#medmastodon — Public Fediverse posts

Healthcare workers of various types are in short supply in Canada. It’s a key reason why we have backlogs in care. Lots of jobs. The province of BC on the west coast has made it much easier for healthcare workers from the US to move there. Other provinces are working on shortening the process too.
Heard about this source helping Americans learn more about moving to Vancouver Island. There was a great show on CBC Radio’s programme White Coat, Black Art hosted by Dr. Brian Goldman on this topic, interviewing the Maffins who created helpful info and sources.
There is also a group on Discord with discussions and where questions can be answered, also started by the Maffins.

Wie kann #KI die Patientenversorgung verbessern und Behandelnde entlasten? Das neue Institut für Künstliche Intelligenz in der Medizin (IKIM) der #CharitéBerlin will genau das zeigen – mit evidenzbasierter Forschung und klinischer Anwendung.

Zu medizinischen Bildern einfach mal #ChatGPT befragen? Bei Bildern aus der #Nuklearmedizin ist das keine gute Idee, so eine Studie von #CharitéBerlin. Die KI liefert widersprüchliche Antworten und markiert krankhafte Veränderungen, wo gar keine sind.

The optimal treatment of prosthetic joint infection (PJI) remains uncertain.

V sensible table. Puts in writing & stratifies the question I always have in my head - what have you got to lose by incorrectly stopping Abx after a DAIR?

Essentially, if it could all go wrong, keep going. Otherwise, stop & see.

(the table is better than my summary, I know!)

"Aggressive surgical debridement with a high local concentration of targeted antibiotics at time of 1st stage revision for hip PJI, without prolonged systemic antibiotics, provides a high rate of success"

V interesting and thought-provoking paper about local delivery of antibiotics into joints, sparing systemic antibiotics. #AMS #stewardship #AMR #IDMastodon #MedMastodon #orthopedics #infection

Does it matter what time of day you get cancer treatment? Emerging research evidence suggests, "yes."

The trillions of cells in the human body run to the rhythm of an ever-ticking clock. This internal timepiece is known as the circadian rhythm

Evidence suggests that cancer also tunes its activity to the circadian rhythm and that our internal clock influences how the body breaks down and reacts to drugs.

I have #ParkinsonsPlus, #MultipleSystemAtrophy ( #MSA ) with severe autonomic dysfunction

I understand a lot of doctors treating #LongCovid don't understand #dysautonomia's, esp POTS

Speaking as a long-time sufferer, for #POTS they really should look at using #Pyridostigmine (brand name #Mestinon

It has been the best relief I've received in the past decade

The quality of my life improved after I started taking Mestinon

Significantly decreased my syncope and pre-syncope. #MedMastodon
