1) Sooooooo.....it’s here. The long awaited D-HOPE ❄️❄️🥶🥶🥶 perfusion paper!! Thanks for the tag @ebtapper. Looked at this last night. Is it the answer we’ve been waiting for???!! A few thoughts follow....#tweetorial@DrDariusMirza
2) what is D-HOPE?? 🤔
It stands for “dual hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion”, the “dual” refers to perfusion of both the hepatic artery and portal vein. This is normally performed for 2 hours at the transplanting centre before implantation after a period of cold storage.

What do we know about #COVID19 to date - a #Tweetorial (disclaimer....I'm a surgeon...) #meded#medtwitter#coronavirusuk#coronavirus#CoronavirusUSA#covid#covid_19
I put these notes together really to help myself learn about this virus. It’s obviously only just some key points. I thought I might as well put them in this tweetorial as I’ve never done one before. All info is from peer-reviewed journals and can hopefully be digested by anyone.
