Seeing patients with COVID after a long period of quiescence. Are other physicians noticing a similar trend?

[Franzina Coutinho @franzinac]

The most fun I’ve had in a Sunday morning in a while! @lancelot_pinto @mumbaihaazirhai @qedpie

[Lancelot Pinto @lancelot_pinto]

Kudos to @mumbaihaazirhai Dr.Tushar Shah and team for such a fun couple of Sundays, full of entertaining, stimulating and out-of-the-box juxtamed quizzing! Was fun quizzing with @franzinac with our twins in the audience!

Published in @BMJ_Open this week https://t.co/AE571QGULE Increased risk of neuropsychiatric events with the use of montelukast in pediatric patients in a population-based study with 1,61,386 pediatric patients included in the analysis @iapindia @the_hindu 1/2

[Lancelot Pinto @lancelot_pinto]

Montelukast is widely prescribed in India, and sales appear to be rising. This is despite several reported adverse effects, including nightmares, depression, death by suicide. Sanjitha Muneeswaran and I make a case for stricter regulations @the_hindu 1/n

Such a fascinating study!! One that reinforces the use of sensory breaks by #OT as being so powerful. Thanks for this thread! @SahilBloom

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

Researchers studied the effects of a 20-minute walk on the cognitive performance of a group of children.

This is fascinating…

Back to school ! Been close to two years,wish it would have been sooner,but hopefully there will be no more unscientific school closures.Thanks @mybmc for no vaccine mandates and periodic RT-PCRs (both not driven by science). @smitharnair @franzinac @SunitaGeorge1 @nebuer42

[Franzina Coutinho @franzinac]

Such an inspiration!

I’ve made an explainer answering the most common questions I receive.This should help navigate uncertainties and calm fears that are associated with the present surge. https://t.co/4S8oLOFTnz (pdf has links to relevant articles). Thanks @rupieland @franzinac for the help!

[Lancelot Pinto @lancelot_pinto]

Saw this on TV yesterday,was confused.With childhood obesity on the rise,and concerns around sugar consumption being voiced around the world, this ad campaign uses added glucose as a USP for kids? @FoolzWizdom @AnantBhan @paimadhu @garytaubes @smitharnair @franzinac @sfmomsmagic

[Lancelot Pinto @lancelot_pinto]

A few doctors I know have been infected in the past week.There was the outbreak at KEM that was reported too.Even though a majority of these are mild, is it time we started thinking of boosters for frontline workers who have received their doses in Jan-Feb? @spkalantri @GKangInd
