1/ Ok #medtwitter, here goes my first attempt at a #tweetorial, inspired by a recent question on wards from a learner I didn't know the full answer to:

“How good is a tuberculosis (TB) 'rule-out'?”

To try to answer this question we'll first start with a case.
2/ A 62yo female w/ recent renal transplant and remote hx of pulm TB s/p 1y DOT presents with fever. 4 wks PTA was hospitalized for 2 wks of cough, unintentional 20lbs weight loss & large LUL cavitary lesion on CT.
3/ Extensive work-up including bronchoscopy only reveals +human metapneumovirus. 4 AFB sputum smears and 3 MTB PCRs (including BAL) are negative. AFB cultures are NGTD. Patient is d/c on empiric posaconazole. 1 wk later she returns to ED with temp 102F. Cough is now resolved.

On a serious note:
Tuesday is my father's 2nd yahrzeit
Sunday 4/21 was the 2y anniversary of his death.

In reflecting back, I have some thoughts for #medtwitter, #Jews and the general public...
1/
#death #dying #grief #PalliativeCare #medicine
1. Condolence notes just need to say, "I am thinking of you" or "I was sorry to hear your news" or "I am sorry for your loss."

Don't overthink it, and don't offer false platitudes. Send your note or make your call, and the person who is #mourning knows you care.
2/
2. Show up.
For #shiva, for #kaddish. The first week, there's a lot of people around in a #Jewish house of mourning. Then everyone goes home, and we are left alone.
Offer to go to lunch. Bring dinner. Take a walk.
Join us in shul. Kaddish that first time in services was hard.

#Panel discussion on "What is the new normal for #CESEE?"
@wiiw_news #wiiwSpringSeminar
Vizek: "Very strong public sector, lot of informal economy. Croatia experienced slow growth before, so new normal not really new. But political willingness to reform very low."
Zubovic: positive trends in #Serbia: - rapid #growth in #IT sector over last 3/4 years w/ 3% to 6% share of GDP - Huge Chinese #investments, but with #externalities - Macroeconomic #stability, no fiscal #deficit anymore - foreign #debt declining - Substantial growth of #GDP

OK #hospmed19, I had told myself I wasn't going to make another #tweetorial until next week to give myself a break, but I can't help but be motivated by all the amazing #tweeps at this meeting. Long story short, here's a #medthread on #PSORIASIS!

#MedEd #FOAMed PC:@dermnetnz
1/
More and more, we are recognizing psoriasis to be a systemic disease. Aside from the psoriatic #arthritis we all know and love, there is more convincing evidence that psoriasis is linked with #cardiovascular disease and risk. As such, #multidisciplinary care is important!

2/
There are many different variants of psoriasis. The most classic is plaque psoriasis, described commonly as "salmon colored plaques with micaceous scale."

Q: Ever notice how psoriasis doesn't really get impetiginized/superinfected but eczema does? Why do you think that is?

Hello #BIWisdom tribe, and welcome to our weekly discussion.
This week on #BIWisdom I’m excited to discuss #skills for #data and #Analytics.
This is a favorite #BIWisdom topic of mine, because prior to my #Analytics journey I was a teacher in the UK. I’ve written about it a little on LinkedIn linkedin.com/pulse/positive…

OK, folks. Let’s all sit down for a quick chat about this article the “Annals of Medicine” coughed up a few weeks ago about RCT’s: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
This will be my longest TWEETORIAL yet, but that’s because we have a LOT to talk about here
Several others have discussed this recently on Twitter and I welcome their thoughts as well (@statsepi, @stephensenn, @briandavidearp, @Prof_Livengood, @learnfromerror)
