1/ If you're interested in learning #bioinformatics as a #novice, you're in the right place! Bioinformatics is a field that combines biology, computer science, and statistics to analyse large scale biological data. Here are some resources to get you started:-
2/ First, you'll need to learn some basic biology. #KhanAcademy has a comprehensive series of videos on biology that can help you understand the fundamentals. Check it out here: khanacademy.org/science/biology
3/ Next, you'll need to learn some basic #programming skills. #Codecademy has a great course on #Python, which is a popular programming language in bioinformatics. Check it out here: codecademy.com/learn/learn-py…
This #novice anaesthesia thread is about spinal anaesthesia.
Thanks to @anaecritmed for the suggested topic.
Once again I’ve made a summary infographic. I’ll break it down as we go and direct you to some useful resources and websites for further reading

first off -a Comprehensive summary from THE online resource for regional anaesthesia (@NYSORA)

I also strongly encourage you to look at this 3-d model to visualise the spine. It helps troubleshoot failed spinal

Spinals are a form of neuraxial block.
Specifically a block in the subarachnoid space.
The first reported case was by August Bier in 1898 using cocaine (Ester) who gave himself and assitant post-dural picture headache. Opiates were first added in 1901 by Racoviceanu-Pitesti

This #novice thread is all about inhaled anaesthetic agents (Volatiles)
It starts with a detailed infographic, which we will break down as we go along.
I’ve linked some resources that are worth exploring (for other content as well beyond this thread)
Comments welcome!

I want to recommend this YouTube channel from @UKAnesth Randall Schell has made lots of videos and they are very exam focused and comprehensive. So have a watch while exercising or commuting...

This thread is all about Monitoring Neuromuscular Blockers (NMBs) for anaesthetic novices
I think this is often underplayed in clinical practice and we can be lazy
I’ll start with this summary infographic and elaborate as we go along.

NMBs are not benign drugs. Their use (or lingering effect) is associated with:
- Risk of awareness (NAP5)
- Laryngeal weakness
- Aspiration
- Patient distress
- Adverse airway events
- Reduced hypoxic drive
…all of which we want to avoid and shouldn't leave for the PACU

The duration of action quoted for NMBs is the duration until recovery to 25% of original twitch height (roughly just after the 4th twitch is visible as far as I can tell)
Not time to full function
Not time to elimination
Not time to extubation
