@svinsociety campaign!
May is the stroke awareness month! Let’s keep helping stroke victims.

Remember the word FAST to detect stroke symptoms:
Facial drop, arm weakness, speech disturbances, time to call 911.

As we dawn into the era of @drltorres being the #neurocritical care #fellowship program director, want all #applicants to know that we are an #ACGME accredited program, probably the largest system in country, providing strong #clinical training to our fellows.

Happy to share this project that I started during my fellowship at @UTH_Neurocrit . Thanks to @abhaykjha @HuimahnChoi @AGusdon for all the mentorship!

My updates from the new NCC guidelines for aSAH (see 📸 ✅).

There are many gaps in knowledge that have not been answered since the prior edition in 2011, opening the door for more research.

I still need to check the new AHA guidelines.

The fellowship is coming to an end. Mixed feelings!! I am going to miss rounding with @HuimahnChoi, a mentor, colleague and friend! Long days of hard work, learning and fun for sure. 🧠 @UTH_Neurocrit

Just another day in the neuro icu! 🎣 Foreign body removal ( rock) with a flexible bronch! Extracted with a retrieval basket + tube exchange given its large diameter. #neurotrauma @HuimahnChoi @UTH_Neurocrit

[Walter Duarte, MD @WaltioDuarte]

@rkchoi Always challenging cases. Wanted to share a recent review we did about this topic, a few good pictures and scheme of the superficial cerebral veins. https://t.co/l22QCEa5LK https://t.co/s0InFTM7Sv

🧠Neurology Tweetorial🧠I'm often asked about localization/diagnosis in the challenging clinical presentation MULTIPLE CRANIAL NEUROPATHIES. Here is my approach, what is yours #MedTwitter #neurotwitter @NMatch2023 @rabihmgeha @DxRxEdu @caseyalbin @AvrahamCooperMD @a_charidimou?

[Walter Duarte, MD @WaltioDuarte]

@drltorres @chungk1031 @namorrismd @caseyalbin @HuimahnChoi @csmfisher @drdangayach Auch! That’s a record for sure

[Walter Duarte, MD @WaltioDuarte]

@jepatinom @UTHealth_Neuro Great job! I believe it is an extremely valuable rotation for all general neurologist/residents. It helps to understand each pathology of the 🧠 as a part of a whole system (the body)!

@UTH_Neurocrit @HuimahnChoi @rjb1865 @drltorres @abhaykjha Good reminder of choosing judiciously the tube feeding in the ICU. My take home message💡: avoid high protein doses in pts with AKI and multiple organ failure. Caution must be take on certain populations (Eg. burns) that only had a small # of cases in this trial.
