@melissaweidman3@AJPMRjournal@PMRDocMacDonald@UofT_Physiatry Congrats Melissa! This is an important study for us all to understand as it is sometimes difficult clinically to differentiate stroke-related functional deficits from weight/habitus-related factors, which may not be as important if all will benefit!
This is an exciting position with a group of highly innovative and talented colleagues. Please consider application if you are interested in cutting-edge nerve research! @NerveSurgeon

@rkchoi Was tumefactive MS considered? I'm not sure if this is the typical MRI progression of a flare and which sequences you are showing, but the patient characteristics, presentation (including mental status and seizure in addition to focal deficits), and response to ritux does
@drpaulwinston@AntibioticDoc@DFisman @DrBrendaHardie I heard of an Ontario public health measurer yesterday that nobody knows about. You can end isolation after 5 days but if you do, you still have to mask for an additional week (unsure if it is total 10 or 14 days)
@zach_london Can you comment on B12 level units? Are you measuring pg/mL? Our lower limit of normal is usually 150-190 pg/mL but I consider under 250 to be borderline. I used to do MMA and homocysteine, but maybe will come back to it if you're saying <500 is suspect...
Hey there! Would you like to know a reasonable workup for distal symmetric polyneuropathy (DSP)?
(Zach waves hand, warmly beckoning you in.)
Mr. X has progressive distal symmetric foot numbness and that's it. What labs & studies do you want? #tweetorial#meded#NeuroTwitter 1/9
@zach_london Love this tweetorial. If there's distal weakness and normal initial workup (B12, thyroid profile, blood sugars and SPEP/gammopathyscreen/Kappa:lambda), with evidence of length dependent motor involvement on NCS, I usually will go ahead with the comprehensive blood workup
