Thank you for the opportunity @CureMelanoma !

[Élise Di Lena @elisedilena]

Excited for the opportunity to contribute to cutting edge melanoma research!

[Melanoma Research Foundation @CureMelanoma]

We are proud to announce this year's outstanding Resident/Fellow Research Grant Awardees! Each of the 12 awardees selected are enabling innovative research for the cutaneous and rare melanoma subtypes that will advance the melanoma treatment landscape.

Grantees will explore topics ranging from vision loss after plaque radiotherapy for uveal melanoma, trends in acral melanoma, how circadian rhythms and immunotherapy outcomes are improved by light therapy and more.

View the MRF's funded researcher webpage to learn more and stay tuned for our awardee spotlights through the #MRFResearchWednesday campaign -- https://t.co/bjmC4UyZov

Really happy this is out. Looks pretty consistent with respect to pcr in the context of io. I really believe this should be an acceptable primary endpoint in future io trials

This is FUCKING INSANE

Trump's ICE goons detained a Canadian actress because of confusion over a work visa for TWO WEEKS - shackled, thrown in a van, sent to AZ, kept awake, not allowed to contact a lawyer

Want to support Canadian companies? Here are some Canadian businesses that sell high quality menswear. Some also carry womenswear. 🧵

Weekend surgical history 🧵

The Lebsche knife is used to cut across the sternum for clamshell thoracotomy.

We will briefly look at it, but mostly we'll look at the life of Max Lebsche, who was so old-school and hardcore that he was able to tell *the Nazis* to get bent.

Weekend surgical history 🧵

History does not remember Margaret Louden FRCS, who was one of the first female surgeons in the UK. We will try to remedy this.

Louden worked at the South London Hospital for Women and Children, and cared for >5000 casualties of the 'Blitz'.

It is February and we are reaching the Chief Resident Solstice…the time of year that surgical chief residents approach the absolute minimum number of f**** given.

Time moves slower near the Chief Resident Solstice than at any other time in one’s life.
(it does end, eventually)

[Jonathan Spicer MD PhD @DoctorJSpicer]

Check out this awesome new study by the spatial biologists @McGillGCI led by @LysDesharnais @sorin_mark and PI @loganawalsh! Few studies provide such detail contrasting the spatial TME of LUSC and LUAD: the two dominant NSCLC histologies! https://t.co/cYevy0n2Gj

My 🤍 is full @BalvardiS !! So nice to see you shining in fellowship @AdventHealth Colorectal Surgery! An all-star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ @McGColorectal @mcgillGenSx @McGillGenSurg #OCC2024 @MarkSoliman

[Élise Di Lena @elisedilena]

@EM_RESUS Agreed! One of my seniors (R3 then) did one on a extremely obese patient in septic shock in whom the US could not penetrate deep enough to visualize the femoral and IJ. No one else knew what to do/felt comfortable doing a blind subclavian. Very valuable. I think easier without US

[Marylise Boutros @BoutrosMarylise]

Very proud of @ncaminsky presenting on rectal cancer survivorship: 3/4 rectal cancer survivors have at least 1 moderate/severe unmet need significantly impacting QoL EQ5D ☹️ @mcgillGenSx @McGColorectal @CIUSSS_COMTL #CSF2024 #CSCRS

[Marylise Boutros @BoutrosMarylise]

Congratulations @evanwongMDCM on your research program focused on improving trauma care for the Inuit Population in Quebec funded by your @CAGS_ACCG operating grant award 👏 @mcgillGenSx @McGillDeptSurg @CIUSSS_COMTL @CAGS_Residents @auer_r

[Élise Di Lena @elisedilena]

Congratulations on a highly impactful paper in @JAMANetworkOpen showing that universal genetic screening a) works and b) impacts care in patients with #breastcancer @stephaniemwong 🎉🎉 @LDI_ILD @mcgillsurgery

[JAMA Network Open @JAMANetworkOpen]

Universal genetic testing identifies actionable germline pathogenic variants in over 1 in 20 patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer, and can help guide systemic therapy recommendations in one third of these cases, this study’s findings suggest.

So thrilled to have @RousseauMC join our team @MThoracics @mcgillsurgery! Tremendous opportunity for us to grow as a group and for our fellows to benefit from his approach and experience! @ThoracicsCanada

Welcome home @Garfinkle_R !!

@dieworkwear **Duke of Windsor, apologies!

[Élise Di Lena @elisedilena]

@dieworkwear at other types of formal/semi formal wear, such as the morning suit, the black lounge/stroller? And check out I Sarti Toscani (https://t.co/zgFQ1hBmSf) where we had the suit made, cannot say enough good things about this experience. (2/2)
