Hi #MedTwitter, I’m Rogelio Flores, MD from Mexico! 🇲🇽
Currently conducting research on biomarkers in ALS patients.
My main interests are Neurology 🧠, clinical research 🔬, teaching 👨🏫 and running 🏃
Applying for the 2025 Neurology Match
9/So classically, it's from a stroke
When cells run out of ATP, the Na/K pump stops working & immediately water rushes in from osmotic pressure & cells swell
These swollen cells fill the interstitium & restrict the movement of water. This is why strokes are bright on DWI!
Let’s talk about the Top 10 cardiology papers of 2024 that shook up the field!
Hard science, no BS, 🚀 and yes — some practices WILL change.
🫀 Let’s dive in: a tweetorial thread!

I MATCHED!
After years of hard work, dedication, and countless emotions, I officially have a residency spot. I’ll be sharing soon where this next chapter begins. Huge thanks to everyone who has been part of this journey! 🙌 #Match2025
Starting residency can be challenging—presenting 10 patients daily on floors is no joke! Here’s my approach to staying efficient:
-Arrive early.
-Review age, PMH, and chief complaint.
-Check ED vitals, labs, imaging, and where the patient came from.
-Review overnight events (ask the night team), vitals, and morning labs.
-Check consultant notes (e.g., cardiology updates).
-Update assessment/plan, and place necessary orders.
-For new patients, review prior hospitalizations.
-Track hospitalization course—know the big picture.
-Check PT/case management for mobility concerns and placement.
-After chart review, talk to nurses, check telemetry, and ensure alignment.
-See patients, update them, take history, do a physical exam—always introduce yourself!
-Review with seniors to catch anything missed.
It’s challenging at first, but practice makes perfect.
I hope this helps future interns; however, I am still learning and improving!

Los biomarcadores podrían ser útiles para ayudar a algunos pacientes con declive cognitivo subjetivo a comprender mejor la patología de sus síntomas, pero se necesita más trabajo antes de realizar pruebas masivas.
