Proud to be part of this awesome project!
New clinical guidelines for iron deficiency from ASH aim to help identify cases that may otherwise go undiagnosed. Updated ferritin thresholds support earlier, more accurate diagnosis. Learn more: ow.ly/xOeg50ZOjwB @BloodPortfolio

A #ferritin threshold of 30 µg/L for #IronDeficiency screening during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy is cost effective, according to new research, generating 25.14 QALYs at a cost of $204 ,300, an improved rate compared with no screening: ow.ly/tO1s50ZLBVV
Excellent review
Altitude illness is potentially life threatening; however, it is preventable and manageable with adequate pre-travel planning and preparation.
How should doctors advise patients? #MedEd

Followup 🧵 to my 🧵from last year on Lord of The Rings-related traumatic injuries:
Here we will explore the many injuries of Frodo Baggins, a notorious trauma recidivist and high-intensity user of the Middle-Earth health care system.
His outcome was, sadly, unsurprising.

Trending now at Annals.org: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is the most common cause of anemia worldwide, and women of reproductive age are disproportionately affected due to menstrual blood loss and gynecologic disorders. In an Annals #BeyondTheGuidelines feature, two hematologists and coauthors of the 2025 Iron Consortium Guideline debate the diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of patients with IDA in the context of a young woman with IDA and heavy menstrual bleeding. bit.ly/3Tg30Nd
Agree - so many unnecessary SPEP
The recommendation to perform serum SPEP with immunofixation in every case of distal symmetric polyneuropathy has caused unnecessary harm to patients. This advice has been repeated so often that many regard it as an absolute truth. However, Dr. Go and colleagues from @MayoClinic Hematology demonstrate the very low clinical utility of monoclonal gammopathy testing in patients with peripheral neuropathy. link.springer.com/article/10…

Iron Deficiency:
NICE now recommended testing Ferritin in women with Heavy Periods. This is a change 20 years in the making and a huge step forwards to address the imbalance in healthcare affecting women
In 1968 the WHO suggested screening women for anaemia

Presented at #ISTH2026:
In a multinational randomized clinical trial, the YEARS #algorithm was noninferior to CT #pulmonary #angiography (#CTPA) alone for ruling out acute pulmonary #embolism (PE) in patients with active #cancer.
Among adults with suspected PE, the diagnostic failure rate was 1.8% for the YEARS arm and 5.5% for the CTPA-only arm over 90 days, with the upper bound of the confidence interval below the prespecified noninferiority margin.
