Management of a Hot Carotid (or, in this case, a chilled carotid) can get spicy 🌶️!
This is an area in neurology where we (actually!) have trial data, but things get complicated based on the patient's:

@MadhavThambiset was the voice of reason at the #AANAM. He delivered a Neurology Year in Review Plenary about the dubious record of the anti-proteinopathy framework inspiring therapies in #Alzheimers, #Parkinsons, and #ALS --Some highlights (1/4)
(2/4) Unblinding due to infusion-related reactions or ARIA-H was not accounted for in the sensitivity analysis of the #lecanemab trial. This and other issues have led to an inflated sense of efficacy and underestimated risk for anti-amyloid therapies.
(3/4) What's the magnitude of brain loss induced by lecanemab over the course of the trial? 3 fewer "teaspoons" of brain lost at the highest ('therapeutic') dose of lecanemab.
#Neuro manifestations in #Sjögren’s are common, present in nearly 20% (❗️), and 4M are estimated to have Sjögren’s in the US.
Neuro-Sjögren’s is poorly understood and underrecognized, and you’ll miss it if you aren’t looking for it. 🫣
But how do you find it❓

Guess who this convention is?
1000's of neurologists.
If you search this
#AANAM, you'll see the most masks out of any recent medical convention.
Guess they know the effects CoVid can have. 👇👇👇👇
Made me happy and thinking WA won't be hammered.

The opening party? Sigh..... So they kick off and get everyone infected. And then stay all week infecting all of Seattle?
No masks while dancing enthusiastically.
Excited to attend health equity symposium #AANAM @AANMember supported by Cheryl Jay Endowment. Dr. Jay made incredible contributions to our neurology training program in Haiti and I'll never forget how she took all the applicants out to lunch when I interviewed @neurores_ucsf
"Zipcode is a greater predictor of health outcome than genetic code" Dr. Joseph Betancourt @MGHMedicine , Health Equity Symposium @AANMember #AANAM
