It’s been a ~decade of accelerating bidirectional communication between cognitive science and classroom teaching. And it seems that the field is ready for a leap forward. Some thoughts on the basis of recent selected key publications🧵⬇️

2 This great literature review by @ShanaKCarpenter, @StevenCPan & Andrew Butler (2022) highlights the evidence regarding the most effective practice strategies #RetrievalPractice and #SpacedPractice. In addition… ➡️
3 They review metacognitive barriers to implementation (e.g. misconceptions, greater effort) and suggest that to develop self-regulated learners we should plan means to promote conceptual change and drive behavior on the basis of a 4-component framework.➡️
28/F fom Bolivia, no PMH, referred to you for a +Trypanosoma cruzi serology. No SSx, has normal EKG (w/ 30 sec strip), CXR & echo. Which of the following complications of Chagas’ disease has the most evidence to support treating her with benznidazole to reduce risk?

Only 1/3 got the correct answer: vertical transmission.
Although most patients with indeterminate Chagas are treated w/ benznidazole, there is limited data on the effect of Rx to progression to cardiomyopathy/GI involvement (partly because it requires decades of ffup).

There is also limited data (& no broad consensus) in treating indeterminate Chagas in patients who are at risk for reactivation (e.g. HIV, those undergoing transplant). bit.ly/2z3p5Fs bit.ly/2z00jpM

Strictly based on guidelines, 31% got the correct answer -- observe/counsel. At some point in our practice, we might have done any of the above choices, which might seem reasonable.
The goal of the Tweetorial is to discuss evidence behind Abx prescription for pharyngitis.

Respiratory viruses cause the majority of acute pharyngitis (up to 45%). Group A Strep (GAS) is the major bacterial cause & the main indication for Abx. But, it comprises only 10% of acute pharyngitis (higher in other areas).
