People naturally choose the easiest and simplest transport solution for their daily journeys. For decades we engineered streets to make the car the easy choice. For the climate and health, we now need bikes and walking to be easier than driving. It's as simple as that #BikeIsBest

@toomuchaltitude @Dr_J_Underwood @CV_UHB Congratulations Jonathan!

Do you prescribe LMWH to patients during pregnancy & puerperium? @sheffielduni & Dr Sarah Davis are conducting research on how clinicians would feel about recruiting patients to clinical trials to improve data for these patients at risk for VTE.

New MHRA data on Vaccine thrombosis and thrombocytopenia from the UK. Data up to 5 April 2021. 100 cases of which 50 were cerebral vein thrombosis. 22% died. 20.6m doses of AZ vaccine. 99 after 1st dose with 1 after 2nd dose. https://t.co/TLzWuroauG #VITT #COVID19

[Michael Makris @ProfMakris]

To Haematologists: If you are using anti-PF4 for VITT confirmation, be aware that many of the standard HIT assays will be negative. The HIT ELISA assays are positive but we do not know if they all perform equally well. This is under investigation.

[Michael Makris @ProfMakris]

Another common Q: Does a personal or family history of thrombosis or thrombophilia increase the risk of VITT after AZ vaccination. No it does not.

The amazing Marsh family from the UK are back with a new musical video trying to persuade people to get vaccinated against #COVID19. Have as look even for a few seconds and you will be hooked. https://t.co/1O1BAQUF0g
