It’s not as much as which tool you use but more about how you use the tool.

I’m a doctor who has seen people die from vaccine-preventable diseases. What parents need to hear right now is vaccines for measles, polio, hepatitis B and other childhood diseases are safe and effective and will not cause autism. Any statement to the contrary is wrong, irresponsible, and actively makes Americans sicker.

We need to understand the real causes of autism. Studies show there’s a genetic predisposition when a mom who’s pregnant is exposed to environmental toxins which can increase a child’s risk of autism. It’s deeply troubling that, according to HHS officials, they appeared to have canceled hundreds of millions in research on autism genetics. Redirecting attention to factors we definitely know DO NOT cause autism denies families the answers they deserve.

We had two children die and many more hospitalized nationally from measles this year. Louisiana is experiencing its worst whooping cough outbreak in 35 years. Families are getting sick and people are dying from vaccine-preventable deaths, and that tragedy needs to stop.

Asking the anesthesiologists and the OR nurses who is the best surgeon for an operation is the only safe way to pick a surgeon. They are the only ones who can separate between who is nice, who would be fun to go out with and who can get the patient out of the OR in one piece.

@choandrew716 @JCVAonline Huge shoutout to the medical students @choandrew716 @andrew_s_jones_ whose dedication and curiosity helped drive this complex project forward. This is how we move the field! @URochester_SMD

@choandrew716 @JCVAonline Incredible work by the whole team! 💪 This study highlights the tough balance of anticoagulation in ECPella—where thrombosis and bleeding risks are both high.

There must not be anything else happening in this country that the DOJ is focusing on publication bias...or is this just another one of your administrative errors?

[Eric Reinhart @_Eric_Reinhart]

The Trump regime is now using US Attorneys to intimidate academic journals by sending them letters demanding they explain how they ensure ‘viewpoint diversity.’ Journal editors should be public about this and coordinate to refuse to comply with these fascist tactics.

This study shows that left-sided Impella can be used to support the right ventricle in patients who have undergone surgical tricuspid valve procedures. #Impella #RV

Rochester at number #7. Three Upstate NY cities are in the top 10. Quality of life is very apparent and is becoming discovered by many more.

We have found incorporating early rescue cardiac ultrasound and early use of ECMO saved many lives, some of whom walked out of the ICU days later.

It was awesome to work on this with @asadusman @AESpelde_MD from Penn, colleagues from Vandy and MGH.
