Many thanks to creative genius @wshen16 at @UCSFEndosurg! So many colleagues that inspire us. Every. Day.
G&G is the best thing I’ve seen in a long time. Kudos @Jasosamd and @wshen16 and @UCSFSurgery to bring the wonderful side of surgery and medicine to light, especially during our trying times. M&M have met their match! #GoodOutomesAndGratitude rounds. #UCSFProud

Endocrinologists are important in caring for patients with #COVID19. “...some 30% to 40% of inpatients with COVID-19 have an endocrine-related disease: “When these people get admitted for COVID-19, their endocrine problems begin to impact their treatment...” @TheEndoSociety
Endocrine-related disorders can put many patients at risk for severe #COVID19 complications. An editorial in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism provides recommendations for the specialists who treat these patients to ensure optimal care. https://t.co/il1R4qEkcK

A great #RASJACS Journal Club last night. Fortunate to have discussion led by @docmartin22 and @DocTep. Thank you to authors @elancastermd and @Jasosamd for providing insights on their article. https://t.co/KETBW3BoTg

I absolutely love this idea!! So much can be learned from great outcomes just as they can from bad!! Congrats to @Jasosamd and colleagues on this innovative and inspiring concept!! Much needed right now!!! #MedEd
Here’s a novel, long overdue concept: @UCSFSurgery Morbidity & Mortality conference replaced by Gratitude & Good Outcomes grand rounds. ‘G & G’ instead of M & M. Inspired & lifted up by the good work & courage of @UCSF colleagues! #ucsfproud

Flame retardants in your couch (BPDEs) have an eerie similar structure to thyroxine and are endocrine disrupters. High levels of exposure be associated with risk of thyroid cancer. Black plastic casings (check your laptop) contain them too. You ingest them on ur hands. @Jasosamd

All who were eligible for subtotal resection were also eligible for total resection, but not the other way around. Large pheochromocytomas e.g. are not good candidates for subtotal adrenalectomy. The risk of reoperation needs to be balanced with the risk of adrenal insufficiency.

Partial adrenalectomies for VHL syndrome result in a rate of about 11% for steroid dependency, 11% chance of local recurrence, and 11% of contralateral recurrence over 9.25 years (median f/u) #AADAM2020 @NADF_President @TheAACE @TheEndoSociety @PheoPara @VHLAlliance

Help us learn how COVID-19 is affecting thyroid cancer patients! @UCSFEndosurg @Jasosamd @PheoSurgeon @wshen16 @EndoSurgSF @UCSF @insoosuh @TheAAES
How has COVID-19 affected you? This survey can help doctors better understand the impact of COVID-19 on #thyroid #cancer patients and survivors, and help target efforts where they are most needed. https://t.co/TzBAwpmhEz

Occupational risks of surgery are formidable. For me, validation that not wearing loupes is ergonomically smart & saving my neck...for a little longer at least. @TheAAES @StanfordSurgery

So important to put the patient in the epicenter of decision-making when considering surgical strategies. @ucsf, @DukeMedSchool & @BrighamWomens collaborators! @AmThyroidAssn
Drs. Valeria Ramundo & David Cooper discuss a provocative study by @pheosurgeon @jasosamd & colleagues. What drives a patient with a low-risk #thyroidcancer to choose between a hemi vs total #thyroidectomy? @TheAAES @TheAACE @UCSFSurgery

The recurrence of #COVID19 to 2025 will depend greatly on the duration of human immunity to the virus, a new modeling study reports. Social distancing may need to be maintained on and off into 2022 to avoid exceeding hospital care capacities, results show. https://t.co/3g0R4ZSCa9

Dr. Blaisdell was a special surgeon leader who commanded both respect and affection. I still remember his advice to me when I was a medical student applying to UC Davis residency, “Do what you are passsionate about, and do it well...” I will miss him. @PCSAsurg @AmCollSurgeons
Sad to share that we lost a surgery giant today. Dr William F. Blaisdell, 2nd Chair of UCDAVIS Surgery 1978-1995, and before that Chief of Surgery at SFGH & the SF VA passed away peacefully in his sleep. He will be missed, but legacy endures.

This is a large series and I agree subtotal adrenalectomy is an option sometimes for patients with hereditary pheochromocytoma. But, be careful with the problem of patient selection when retrospectively comparing total versus subtotal adrenal resection. @TheAAES @TheEndoSociety

In the Venn diagram, those eligible for focused parathyroidectomy belongs to a subset of those eligible for bilateral exploration. Patient selection and surgeon’s judgement are the keys to a successful focused parathyroidectomy for #PHPT or subtotal adrenalectomy for MEN2A.

Rule of thumb: Age 30-1%, 60-4%, 70-7% on abdominal scan will have an 1 cm or larger incidentaloma. No need to qualify it as “adrenal” because it is the original incidentaloma, a term coined by Dr. Glenn Geelhoed of George Washington University at the 1982 meeting of @TheAAES
About 2% of patients have adrenal incidentalomas overall. As you become older, the rate can be as high as 9%. #AADAM2020 @NADF_President @TheAACE @TheEndoSociety
