@RenoHemonc @Papa_Heme Interesting.

[Rasmoose Hoeg, MD @RasmoooseHoegMD]

@Papa_Heme Agreed.

But let's get bispecifics settled into the community before we try with CAR-T.

[Rasmoose Hoeg, MD @RasmoooseHoegMD]

@GIMedOnc Wow, Interesting. Thank you.

@nihardesai89 Maybe something is lost in translation, but is he saying cyclists should wear motorcycle helmets?

[Rasmoose Hoeg, MD @RasmoooseHoegMD]

@nickmmark That's encouraging. Fingers crossed.

[Rasmoose Hoeg, MD @RasmoooseHoegMD]

@sonbol_bassam @JCOOP_ASCO Interesting and important data.

Are you sure about randomized data in transplant patients? The Neutrodiet was the first (and only, I think) randomized trial in that population and showed no benefit of a neutropenic diet.

In January 1995 I was told I had three years to live. I never found a marrow donor. In August 1998 I entered a Phase 1 clinical trial at MD Anderson for what became Gleevec. Thirty-one years later I’m still here. Clinical trials don’t just advance science — they give patients a second chance at life.

@robolivermd @DoctorCliffyy I disagree. It's not the same idea at all.

[Rasmoose Hoeg, MD @RasmoooseHoegMD]

@robolivermd @DoctorCliffyy That's not what I said.

I have never seen a cancer found on a commercial "whole body MRI".

It is not an approved screening test.

@_Norwegian_Blue I see. Kind of like a proxy for stagnant air/poor ventilation, rather than CO2 itself being the problem. That makes sense.

[Rasmoose Hoeg, MD @RasmoooseHoegMD]

@j_g_allen In transplant medicine, HEPA filters are used primarily to reduce mold infections. It seems this trial was trying to reduce URIs (viruses). I am not sure that makes mechanistic sense. If an infected visitor breathes on a patient, a filter across the room seems unlikely to help.

[Rasmoose Hoeg, MD @RasmoooseHoegMD]

@_Norwegian_Blue @awgaffney @JAMAInternalMed I think you mean CO (carbon monoxide), right?

CO2 (the air we breathe out) levels would have to be extremely high to be dangerous.

Just went down a rabbit hole on this. I guess you can get cognitive deficits at high levels of CO2 in submarines etc.

[Rasmoose Hoeg, MD @RasmoooseHoegMD]

@_Norwegian_Blue @awgaffney @JAMAInternalMed It probably depends on all that, but we don't really know what works and what doesn't. And I bet we will never find out (no money in open windows).

It's also a lot easier to open a window in Norway than in most of the world.

[Rasmoose Hoeg, MD @RasmoooseHoegMD]

@nickmmark Doctors in Scandinavia have been unionized for decades. This is a good thing.

[Rasmoose Hoeg, MD @RasmoooseHoegMD]

@CMichaelGibson As a UC physician, I support this 100%.

[Rasmoose Hoeg, MD @RasmoooseHoegMD]

@Vaughters Hematologist here. I doubt data exist to support your claim that 2 am testing is more sensitive.

If always tested at 5 pm, I guess riders would inject at 5:05 pm.

It's really hard to imagine everyone always injecting late evening, thinking they would be safe by morning.
