An important study that highlights how chest X-ray (CXR) evaluation, combined with bedside clinical information, can significantly improve the diagnosis of Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) in HIV-positive patients. It also underscores the importance of refining diagnostic tools to improve patient outcomes in resource-limited environments.

**New Clinical RV #PVLoop Publication Alert!** 🩺✨ Exciting research in The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation reveals that conductance catheter-based right ventricular (RV) #PVLoops are a valuable tool for RV assessment—especially when #MRI isn’t an option. This method enhances #hemodynamic insights and supports #heartfailure management with greater flexibility. ❤️ 🔗 https://lnkd.in/g88ukS6t #HeartHealth #Cardiology #MedicalResearch #ClinicalInsights #hemodynamics #cardiovasculardisease #cardiac #heart #Cardio #critcare #ICU #criticalcare #LVAD #MCS #medical #clinicalresearch

#AMCDiscoveries Researchers from Singapore General Hospital (SGH), National Cancer Centre Singapore (NCCS), SingHealth (SHHQ) and Duke-NUS Medical School compared the outcomes of high-volume, medium-volume, and low-volume hospitals performing hepatic resections using a network meta-analysis. The study supports a positive relationship between hospital volume and surgical outcomes in liver resection. Patients from high-volume hospitals experience superior outcomes in terms of lower postoperative mortality and shorter lengths of stay than medium-volume and low-volume hospitals.

Modified valsalva technique Modified Valsalva Maneuver: An Evidence-Based Approach to SVT Management Protocol: 1. Position patient supine at 45° 2. Instruct to perform strain (40 mmHg) for 15 seconds 3. Rapidly reposition supine with passive leg raise This technique has shown improved efficacy over standard Valsalva for terminating supraventricular tachycardia in the ED setting.

🌟 Transforming Vision Restoration 👁️ Excited to announce BMI OrganBank's role in the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) THEA Program, a groundbreaking effort to restore sight through whole eye transplantation. I’m proud to lead our work adapting BMI's preservation technologies to extend donor eye viability. Partnering with Wake Forest University School of Medicine in a Byers Eye Institute at Stanford led consortium to pioneer vision-restoring whole-eye transplants, we’re tackling challenges in eye transplantation. Together, we aim to turn the impossible into reality. https://lnkd.in/d4w9HCwy #VisionRestoration #EyeTransplantation #RegenerativeMedicine #BMIOrganBank #THEAProgram
