Diabetic Gastric Emptying Abnormalities (and sometimes normal) - Part 1
May 9, 202100:10:04Tap to summarizeAlmost nobody feels comfortable managing DELAYED gastric emptying (gastroparesis) and very few medical providers even think about RAPID gastric emptying in their diabetic patients. Even if you send these patients to GI specialists, your blood sugar co-management of these patients can be heavily impacted by these issues. Is delayed gastric emptying always a bad thing? When your patient has upper GI symptoms, how often is it a gastric emptying abnormality? Time for some answers.

Transcribe →Cytokine Storm - part 2
Dec 2, 202000:12:22Tap to summarizeDo you know what CRP is (other than saying it is an inflammatory marker)? Should we always shut down cytokines? If so, how?

Nov 30, 202000:30:21Tap to summarizeDealing with hypoxia, anticoagulation, steroids, Remdesivir, VTE, self-proning, labs, plasma, etc.I do not get into the epidemic numbers or politics or vaccines or outpatient treatments (this is really a HOSPITALIZED TREATMENT discussion for frontline providers in hospitals). Some of what is discussed is likely going to change over the next months, as has often been the case with COVID19.

PRES (Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome), also known as RPLS (Reversible Posterior Leukoencephalopathy Syndrome), is something you should recognize when you see it. Brief mentions of esmolol, nitroprusside, and other topics are scattered somewhere in between musings.
