Our study in JAMA is out! 52 workers with silicosis due to engineered stone in California, 39% with advanced disease, 10 fatal cases and counting so far all in young men, predominantly immigrants. article author podcast and media coverage below @shef_gandhi

So many amazing talks today but my favorite so far - “The ILD and Transplant Journey: A Patient’s Perspective” with one of our transplant patients and @Lunglady1! So great to hear first hand from our patients and their journey. #UCLAALD

[Katie Melamed, MD @ktmel11]

Our amazing APD @davidsayah has organized the inaugural #UCLAALD symposium. I have heard so many great talks already this AM. Looking forward to the afternoon session. @UCLAPCCM @Lunglady1 @samweigtmd @GrantTurnerMD @IPScottOh and all the others in our #UCLALungTransplant group.

[David Sayah @davidsayah]

Agree! I am curious if #transplant programs have any early experience with paxlovid that they can share? If you’ve used it, how have you managed drug drug interactions (in particular with CNIs)?

[Sam Weigt, MD @samweigtmd]

@GrantTurnerMD @ACPinternists Congrats Grant!

[David Sayah @davidsayah]

@UCLAPCCM @thanh_neville @davidsayah Dr. Sayah is a super smart all around good person and physician! It is my pleasure to work with him.

[UCLA PCCM @UCLAPCCM]

1/ Let the meet up Mondays continue! This week we will be meeting the man behind the scenes, our assistant PD and the medical director of the lung and heart-lung transplant programs, @davidsayah

[David Sayah @davidsayah]

Excellent summary of the difficulties facing transplant patients given the uncertainties surrounding vaccine efficacy in this group, even after boosters. Regulators and pharma should prioritize understanding how to protect these vulnerable patients.

[Tisha Wang @drtishawang]

And #4 in pulmonary! So proud & grateful of the amazing & inspiring team I work with including @UCLAPCCM @NidaQadirMD @thanh_neville @rgbMDPhD @davidsayah @ktmel11 @CritKristin @Lunglady1 @samweigtmd @rsalehirad @SteveCSoCal @IOEmeruwa @soniajasujamd @AlexShermanMD @acmonte

[Dorry Segev @Dorry_Segev]

The new CDC vaccinated people guidelines do NOT apply to immunosuppressed/transplant patients. The fact that the CDC does not clearly say that is irresponsible. Seems it's our job to spread the word. Please do.

I am biased, but UCLA #PCCM fellowship is among the best. Not only great clinical & research training, but also terrific people: our stellar PD @drtishawang, med-ed guru @ktmel11, and most of all amazing fellows like @soniajasujamd @NoCoughEng @GiladJaffe @rsuri88 & many more.
