1/ The impact of #Covid on $PVCT’s R&D, #DrugDiscovery, and clinical development of our #HalogenatedXanthene (#HX) medical science platform and #RoseBengalSodium (#RBS) investigational drug & drug formulation pipeline. A #THREAD.
2/ This $PVCT #thread will be an ongoing one for some time. Please check back to read it again (and again), and learn more about our medical scientific history and our lead molecule #RoseBengalSodium’s journey to becoming a multi-disease, broad-spectrum, therapeutic compound.
3/ #Covid has been a deeply painful experience, to say the least, for the U.S. and the world. It also marked a turning point in the advancement and expansion of our #HX medical science platform, as well as our lead molecule #RoseBengalSodium and the investigational drugs and drug… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

My colleague @SalmLaura and I asked doctors and researchers to look back at 2022 for an end-of-year episode of our @pandemiapodcast (and another episode to come soon on what 2023 may bring).

Every speciality who is on (or wants to be) the ‘Mucor’ team- how many are willing to admit a patient with Mucor under their care and manage (even after surgical debridement). How many were admitting before and will admit after the pandemic? (1/n)#Mucormycosis #COVID19India
Some hypothetical consultations in the emergency before and after the pandemic:
#ENT : We will operate and transfer back
#Ophthalmology : Call us during the Surgey, we will coordinate with ENT in the OT, if needed
#Neurology : Continue Amphotericin (2/n)

1. Abrupt-onset weakness needs a stroke code evaluation. Our patient presented with #fevers & < 3 hr of L-sided #weakness!! ⏱️=🧠, so this comes first!!
2. Ultimately you'll end up with a #CT scan, where you are really looking for #bleeding or other space-occupying lesions.

3. Our patient had contrast-enhancing lesions. #contrastenhancement = edema & mass effect. No enhancement = not space-occupying! This helps narrow our differential!
Hey #MedTwitter!!
This morning at our VA we had Chief @photon_ick give us a case of #ChronicSOB, where it turned out that the patient had #ABPA (#allergic bronchopulmonary #aspergillosis). It's a diagnosis we don't see too often, but one you'll definitely encounter here!! 🗝️👇

This is an #allergic condition, with 2 main predisposing conditions: #asthma & #cysticfibrosis
It can be more rarely seen in other lung disease/immunodeficiencies, but without the right lung environment like this, it is almost NEVER seen!!

2/30 #Japan’s figures have always looked good compared to many other countries, which initially led to suspicion that the ‘real’ numbers of #COVID19 #coronavirus infections & death were being played down.
3/30 #Tokyo Metropolitan Government at least has now released full #COVID19 figures, including general death rates, seeming to put this argument to rest (but these figures are also now being challenged). japantimes.co.jp/news/2020/05/0…

A Legislature exists primarily to give checks and balances to other arms of government on behalf of the people.
We ask that @nassnigeria led by @femigbaja not to pass an #InfectiousDiseaseBill that could give individuals unchecked power over the rest of Society.

1. The #InfectiousDiseaseBill is supposed to give legal structure to public management of infectious disease outbreaks like the extant #COVID19 pandemic.
But what it does is make the head of the #NCDC and the Minister of Health powerful enough to be legal tools of Dictatorship.

2. Nigeria is supposedly a democracy and laws should be drafted with the intent to help build proper institutions that can be trusted and checked to treat people equally and fairly.
@nassnigeria should not enact laws that make gods out of men.

Wonderful new podcast by @CIDRAP, giving you an inside look at what my @PublicHealthUMN class w/Dr. Osterholm is like! Highly recommend the listen! Key points from ep 1 on #COVIDー19 #COVID19:
Thread 1/10
Thread 1/10
1: @mtosterholm debunks the seasonality premise. Typical in disease outbreaks to see peak infections after 6mo, this is time to understand transmission & take action. Nothing to do w/seasonality or temp, example of active MERS transmission in Arabian desert
2/10
2/10
2: Must consider long-term plans. Something between full lockdown vs no action. Find middle ground, minimize exposure in most vulnerable pop, allow transmission in less vulnerable pop b/c less severe outcomes, they become immune & continue to work in society/care for others
3/10

1/5 Beware of “back-of-the-envelope” ✉️ calculations that try to predict how many ppl will get sick or die from #COVID19 #coronavirusoutbreak , especially when they’re done by ppl who have little experience in #infectiousdisease modeling. The current situation is not that simple
2/5 Many different factors may affect the spread of the #SARSCOV2 #coronavirus . These include different assumptions about the virus characteristics (which are still emerging), how much the virus has already spread (which is unknown since widespread testing is not occurring yet),
3/5 ...how much ppl are mixing, washing their hands, & practicing other infection control measures, and what the government & other organizations are currently doing & will do in response. These all can significantly affect the spread of the #COVID19 #coronavirus

First of all, you need a good podcast app. I absolutely love Downcast. Great app, gives you more control over playback, downloading, and allows you to categorize your podcasts into playlists (picture 2). This is where you get to customize your #FOAMed experience! #medtwitter
