Our Behind the Paper is out:

IBS drugs are often used for years, but long term safety is rarely the focus.

We found some reassuring signals and some surprises, including concerns around antidepressants.

Until now, physicians using AI in clinic had to assemble the patient’s context themselves. Allergies, comorbidities, medications, prior procedures, copy-pasted in from the chart.

Today we’re announcing a partnership with @CedarsSinai. OpenEvidence now works directly inside Epic, drawing on the patient’s full record and interpreting the medical literature through the lens of that specific patient.

Cedars-Sinai is the first academic health system to deploy patient-aware clinical intelligence at enterprise scale. The clinician asks a complex question in natural language. The answer reflects both the best available evidence and the patient in front of them.

Patient data is never stored after the clinical session or used for any other purpose.

Do get abstracts in - this will be an epic meeting in Harrogate!

Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial. Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later.

IBS patients are diagnosed young and stay on medications for years. But we know very little about their long-term safety. Our study assessed this gap: https://t.co/VFPwvmjfC8

Patients who received robot-assisted surgery vs conventional laparoscopic surgery had a higher incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications and received longer and more intense mechanical ventilation.

UKIOG are proud to publish our Research Priorities exercise for OG cancer. Over 800 patients & experts had their say as to the topics we need to focus on. Some are expected but many are research deserts at the moment. Please take a second to take a look

Tolerability, toxicity, and outcomes following surgical and non-surgical approaches to the management of patients with locally advanced oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma: multicentre retrospective cohort study
➡️https://t.co/0Pb6vGM4CK

This multicentre cohort study analysed survival outcomes of patients managed with curative intent for oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and surgery had improved survival compared with patients receiving definitive chemoradiotherapy or neoadjuvant chemotherapy + surgery. In the absence of robust Western randomized clinical trial data, neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy + surgery should be considered the standard for well selected, fit patients.

@jasonryanmd Hi Dr Ryan, MS3 from the UK here. Currently using it to study for the STEP exams. Its been a lifesaver. To be frank, BnB has almost no relevance to the UK med curriculum as the UK doesnt go as in depth as the US. (Its basically
overkill to study using BnB)
