A simple ratio of two routine labs — RDW and albumin — independently predicts hospital, 28-day, and 1-year mortality in ICU patients with acute GI bleeding. RAR could be an easy-to-calculate addition to existing risk scores. ow.ly/BIb250Z5LeW #CriticalCare #MedTwitter

Secondhand smoke is a proven cardiovascular hazard, but does it raise resting heart rate in young adults? In 61 million representative US adults, the answer is no. SHS exposure was not associated with tachycardia across any subgroup. Read more here: ow.ly/7Ro950Z3sVr

88% of adults with unexplained GI symptoms had at least one disaccharidase deficiency, and targeted dietary or supplement interventions improved symptoms in 88% of those patients. Are we missing a highly treatable cause of IBS-like symptoms? ow.ly/xHcz50Z361A #GITwitter

Most PE survivors don't get follow-up imaging. When a dedicated PERT-linked PH clinic made it systematic, CTEPH was caught early and treated — with 100% survival at median 643-day follow-up. A model worth replicating. Learn more: ow.ly/88hh50Z1GAo #PulmonaryHypertension

Not all myocarditis is viral. One rare culprit: Toxocara. Biopsy confirmed eosinophilic myocarditis, cardiac MRI supported the finding and prompt steroids and antiparasitic therapy led to full recovery. Learn more: ow.ly/FuJc50YwomQ
