Piperacillin/tazobactam (Tazocin, Zosyn etc) is ultimately a drug for Pseudomonas aeruginosa Are you worried about Pseudomonas? Pip/taz is a great choice Not worried about Pseudomonas? You don’t need pip/taz, there is almost certainly a better option 17.7K views · 70 likes · 3 reposts · 7 replies Open on X →

Two new RCTs of adjunctive steroids for Kawasaki disease Both negative for improving coronary artery aneurysms (primary outcome) BUT both show quicker resolution of fever and inflammatory markers, and less "salvage therapy" (2nd IVIg, biologics) Does this make steroids useful? 1.9K views · 6 likes · 2 reposts · 2 replies Open on X →

A truly insane feature within the NHS is nurses needing specific training to be allowed to give IM vaccines that is completely separate from giving any other IM medication If a child needs vaccinating on a ward, frequently a paediatric SHO will need to give it Non-sensical 11.8K views · 100 likes · 5 reposts · 8 replies Open on X →

Kids are back to school, which means the onslaught of recurrent coughs and colds is about to begin! But is there any way of “boosting”kids immunity with diet/supplements or exercise to stop them getting sick?

@apsmunro I'm an engineer I fully understood the mask RCTs. These are mostly Trump obsessed loons who saw masks as a political statement more than physical protections against an airborne virus. 259 views · 7 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

@apsmunro Engineers should know better. I am a chemist and the biggest difficulty from lab to real life is scale-up and this includes all non-technical aspects as well. If I had a pound for everything that worked ‘theoretically’ or in the lab then I would no longer be a chemist 343 views · 4 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

I’ve noticed many comments criticising RCTs of masks or filters come from engineers These criticisms are often, understandably, caused by misunderstandings about what RCTs are for (engineers do not usually use RCTs) Here is my attempt to explain https://t.co/yrhWmsfLne 12K views · 35 likes · 9 reposts · 5 replies Open on X →

@apsmunro I have to agree from real-life experience: at schools, devices that were too small were installed, often placed incorrectly, left switched off, and their filters were not changed regularly. So in the end, it was just a waste of money. 1/2 1.2K views · 10 likes · 1 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

@apsmunro This is yet another highly interesting finding. It is undisputed that air purifiers filter the air very effectively and massively reduce the airborne pathogen load. If respiratory infections are nevertheless not reduced, this can only mean one thing: Airborne transmi 620 views · 8 likes · 1 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

The new RCT of air filters in care homes is fascinating, as is the response to it It’s hard to keep heads screwed on about anything pandemic related, but here I try to pull out the important lessons Tldr: if it’s that hard to use right, it’s useless https://t.co/bw5Ss67JKD 36K views · 76 likes · 13 reposts · 15 replies Open on X →
