I’m teaching first year med students this week; they are only about 6 weeks into school.

I take a few moments after one of my sessions to share some of my art and remind them to make space for the things and people outside of medicine that are important to them.

I certainly didn’t hear this enough in training. Wish I had.

How can we get ahead of the next #pandemic?

Syndromic molecular testing for #infectiousdisease could offer a solution – and is already used to distinguish between respiratory diseases with similar symptoms, such as #influenza, #RSV, and #COVID19. But testing must be combined with pandemic preparedness networks in which stakeholders from science, medicine, industry, and government collaborate on prevention and mitigation efforts.

We don’t yet fully understand the mechanisms between peripheral neuropathy and type II diabetes. However, new research has pointed to a number of potential biomarkers that may help us predict which patients are at greater risk of nerve damage in the future.

Do you know the difference between #digitalpathology and digitizing #pathology? One is a static tool… the other is a dynamic process that involves learning, collaboration, and a desire for growth.

Catarina Eloy, Junya Fukuoka, Anil Parwani, and Colin White explain more.
