The Mt Fuji sign for tension pnemocephalus is under scrutiny. When should you call it?
A thread about imaging this important neurosurgery complication
These woods are dark and filled with trolls. I'm going to explore bluer places with clearer skies.

New paper alert: A two-cutoff CSF Aβ42/40 approach improves Aβ detection in real world clinical settings. CSF Aβ42/40≥7.1 rules out amyloid, while ratios~5.5–7.1 benefit from Aβ PET. Key for Lecanemab stratification. #Alzheimers #Biomarkers

At #CTAD24, biomarker data suggest black and Hispanic people are less likely to have amyloid. Some suspect that comorbidities might contribute to cognitive decline. ow.ly/F0HG50Ubb22

Medicine focuses a lot on the question “will this help my patient” but not on the question “when will it help my patient.” The latter becomes important as we age. We’ve developed a “time-to-benefit” tool on eprognosis.ucsf.edu to help answer this question.

From pre-diabetes to Alzheimer’s disease in the cognitively normal, there is an ongoing push to label healthy individuals as sick. Who benefits from this and who is harmed? One of my favorite med journalism articles of 2024 dives into the debate.

Where do I file my refund request for the thousands of dollars in NJ Turnpike tolls I’ve paid over the years to support NJ’s travel infrastructure?
It’s unconscionable that NYers should have to pay to use NJ’s roads.
