Please vaccinate. So sad with these preventable deaths/complications.
Two people have died in Pennsylvania from measles, the state health department said. Both were unvaccinated.

These the first deaths related to measles within the state in 35 years, it reports

Anyone with a 3D model for umbilical cord that they could share? Looking online, but thought I might crowd source it to see if anyone had something they use to print out for training purposes.

In severe #RetinopathyOfPrematurity, #Dexamethasone eye drops showed no clinically significant differences in adverse events vs placebo and may offer a noninvasive alternative to reduce invasive treatment.

HAHAHAhaha! they're making the world's biggest synthetic scum pond!!!

The coating is a polyurea used inside pipes. It gels in about 3 seconds, making it non self-leveling. The texture is like an orange peel, the perfect substrate for biofilms.

Don’t pick your nose in public - h th en you have to do something with it.

False positives from MRI without symptoms is not helpful.

Anyone seeing an uptick in SIP/focal intestinal perf? CNH has had 8 in last week or so & two tonight? When I had looked at UVA data (20 years ago) we had a spring peak, but this was not born out in R. Clark’s Mednax dataset. Haven’t had case at home Level III for years.

Blue Ridge born and raised, I'm fired up beyond words by the chance to represent this beautiful new VA-6. From Charlottesville to Lynchburg, Rocktown to Roanoke, we're fighting to bring down costs and bring back our civil liberties. Together, let's turn the Blue Ridge blue!

In an age of creeping relativism, a universal moral law still exists.

Threatening to end an entire civilization of 90 million people in order to bend a nation’s conduct to your will is grossly morally wrong. It is evil. And we should say this loudly.

Here's a thought: stop pushing slop generators that have no ethical or practical justification for their destruction of the environment & theft of actual humans' hard work.

It's that simple: Never Generative AI.

Bottom left image is a great visual for trainees to learn and remember.

If the bowel loops aren’t extending out to the abdominal wall on any side and seem like it’s centralized - need to look w US to assess for Abdominal ascites.

Air filled bowel loops floating on intraabdominal fluid/ascites.

Maybe the #nicuverse is not yet populated enough for a discussion about this, but I still want to share this here.

Hi to @neonatalethics @keithbarrington @Gotped @padkaer

I foresee professional ethical battles (discussions) around preterm infants will take re-surface, similar to the battles […]

Super sneaky PAC against the redistricting push in VA (which was a response to TX) - using a photo and outdated quote from Gov Spanberger to encourage voting against the VA constitutional amendment to TEMPORARILY adopt new districts.
