@chtransit Are buses frequently ahead of schedule? Riding a lot of new-to-me routes these days due to car repairs and have missed or near-missed multiple busses despite being at stop on time per time table.

This week’s inpatient service brought to you by “Not every anion gap metabolic acidosis with hyperglycemia is DKA!” Don’t assume it’s DKA, and take a look at BHB, UA, and VBG to help you decide! 💪🏼

@chtransit No 7:10 am CL this morning? Did I miss it? Tried to make a transfer on campus up to Eastowne, without a car due to an accident with a 🦌.

Quick guide for initiating insulin in individuals admitted with hyperglycemia and who are insulin-naive:

Total insulin daily dose (TIDD):
-Underweight, elderly, HD: 0.3 U/kg
- “Normal" weight: 0.4 U/kg
- Overweight: 0.5 U/kg
- Obesity or starting steroids: 0.6 U/kg

🤔Ever wondered if they really need that levothyroxine?

It's the *most prescribed drug in the US*, with around 7% of people taking it.

😮Up to 90% of those on LT4 may not actually need it.

‼️Beware: TSH fluctuates! It rises in winter and dips in summer.

[Endocrine dialogues @EndoDialogues]

What situations can both decrease weight and increase insulin resistance?

- Hyperglycemia itself
- Thyrotoxicosis
- Pheochromocytoma
- Pancreatic cancer
- Acute pancreatitis (chronic causes insulin deficiency)

What else? Help me enlarging this list #MedX

Follow @LittleBigGloms’s 🧵 below for a link to our newly published case report on ectopic Cushing syndrome - a great case I saw as an intern on one of our inpatient general medicine services. Kudos to incredibly smart consultants (and friends) @LittleBigGloms and @krklein1!

APOE4 is a gene variant linked to higher risk for #AlzheimersDisease. 🧠

Under the microscope, Sarah Cohen, PhD (@cohenlaboratory) and @ia_windham observed APOE4's affinity for lipid droplets, citing how this interaction causes disorder in the brain.
