A #bloodclot in a deep vein is a #DVT. It can break off & travel to block blood supply to the lungs = #pulmonaryembolism (PE). Together a #DVT and #PE are collectively called venous thromboembolism #VTE. #ClotChat #WTDay22

The GAB calls for dating apps to raise awareness of monkeypox.
“We should avoid stigmatizing language – monkeypox is not a “gay disease” but can be transmitted through close physical contact in any sexual relationship.”

Unwillingness to allow women to make decisions about their own bodies coincides with the tendency to deny women decision-making roles in the areas of political, economic, social, and cultural affairs. #regressive #UnitedStates #Abortion #AbortionIsHealthcare #roeversuswade

Laws that deny access to abortion, whatever their stated objectives, discriminate, denigrate and undermine women’s capacity to make decisions about their bodies and their lives. #regressive #UnitedStates #Abortion #AbortionIsHealthcare #prochoice #roeversuswade #USSupremecourt

Why are women half as likely to receive tranexamic acid for traumatic bleeding than men?
This thought provoking article discusses the possible causes, & surprisingly suggests the most likely is unconscious gender bias among healthcare professionals medicalnewstoday.com/article…

Many VTE are preventable especially hospital associated thrombosis (HAT)
Doing VTE risk assessment & giving thromboprophylaxis if necessary needs to be done in every hospital
-will help @who achieve their target of reducing death due to non communicable disease #NCD
Let’s do it!
1 in 4 ppl worldwide die from conditions related to #thrombosis, also known as #bloodclots. Thrombosis is a common pathology underlying ischemic heart disease, ischemic stroke & venous thromboembolism (VTE). Focusing on this #NCD is essential to save lives.

This is a big moment for all who care about patient safety. Much more to do but it is also remarkable to have got to this point
#WHA74 adopted the first ever Global #PatientSafety Action Plan 2021-2030, which envisions "a world in which no one is harmed in health care, and every patient receives safe and respectful care, every time, everywhere"; provides a 10-year roadmap & actions to realize this vision.

Love these graphics from Winton Centre explaining how the risk benefit analysis for using Astra-Zeneca COVID-19 varies depending on background COVID-19 rates. Explains why we have a 40 year old cut off (lowCOVID-19 rate) & Canada & Germany have no restrictions (high rates)

PHE data show up to 50% reduction in transmission of COVID from first vaccine. 3 implications:
1) Getting a vaccine helps protect others
2) This is likely to be improved by getting your second dose
3) If people you meet are vaccinated it reduces your risk- but not completely.
NEW: Our new research shows that one dose of #COVID19 vaccine can cut household transmission by up to half.

We compared COVID-19 pts vs. other viral pneumonia pts who required ECMO.
-COVID-19 pts had significantly more PE & immunothrombosis
& more DVT coming off ECMO...
confirming what we thought:
COVID-19 produces the most profound prothrombotic state of any viral pneumonia
The GSTT experience of haemostatic complications during ECMO with flu vs COVID19 - higher rates of thrombosis (particularly in the lungs) but similar rates of major bleeding #ECMO #COVID19 #clot @GSTT_ICU @bhwords @karenbr001 @spartan_fred @Luigi_ICM

Today we announced more than 500 new jobs in Scotland as we increase our footprint in the country with support from @scotent. The @scotgov commitment to the life sciences industry is tremendous, making it an ideal place for LumiraDx to expand. bit.ly/2OJsm54

I've done more extensive research on people I've texted for approximately 3 days than Meghan apparently did on her husband

Today is a great day for medical science, and the future.
Congratulations and thank you to the NHS workers, trial volunteers and scientists who have made this a reality.
The pandemic is not over and relaxing too early would be dangerous. But this is a significant moment.
What a great moment - Maggie, the first NHS patient to be vaccinated against COVID-19. A truly historic day here @nhsuhcw and the beginning of the end of this pandemic #ThankYouNHS #CovidVaccine
