Very proud of the students and faculty at Jefferson @JeffersonUniv who created https://t.co/MYLyV47ZCb, then the Yeo writing prize, and now have the winners highlighted in the Inquirer. These are human tales of this pandemic that we need to not forget. https://t.co/nwWh3xPcjD
Super excited to have a story I wrote published in @Pulsevoices! Couldn't have done it without the brilliance and support of @dansnyd24

@mmc_im 🚨New data alert!🚨 We think of SGLT2 inhibitors as diabetes meds, but they're cardioprotective as well: Empagliflozin was found to decrease risk of CV death or hospitalization d/t HF by 25% compared to placebo, regardless of presence/absence of diabetes

@mmc_im A double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 14 pts w/ psychogenic polydipsia showed that either enalapril, clonidine, or both combined provided benefit in ~60% of participants. Small study, and direct I/O's were not measured, but a place to start?

Racism exists in healthcare. COVID Stories stands in solidarity with the black community and communities of color who have faced inequities for centuries. We invite members of the Jefferson community to share their experiences with racism.
