@RayounRamendra @PulmCrit Thanks for doing such an interesting study Dr. Ramendra!

[Rayoun Ramendra @RayounRamendra]

@BradSpellberg @PulmCrit Thanks for writing this great editorial featuring our study in the context of the existing literature @BradSpellberg!

In our recently published study @JAMANetwork we observed that there was no benefit to measuring procalcitonin to determine duration of treatment in bacteremia

Supporting the existing evidence that 7 days is sufficient for most non-S aureus bacteremia

Sumiha is a @UofTEPIC Doctoral Awards recipient and a PhD student at @UofT_LMP. Her research uncovers a new role for pleural immune cells in bacterial infections of the lungs, paving the path for new therapeutic strategies: https://t.co/cgn4QWrjLo

Pepsinogen A4(PGA4) as a novel biomarker for aspiration and predictor for chronic lung allograft dysfunction in lung transplant recipients. #LungTx

@DavidDarley_ @Tereza_Martinu @AndrewTSage @SKeshavjee We're hoping to have a clinically-available tool to assess for microaspiration in the near future🤞🏽

[Rayoun Ramendra @RayounRamendra]

Silent microaspiration can cause lung injury without any symptoms of reflux.

Here we identified a protein that is found in the lungs of transplant patients with chronic microaspiration and predicts future rejection.

Microaspiration is a risk factor for rejection in lung txp recipients. PGA4 is a novel biomarker of aspiration that predicts post #lungtx outcomes. @RamendraRayoun @Tereza_Martinu @UHNTransplant

Grateful to learn from @Tereza_Martinu, @stephenjmdphd, and the entire Toronto Lung Transplant team during my GDipHR at @UofTMDprogram 🫁🔬

And excited to stay in Toronto while embarking on this new journey @UofT_DoM 🩺

[Stephen Juvet MD PhD FRCPC @stephenjmdphd]

Proud day for the research team I co-lead with @Tereza_Martinu : alumni @RamendraRayoun and @Good_Madu matched to Internal Medicine and current trainee @JulieSemenchuk was accepted to the clinician-scientist training program - all at @UofT_DoM ! Congrats to all 3!

[Rayoun Ramendra @RayounRamendra]

Achalasia and major peristaltic disorders are associated with lung allograft failure while other esophageal motility disorders are not!

Routine motility testing post-lung transplant can help identify high risk individuals for early intervention

@Tereza_Martinu @UHNTransplant

[ERS publications @ERSpublications]

ERJOR: Lung transplant recipients with oesophageal motility disorders are at an increased risk of chronic lung allograft dysfunction and failure. https://t.co/pjapIbWFeB

Excited to share this study where we identified a method to objectively assess for aspiration in donor lungs! 🫁

Combining markers of damage-inducing stimuli + host response allow for improved assessment of donor organs 🔬

@uoftmedicine @Tereza_Martinu @SKeshavjee @AndrewTSage

[JHLT @TheJHLT]

Assessing aspiration in donor 🫁 is subjective & variable between centers. Looking at 605 🫁 donors @UHNTransplant, @RamendraRayoun et al. show that donor airway bile acids can be used to objectively detect aspiration & predict post #lungtx outcomes @Tereza_Martinu @SKeshavjee

[UHN Research @UHN_Research]

A study led by Drs. Bryan Coburn & @Tereza_Martinu @UHN found that #LungTransplant recipients who experience chronic acid reflux have denser and more diverse microbial communities in their lungs >> https://t.co/zG8a55bikc;
