Remember this picture every single time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam." This was #Amsterdam in the 1970's via @fietsprofessor. The cities we admire made better choices regarding cars, and are still making them today. Better choices instead of excuses.

Upfront setup work is little more, but the time savings with unparalleled exposure more than makes up for it.

Always nice when the data supports a hypothesis. Lots of work to do to reverse the frailty phenotype. Low free testosterone is associated with increased mortality in frail ...

The discrimination between vital versus urgent, is a learn-able skill. I continue to learn this skill.
Most of us spend too much time on what is urgent, and not enough time on what is important. S Covey. Use the holidays to catch up and recharge! #MondayMotivation #leadership @wiscurology

.@rezanab did a super job investigating the use of complementary medicine to affect bladder cancer treatment symptoms, which really afflict patients. Soy (Geninstein) is effective, and cost effective @Integrativeonc
Very nice work presented by one of our @emory_urology chief residents (and future @MayoUrology @UroOnc fellow!) @rezanab investigating the role of antioxidant supplementation to potentiate BCG efficacy & tolerability for NMIBC treatment @virajmaster @ssjoshimd #SUO2021 @SUO_YUO

And I would add, these are *remarkably* cost-effective markers. By which, I mean, 10-20 USD. These biomarkers are *both* prognostic, and the holy grail, predictive. Super congrats to my good friend @bilenma and my brother @DrDonaldHarvey to lead these @WinshipAtEmory efforts.
This top-cited paper co-authored by our EIC @RamalingamMD investigated the assoc b/w inflammatory markers and clinical outcomes of patients w/ adv-stage cancer who received #immunotherapy: https://t.co/62yXkpi6eF

We all have those favorite papers that we feel like aren’t read enough—this one with @spshubeck is one of mine! The surgeons with the best outcomes are humble and open to feedback—they are programmed to improve. What’s yours?
.@jdimick1: "Do you think surgical skill is a cognitive or physical skill? I think it's cognitive. My favorite paper that nobody reads is where we correlated outcomes to personality. Aggressive, not open to feedback personalities have the worst outcomes." https://t.co/4XRy9xwgDZ

To optimize early recovery of the surgical patient, don't forget there are many complementary non-pharmacolgic approaches, including PC6 acutherapy for post op N/V. Thanks to Dr. Maggie Diller for teaching us about valuable tools in this review. https://t.co/vOJXMiOo2P
