Excited to share our new paper in @Abdominal_Rad ! We studied 313 pts with pneumatosis intestinalis on CT to better predict which cases indicate bowel ischemia. By combining clinical & radiological features, we achieved 85% AUC in identifying bowel ischemia. @FraRigi @abrook

Gino's case against us has been dismissed.

Scientists cannot effectively sue other scientists for exposing fraud/errors in their work.

Those who work to correct the scientific record can sleep better tonight. Those who don’t want it corrected, well, I don’t care how they sleep.

People often think the most important part of science is the statistical analysis.

But they’re wrong.

The most important part is understanding the data. Who collected it, when, where, why, how, and from whom? Who entered and cleaned it, when, where, why, how, and for whom?

In this multi-institutional retrospective study, @hadiskavandi et al, led by @olgabrook from @BIDMCRad, explore factors that correlate with bleeding risk after splenic biopsy, including needle size @SeyedAmirEbrah1 @Vplanz @SamGalgano @abrook @BIDMC_AbdImg https://t.co/cACsy1qirV

[Olga R Brook, MD, FSAR, FSIR, FSABI, FESGAR @olgabrook]

We have shown that #18G needle #splenicbiopsy is as safe as splenic biopsy with smaller needles.
So even if it is scary, you can still biopsy spleen!

A Jewish man dies and goes to hell. The elevator door opens and he sees green fields and a kibutznik on tractor.
"What’s that?" he asks in disbelief. "I thought I was going to hell."
"This is hell," answers the kibutznik. "You should have seen the place 75 years ago!"
