there for Steve in 2025.

@LombardiHimself Can you do a podcast discussing salary cap implications for players like Ayouk or Samuel should they never reach their pre-contract performance levels? I know it depends on many factors but how does Lynch balance “team friendly” variables with what a player requires to stay.

@CalRivals Can’t believe Rogers showed up. He always says, “Butte College” when announcing his alma mater.

@PatMcAfeeShow We didn’t get it done. But for a day you made us feel like a football school. Thank you.

@PeteThamel @CalFootball @CollegeGameDay As an alum the students made me so proud. ❤️

@reynojohn @CalFootball So many to choose from that’s saying a lot.

@Super70sSports All I see is Steve Rhodes and the kid from Silverspoons…

@journeycancer @teachseuss @bfhermann @NEJM Whether one agrees with him or not, as a father, you handled his comments with as much grace as is humanly possible. Much respect.

Rarely, an acute Type A dissection can propagate to the right axillary artery. When this occurs, best to have alternate cannulation strategies in mind, particularly when repair will require lengthier DHCA times commensurate with total arch replacements. #aortaEd #ATAAD #aortic

@AortaSurg @ADsept19 Well done! Sometimes you know when you’re doing a dissection that your dictation of the op note will take longer than the circ arrest time :)

@AshleyEProsper I was wondering if there was something inherent to R-L that led to more rapid deterioration in valve function that brought these patients to medical attention but this article gives a much more scientific explanation :)

By far the most common bicuspid aortic valve is the so called Sievert 1 with L-R fusion. I personally have not seen a Sievert 0 during SAVR & perhaps only 2-3 of the other S1 classifications. S2? Forget it. Any thoughts as to why? #bicuspid #bav #SAVR #sts

@CalFootball @CalAthletics @BRDriscoll78 @TrondGrizzell @JackEndries The epitome of perseverance. So proud of all of you!

@DrThawaba No harm in telling them to get screening TTE and/or abdominal ultrasounds. Non invasive peace of mind.

[Murray Kwon, MD, MBA @MurrayKwonMD]

@DrThawaba @mohamedvivi Always see FL thrombosis as a welcome sign. First step to stabilization of dissected aorta. This blood is coming from below. I would be more concerned if FL growth were in setting of blood coming antegrade from arch and remaining open through flow through distal tears.

@DrThawaba @ADsept19 @farkomd @ShereneShalhub @DrAliAzizzadeh @MISIRG1 I’ve seen aneurysm size plateau after initial early growth. But, she’s symptomatic and you allude to potential familial CTD. Blood enters FL from re entry tears in distal DTA, perirenally, and left CIA. Might start with distal DTA stent to block off some FL flow & go from there?

@SmidtHeart @TheJHLT @MKIttlesonMD @CedarsSinai @CedarsSinaiMed Congratulations Michelle. Well deserved.
