Caught this Southern Pacific rattlesnake in our gutter pipe. Turned him loose in the hills. Crotalid venom is a mixture of over 50 different identified proteins and macromolecules and has fibrinolytic and protein C activation effects causing coagulopathy.

Today, the world lost an amazing young man. Lucas van Wormer, just 19 years old. He battled pulmonary hypertension from age 4. His loving amazing parents, Steve and Marina, were at his side every minute. Lucas, you were an inspiration to everyone! #pulmhtn

Guy Meyer, a pulmonary embolism giant, has passed on. C'est avec une infinie tristesse que nous souhaitons vous faire part du décès du Professeur Guy MEYER survenu le 9 décembre 2020, il avait 62 ans. What a loss to his friends, family and the PE world.

“Joe Biden suffered hairline fractures in his right foot and will wear an orthopedic boot, Biden's team said Sunday.” In theory, he should be at fairly low risk for VTE. But age fx / boot is a risk. But... we have all seen these.... Hope he keeps moving!

Great lecture by Hooman Poor from Mt Sinai - COVID PE - and microvascular thrombosis! Role of thrombolysis in selected cases? Needs to be answered by RCT as Hooman is doing!
