This is about the best summary of major articles, some I have missed, ever! You beat all my NEJM Journal Club and JAMA subscriptions hands down. Wonderful summary.
As a hospital Surgicalist, I read the Lancet article about NPWT. Was heavily (>90%) skewed to post vascular surgery lower extremity wounds, so cannot be interpreted for all surgical wounds as that is a very specific patient class. I know you are an internist, but maybe don't add a generalized statement on a surgical subject?
Very nice recap, and I love your category choices! Your thread on X was the first I'd heard of the Olezarsen trial. We see a handful of HyperTG pancreatitis each year. I'm expecting I won't be able to prescribe at discharge, as it feels like the type of med that will require a PA from a specialist (at least for now)
What a superb and thoroughly readable summary! For people who don’t get the acronyms, do what I did: take 10 seconds and look them up! You’ll learn something.
The vitamin K levels were very interesting. I have afib for many years and mostly have a fewer episodes since taking K 3 with D. Very interesting and I’m definitely keeping it up!
Great summaries Anil, but I'm struggling with the Makam paper.. Sure, doctors should strive to be pathognomonic in every case, but until they are it is vital that even those with the greatest AUROC personal curve accept the need to make a preference-based trade-off. Maximising both Se and Sp (e,g, by Youden )will almost never be optimal.
Great article. Great review by Dr. Anil Makam. I look forward to learning more and following along.
The gabapentin study and wound vac study were super interesting!
Outstanding! Thank you !

Thank you!
Great post. Appropriate audience reached and fully satisfied. We’ll pass on to other colleagues in IM, critical care, derm, plastics.

If you want to reach a wider audience, please stop using acronyms
Added “translations
Loved it and I do not even do hospital work
Thsnks
Love this, lots of actionable studies that are applicable to commonly seen patient populations. Will definitely be referencing this in the future!
A lot of these are more out of the hospital issues.

BOOM. There it is. Awesome
Wonderful summary, thank you! One I will for sure file away for my library of references.
