@MicieliA_MD How reliable is that though w/61% of patients in each group classified as "undetermined" stroke etiology? That is exceptionally high. On the flip side, only ~8% of each group were classified as atherosclerotic stroke. That's too low, esp for Chinese population.

We can no longer be hesitant, even for a moment, to call it like it is.

ADL’s @JGreenblattADL blasts MSNBC for calling Hamas “fighters” & rationalizing terror attacks: “Who’s writing the scripts?”

[Michael Teitcher, MD @TeamIsBrain]

My family and I are safe. We are worried and furious at the barbarism of our enemies, though not surprised by it. Please do what you can. Pray. Advocate for us. So few do. Even we feel just a little less alone, every bit helps. 🇮🇱

An entire family murdered in cold blood.

Kedem family: Father Jonathan, mother Tamar, 6-year-old girls Shachar and Arbel, and 4-year-old boy Omer.

Look at their happy faces.
Their love.

All of them murdered by Palestinian terrorists at Nir-oz kibbutz.
Just because they’re Jews.
🇮🇱💔

@londyloo Same with diabetic diets. Pts get insulin titrated while on diabetic diets during admission and then discharged on that insulin dosing only to go back to their regular diets 🙄

Ok, LinkedIn. You may need to revise your advertising algorithm. 1) I'm not a psychiatrist. 2) While I am a neurologist, I only trained with humans . Although animal neurology might interesting, I wouldn't have the foggiest notion how to evaluate an aphasic cat 🙀

@MeganARech We moved to Israel for personal reasons and I'm working as a stroke neurologist in Jerusalem. It's been great so far - and an interesting challenge working in a completely different system!

Is it me, or have stroke codes (and the early management of acute ischemic stroke) become really complicated? Learn to master stroke codes with our new video. https://t.co/L0zOMkEBaZ

What makes it possible and keeps it fun are the amazing nurses, residents, therapists, social workers. Plus, colleagues to brainstorm with when I’m stuck. It’s truly a team sport. 🙏

Reflecting on 2 weeks as gen neuro inpatient attending. Some highlights.
✅refractory MG
✅acute viral myositis (coxsackie)
✅Susac syndrome (legit)
✅Stroke mimic-migraine w/aura
✅Conversion d/o (these pts need us!)
✅post hypoxic movement d/o

@averagemoneymd I agree that it’s rarely an issue. Recently had a case though so curious what others think.

[Michael Teitcher, MD @TeamIsBrain]

🤔Q for the those who treat stroke: pts w/acute ischemic stroke and BP >185/110, when do you consider persistently ⬆️ BP too refractory to safely give thrombolysis?

In pts w/ ⬆️⬆️BP (eg. >240) how do you factor in risk of ⬇️perfusion w/ rapid lowering?
