not simu-live tweeting as absolutely cannot do justice to the excellent @ExtripWorkgroup session at #KidneyWk organized by @weddellite
but want to highlight this
@DavidJuurlink quotes the IBCC on the big screen! @PulmCrit
Salicylate is a huge mimic!
emoji hyperlinks π Iβve been struggling to find the cleanest way to insert links into text, and this might be it. different emojis signal where the hyperlink jumps to. here is an interpretation key:
update to pulmonary vasculitis, based on PEXIVAS & Canadian vasculitis guidelines
πno routine role for plasma exchange in ANCA vasculitis
πno solid data to support steroid pulse, should use caution (eg, limit to 3 days & 500 mg/d methylpred, or less?)

With that last podcast we just hit a milestone, ?2million downloads. Thanks everyone for your continued support of my bromance with @PulmCrit and his epic efforts at the @iBookCC

updated chapter on babesiosis based on new IDSA guidelines (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3325β¦). very tricky diagnosis - clues may include:

πexposure to endemic area (eg costal islands off northeast)
πknown tick bite
πthrombocytopenia
