A meta-analysis of 24 RCTs demonstrated with moderate certainty that mucolytics can improve treatment success rate by 37% and significantly improve symptoms in COPD exacerbations #AECOPD. There were no safety signals. bit.ly/3RwTzlU @ERSpublications @MathioudakisAG

Just because we can do something in healthcare does not mean we should. Dying with dignity is so important.

The psychological and physical health protections that can be afforded to at-risk populations by having event-based, or indeed daily PrEP, provided to them is undisputed, de-stigmatises HIV, and raises awareness of other STIs in the process of PrEP acquisition.

If you think you might want to avail of PrEP - visit prepster.info - and spend the word. VISIT YOUR LOCAL GUM SERVICE. Knowledge and awareness can help eradicate new transmissions of HIV. #LGBT

Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) should definitely be on your differentials list with this presentation! It’s a (often) subtly progressive neurological degenerative condition that I feel can be easily missed… Hence: tweetorial! Thread 🧵 1/
If I said: Elderly patient with bilateral hand clumsiness and gait imbalance/falls… What’s on your differentials? Thinking of doing a “tweetorial” on a little something that I’ve seen recently, that particularly interests me (although I guess this kind of gives it away 🙈).
