The fact that there are multiple candidates for what this linear regression is blows my mind 🤯 (Original, of course: xkcd.com/2347/)

5/ This is far from a causal link but I think there is accumulating data that antibiotics alter the microbiome and potentially cause harm in critically ill adults (PMID: 36229047, 35616585).

6/ The true rates of bacterial superinfection in our population aren't known but many of these patients probably didn't benefit from the antibiotics they received and may have been harmed.

Ship it.
I was wondering why bitters bottles always have these jacked up old fashioned labels on em. Turns out the brothers behind this brand were entering their recipe in a contest like a hundred years ago. One brother worked on the bottle and the other the label. At game time they realized they were different sizes. They slapped the label on and entered it anyway. They lost the contest but a judge pulled em aside and told em the wonky label made their product stand out. They kept doing it and not only is Angostura one of the biggest brands in the space, their aesthetic dominates the category.

I’m in the internal medicine year in review. I’m going to try and avoid tweeting every slide but these sessions are always my jam. #SCCM2023

Humidified NIPPV might be superior to HFNC?

I feel like we don’t have a ton of head to head data on HFNC and NIPPV. The pendulum constantly swings on which is preferred.
