TOP 9 HIGH-RISK PLACES /Settings for SARS-CoV-2 TRANSMISSION !!! From 2 recent studies : ▶️ Workplaces, especially open-plan offices ▶️ Long-distance public transport like trains and airplanes ▶️ Certain retail settings like convenience stores and takeaway delivery

Largest prospective study of #LongCovid in children and teens with 3-year follow-up https://t.co/338AFEnoLp by @LaCampo4 and colleagues —significant, long-lasting impact —increased risk of autoimmune diseases —reduction of risk with vaccination/boosters, especially among teens

Happy Labor Day.

Breathe easy with cleaner air!️ Open windows, use air purifiers, and maintain your HVAC systems to help reduce the spread of COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses. For more tips for cleaner air, visit: https://t.co/cZIV1fBMmu

Hi there! Just a reminder that we absolutely crushed seasonal flu and and drove one lineage extinct when we made an effort to mitigate viral transmission. SARS-CoV-2 isn't so easy, but imagine if we cleaned the air rather than only relying on individual behaviour.

Having grown up in NZ and lived in the UK for a year I'm proud (and lucky) to be able to choose Australia as my home. IMO a fair chunk of our advantage is down policy differences, but wealth is probably also significant. 🧵

(1/x) We often talk about source control in sepsis, but what does this actually look like for a patient with septic shock in the ICU? Some are obvious (e.g. perforated bowel = OR) but others often get overlooked. A 🧵on often missed source control strategies. #medtwitter

Out now! More NAP7 Cardiology patients receiving anaesthesia -often an unplanned event -logistically high risk (remote & unfamiliar environment?) -medically high (>1% of anaesthesia activity vs almost 10% of cardiac arrests) -poor outcomes (Contrasts very much with cardiac

Consensus guidelines for the management of INTUBTION of patients with a PHYSIOLOGICALLY DIFFICULT AIRWAY ICU& ED & on the ward/floor ((& maybe of use for PHEM) Just out in @yourICM Great work leading the project by @KunalKaramchan2 @SheilaMyatra & a rather big team Highlights

Amazing innovation in care! Thanks Dr Chen Ching Kitt for sharing your incredible work on the use of 3D printing in Congenital Heart Disease #APICS2024 #pedsICU @ongsoomay @BenGelbarttwitr @drgregkelly @LRSorce @drpetaalexander

I don’t think it’s well understood that the number of people suffering from #LongCovid is not just very large, but it’s expanding. It doesn’t have to continue.

Peter Dutton keeps standing up and taking repeated cracks at me and my community. He should focus on improving the lives of the 26 million other Australians out there instead. And if he wants to have a conversation comparing his work over the past two years to mine, let’s have

New @pedsintensiva, #AirwayManagement in #pedsICU patients w resp compromise. It's a good one 2 best things about this project are 1) I get to deep dive on a topic and then check my knowledge w the world's best and 2) my co hosts @drpetaalexander, @karen_choong & Mike Clifford

Them: "If Covid were damaging people's abilities to fight other infections then we'd see a huge rise in illnesses right across the board" The Other Infections: <see picture> Them: "No, not like that"

We've had a huge response to our first webinar! There's still time to register if you'd like to learn about the role of clean air in keeping kids and teachers healthy in schools. Wed 24 July, 6-7pm AEST https://t.co/lj32q6l4fD @drgregkelly

The idea that you could decrease infections by increasing infections has to go down as one of the worst ideas in the history of medicine. It ranks up there with bloodletting to get rid of evil humors. Infecting kids also had nothing to do with education, did it.

Excellent thread from a leading long covid researcher

I think what the old guard have failed to grasp is that speaking collectively is no longer regarded as a strength. @SenatorPayman crossing the floor is true strength, and demonstrating that strength casts the Labor caucus as a solidarity of cowards, no matter how 'long-held'.

Life expectancy in Oz improved in 2020-21, bucking the global trend, but has significantly worsened since. The single reason for both is pandemic management. Explained in this @BurnetInstitute submission https://t.co/H58U8pts81 https://t.co/kifiYIZV1d
