Pulmonary function test (PFT) interpretation @EmmGeezee

OMG, I want to live in this article! Spiegehalter puts in words exactly how I approach probability: it doesn't exist as an objective measure, but it's still useful to pretend it does. In a way, it feels like Calibrated Bayes, my favorite kind of Bayesian!

InMotion featured a nice little summary of our systematic review investigating maintenance of training-related gains in people with COPD who complete an exercise training program: https://t.co/iESiyyvcS4 @vincavalheri @DanielGucciardi @KylieHill2015 and Hollie

Congratulations Dr @naomi_chapman1 on your PhD Graduation! @KylieHill2015 @DanielGucciardi Liz Smith and I are very proud of you. What a fantastic PhD journey you have had! @CurtinAlliedHth @warrp2

In #COPD, applying behaviour change techniques with a clear focus on participants integrating regular structured exercise into daily life beyond completion of an exercise training program is important for promoting maintenance of training-related gains. https://t.co/ba3suYR6EI

Prioritise talking about it 🗣 show patients you believe in it 💪 walk in their shoes to understand psychological perceptions 🧩... going the extra step to support engagement in pulmonary rehabilitation 🤝 @KylieHill2015 @vincavalheri @DanielGucciardi @warrp2 @CurtinAlliedHth

Congratulations @sarahhug_ on receiving the Young Investigator Award at the WA @tsanz_thoracic ASM. Important work on consumer co-design to enhance referrals of people with #COPD to #pulmonaryrehab in Western Australia. @CurtinAlliedHth @CurtinMedia

In #COPD: applying #behaviourchange techniques with a focus on integrating #exercise into daily life beyond initial PRP completion is important to #maintain PRP-related gains. @JPhysiother 👏@sarahhug_ @KylieHill2015 @DanielGucciardi https://t.co/Lh2sBZsMSn @CurtinAlliedHth

We feel defensive when we experience warranted criticism and feel threatened. Always comes off badly. I’ve developed internal alert. When I feel defensive I try respond something like: “Good point, I could have done better” or “Maybe you’re right, I could have done better by…”

Recently, GRADE has updated guidance for rating up certainty of evidence due to a dose-response gradient. This much more detailed new guidance provides new insights.
