@British_Airways
I did an online compensation form for delayed baggage: 3 days no baggage (the whole flight BA1444 May 24 arrived without baggage!) but never received confirmation. I therefore have no case number to track the application, and can’t enter a new one. What now??

Our latest paper on navigating high-risk aortopathies during pregnancy.
Thanks to @JACCJournals for publishing.
Hope someone finds this useful for their clinical practice

[David Juurlink @DavidJuurlink]

Have you heard about young people dying suddenly after COVID-19 vaccination?

Our new study in @PLOSMedicine shows there's absolutely nothing to that. If anything, the opposite is true.
