💡 JAMA Insights: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is an imaging modality that the 2025 American Thoracic Society Clinical Practice Guideline on CAP endorses as an acceptable diagnostic alternative to chest radiography for adults with suspected CAP at centers with appropriate clinical expertise.

#POCUS by trained clinicians is a guideline-endorsed alternative to chest #radiography for #pneumonia diagnosis, offering higher sensitivity and specificity, immediate results, and no ionizing radiation.

@EricTopol @SophieEganM @NYTHealth I'm glad you put this together. Branched-chain amino acids are potent insulin secretagogues and anabolic stimulants. While chronic mTOR activation helps bodybuilders hit their goals, it works directly against the cellular pathways necessary to maximize healthspan.

It is worth remembering that preparing for pregnancy comes 3 or more months prior to conception. And folic acid is not the only vitamin that should be remembered.

Many women still fall short on magnesium, vitamin D, vitamin E, iron, folate, and calcium while excess sodium, and in some cases folic acid and iron, remains common.

The Mediterranean diet has tremendous evidence, but we still do an inadequate job translating this into actual lifestyle change. Adapt it to your patient's preferences and culture - success is more achievable.

@UFEndocrinology Dr. Stacpoole was my very first mentor in medical training. Brilliant physician scientist.

One of the more significant medical advancements of the past year. You've heard "this will change things" 1000 times in the past year. This one really will.

@Jad_Sattar We should all have aspirational goals including faculty and systems. Those goals can and should be individualized but also aligned with the team mission. This post does not excuse the responsibility of faculty or systems. In agreement.

[Chris Bray @docbraymd]

A great resident or fellow learns to navigate uncertainty, communicate clearly, prioritize well, and balance self-care with professional duty. They take ownership, remain teachable, and design care around the individual patient. Just as importantly, they understand exactly which studies support current practice, including who was studied, what treatment was given, and what outcomes were measured. Knowledge matters, but so do reliability, judgment, humility, and the ability to connect evidence to the person in front of you.

[Chris Bray @docbraymd]

@samasungss There are, but the measures are too often ignored.

[Chris Bray @docbraymd]

@EricTopol @NatureMedicine I think due to the rampant burnout in medicine AI is being used for survival rather than generate an expansion of curiosity, knowledge and growth. This is from the loss of a sense of purpose, influence, and control, not from a lack of ice-cream socials and yoga/massage sessions.

rPraxis is currently in beta testing with select residency programs. Full 60+ resident X+Y schedules with all constraints and preferences optimized in under 2 minutes. Built on constraint-based optimization with ACGME compliance tracking, block and X+Y scheduling, resident preference integration, and backup/jeopardy management. We're accepting a limited number of additional programs for the beta. Interested programs can reach out at https://t.co/WCgmM5dooy. Commercial availability begins next scheduling cycle.
