AcaMedics

AcaMedics is a international scheme for doctors and medical students. It is all about getting more involved in cutting edge research and audit!

[Mo Imam @MoAImam]

I'm an orthopaedic surgeon with 175+ publications.

You know how long it takes to review literature for a single paper? Weeks.

So I built https://t.co/u4v8owuqUH — it reads medical papers, extracts key findings, and organises them by relevance.

And https://t.co/TZyMfbTAuX — because no one should spend Sunday evenings reformatting references.

AI won't replace surgeons. But it'll give us our evenings back.

Surgeons shouldn't be spending nights reading PDFs when they could be sleeping before a 7am list.

Follow for surgery meets technology.

How do we make sense of two “negative” trials in @NEJM and a “positive” meta-analysis of the two trials in NEJM Evidence? @emil_hs and @FralickMike share some insights in this editorial: https://t.co/KNmYhXEt6b

Finding⌛️ in a clinical role to do research is a lot harder than actually doing the research! But in 2022 I somehow manged 5 publications (see 🧵) So👏 to me, my colleagues in the GI Physiology Unit @uclh, MSc students @ucl & Michele Chan from @AcaMedics Thank you for your help

@mbklee_ I like your thinking

A 35-year-old man presented with a 6-month history of increased swelling in his right leg. Physical exam revealed firmness in the right lower leg without tenderness to palpation. Magnetic resonance imaging of the area revealed multiple cystic lesions. What is the diagnosis?
