"Please read the IPC report, cover to cover. Read it in sorrow and in anger. Not as words and numbers but as names and lives. Be in no doubt that this is irrefutable testimony.
"It is a famine. The Gaza Famine.
"It is a famine that we could have prevented, if we had been allowed. Yet food stacks up at borders because of systematic obstruction by Israel.
"It is a famine within a few hundred metres of food, in a fertile land.
"It is a famine that hits the most vulnerable first. Each with a name, each with a story. That strips people of dignity before it strips them of life. That forces a parent to choose which child to feed. That forces people to risk their lives to seek food.
"It is a famine that we repeatedly warned of. But that the international media has not been allowed in to cover. To bear witness.
"It is a famine in 2025. A 21st century famine watched over by drones and the most advanced military technology in history.
"It is a famine openly promoted by some Israeli leaders as a weapon of war."

Head computed tomography & neuroprognostication after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
🔍 international multicentre study within TTM2 trial including
140 unconscious patients
☢️ routine CTs obtained >48 h ≤7 days post-CA
🧠 standardised qualitative/quantitative assessments of head CT reliable and feasible methods to predict poor functional outcome after #OHCA; automated vs to manual ratings + make head CT quantification more accessible to all centres treating CA

🧠 Early methylprednisolone in comatose #OHCA patients: may improve outcome?? STEROHCA RCT on 🚑 prehospital single high-dose IV (250 mg) vs placebo
Full results #FOAMcc on @ICM

⬇️ Below visual abstract -
🔥 Should we give steroids after #OHCA? The pathophysiology of post-cardiac arrest syndrome
features ischaemic/reperfusion injury & release of high levels of inflammatory cytokines. If early reperfusion causes release of inflammatory mediators, it would make sense to provide anti-inflammatory agents as soon as possible after ROSC (even if anti-inflammatory targets are not key to improving neuro-outcomes).

Out‑of‑hospital cardiac arrest? Science continues to evolve: here 6 additional trials that have potential to influence guidelines & clinical practice
💉 COCA trial: Calcium for #OHCA
⚡️ DOSE VF trial: double sequential external
defibrillation for refractory Vfib
🩸 INCEPTION trial: early #ECLS initiation
💨 EXACT trial: reduction of O2 after CA
❄️ TTM2 trial: targeted hypothermia vs targeted normothermia
🩸 BOX Trial: BP & oxygenation targets in post-resuscitation care
