Went down the rabbit hole on WHY lymphoma hate steroids and found that…
steroids induce IL-10 activity while rituximab inhibits IL-10 activity (with downstream effect of inhibiting anti-apoptotic bcl-2)

Sooo…should we be giving both at the same time in #lymphoma tx? 🤔

[Almira Apor, MD @aaporMD]

TIL,
They turned mustard gas into chemotherapy
And nukes into diagnostic/therapeutic tools in medicine

The scary and powerful things international conflict brings about 🤔

To perform well on clinical rotations, med students should “know their patients.” But what exactly does this mean?

A thread…

We learn new things everyday!

Not pointing fingers, but I think some of us are misusing the word "bulbar."

The Bulb is the archaic term for the medulla. So bulbar weakness refers only to muscles supplied by cranial nerves 9-12.

Let's play a game called "Is THIS bulbar weakness?"
