Take your MTX with a double espresso? Caffeine increased MTX tolerability! Worth a try to recommend to pts AB1309 @eular_org #EULAR2020 @RheumNow @CRASCRRheum @earlyarthritis

Our study shows that HCQ retinopathy virtually never occurs in first 5 yrs, SLE has more risk than other diseases such as RA and chloroquine has a far higher risk of retinal toxicity OP0333 #EULAR2020 @RheumNow @CRASCRRheum @earlyarthritis

How to test the cranial nerves
1 - olfactory - can you smell?
2 - optic nerve - can you drive to Barnard Castle.

Congrats to our medical students who have graduated from the Southampton Medical School this month!

Ceremonies were cancelled, but academics and staff from @UoS_Medicine wanted to express their pride to all graduates now supporting the #COVID19 effort in the #NHS.

#Proud 🎓🩺👏

One of the problems with giving hydroxychlorquine off study, as is being done in widespread fashion, is it makes doing the RCT harder, which itself is used to justify giving the drug.

It's a bizarre self-fulfiling prophecy, as I see it.

@philipcrobinson Wolves are native to Russia and much more Putin’s style! Nonetheless an excellent piece of #fakenews and probably made a few people spit out their morning cornflakes!

This fantastic project by engineers and clinical researchers @unisouthampton @UoS_Medicine @UHSFT means personal respirators for clinicians can be manufactured rapidly, it's what us #nhsworkers have been praying for...thank you, you legends!#NHSheroes #COVID19 #StayHomeSaveLives

Not sure if people are clapping the NHS or for me bringing up my 50 while shadow batting in my apartment but this is great recognition for both of our hard work

[Jason Doctor @jasndoc]

@VPrasadMDMPH I liked @d_spiegel graph that shows coronavirus confers about the equivalent of 1-year of *all-cause* (aka 'normal') risk of mortality starting at age 26. This flu does not do this.
