Just reading over the new rules on IG, as circulated in letter from Jim Mackey.
It is entirely appropriate to reiterate that patient records should be ONLY accessed for work-relate purposes. But the new rules are draconian and restrict the types of reasons doctors often do

News for clinicians: if you access a patient record for reflective practice/education you're required to add a note explaining what you accessed and why.
Did anyone know this? Was it announced? Because it seems intended to catch people out.

Massive meta-analysis on low carb diets just dropped
149 RCTs (!)
carb restriction improved glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR, hepatic enzymes, renal function...
Most changes seen even in isocaloric conditions (!!!)

Woken up by the sounds of athan, I woke up to walk to the nearest mosque and unexpectedly stumbled upon the opulent 16th century Suleymaniye masjid! #suleymaniye#turkey
يقول أحد الأخوة :
في طفولتي عندما كان يدخل موسم فاكهة المانجا،كان أبي يحضر منها كمية للبيت،وكنا نجلس حوله لنشاركه طعمها العذب،كنا نحب هذه الفاكهة كثيراً،فكان يعطينا اللبّ منها،ويقوم هو بأكل قشورها
كنت أراقب هذا التصرف الغريب منه دون أن أعلم السبب؟
سألته يوماً :لماذا يا أبتي؟؟
ICU studies:
In this study of intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism (PE), one-third of patients who underwent mechanical thrombectomy were in normotensive shock (SBP > 90 mm Hg but CI < 2.2 L/min/m2)
We all know the axiom that hypomagnesemia causes refractory hypokalemia.
Let's understand the interplay between the two from molecular, cellular to clinical aspects.
Wishing that at the end of this thread, we have a better understanding of S. Magnesium

I've seen this many times.

I awoke in the night, panicking about Gaza.
For me (and I suspect millions of others) that was just a nightmare.
In Gaza is it an unimaginable reality.
No one can ignore what Hamas did on 7 October. It was unambiguously wrong.
But we cannot ignore what Israel is doing either. It is not proportionate. It is way beyond self defence. It too is unambiguously wrong.
That is why calls for a ceasefire are right. These wrongs must end, now. The lives of Palestinians, Jews and others impacted all matter. Right now, nothing matters more.
It is the legal duty of all politicians in every country that has signed the Geneva Convention of 1949 to uphold it. That must mean calling for an end to this war, now.
When will the UK’s political leaders call for a ceasefire? Leaving it another day will be too late.
Me: Please write a radiology report for a CT pulmonary embolism study from the emergency department in the writing style of Edgar Allan Poe. Clinical information is "chest pain, positive d-dimer"
