🔥We will have a 1 year, and one of its kind Thrombosis Fellowship training program @ccfvascmed starting July 1, 2023. Our highly-acclaimed expert in thrombosis Dr. Marcelo Gomes is the PD. Applicants should be qualified in Vascular Medicine 🫀, hematology 🩸 or IM.
Training will be given by vascular internists, hematologist, cardiologists, clinical pathologists in thrombosis. Real mentorship & protected time for thrombosis research will also be given by @nih_nhlbi funded investigators . Thank you to @InariMedical for sponsorship !
This is a joint venture between @CleClinicHVTI @CCLRI #CleClinicCancer. Formal application available soon. Please DM me if interested. Please retweet. Our staff: my.clevelandclinic.org/departments/he….
1) Welcome to an #accredited #tweetorial on a unique emerging (in Ph3 now) option for specifically reversing the #antiplatelet effects of #ticagrelor: it's #bentracimab. Expert faculty is antithrombotic agent reversal guru @md_pollack of @UMMCnews, working to create #AHealthierMS
2) This program is intended for #healthcare professionals and is supported by an educational grant from PhaseBio Pharmaceuticals. Faculty disclosures are listed at cardiometabolic-ce.com/disclosures/, and prior programs are available for 🆓CE/#CME credit at cardiometabolic-ce.com.
3) It is an unfortunate fact of life that one cannot prescribe #anticoagulant or #antiplatelet (together, #antithrombotic) therapy without increasing a patient's #bleedingrisk. That is why it should be an individualized risk:benefit decision, ideally . . . 
Don’t miss a new accredited #tweetorial launching TOMORROW here on @cardiomet_CE. #Cardiologist, #SoMe education advocate, and true #Renaissance man @CMichaelGibson will be discussing a novel #aspirin prep that has PK/PD like plain #ASA . . .
. . . but a different site of absorption--with greater predictability than ECASA. DON'T MISS IT!! @DLBHATTMD @cpcannon @AnnMarieNavar @DrM_ODonoghue @DrMarthaGulati @practicalcardio @GuyattGH @DrMauricioCohen @SVRaoMD @ASPCardio @PlateletDoc @stephanamayer #FOAMed #CardioTwitter
1) Welcome to a #tweetorial where we’ll explore how changing the formulation of #aspirin & where it's absorbed in the GI tract can ⬇️the risk of acute GI injury, but still maintain predictable absorption. This program is accredited for 0.50h CE/#CME. I am @CMichaelGibson. #FOAMed
Join here tomorrow for the launch of a new accredited tweetorial on DAPT in patients with stable CAD+diabetes who have not (yet!) had an MI or stroke! Earn 0.5 CE/CME credits: physicians, nurses, pharmacists! Expert faculty @gabrielsteg. #medtwitter @academiccme #CardioTwitter

@DrOliverKaram moves on to talk about #platelet transfusion in the #PedsICU
He starts by telling us platelets are stored at room temperature for 5-7 days and this means they are a risk of infection source

When are platelet transfusions indicated? Expert recommendations exist... but do we follow them?
#PedsICU #WFPICCS20
#PedsICU #WFPICCS20
Each 10ml/kg platelet transfusion is associated with a 2% increase in #PedsICU mortality
Ask: do they really need that transfusion?

Inspired by @BenMazer and the topic of #platelet #transfusion in #cerebralhemorrhage patients previously taking anti-platelet therapy, I want to take a few minutes to talk about the EVIDENCE in platelet transfusion indications, thresholds, and efficacy. #blooducation
To recap, the PATCH trial (Lancet 2016) concluded that in patients taking anti-platelet medications (aspirin, plavix, etc) who had spontaneous cerebral hemorrhage, platelet transfusion was assc with WORSE outcomes than standard medical therapy.
This is shocking? Right? Here's the classic logic:
-ICH is bad
-ICH is worse if your platelets are iatrogenically broken
-Non-broken platelets are good
-Transfusion of non-broken platelets helps stop the bad bleed
-ICH is bad
-ICH is worse if your platelets are iatrogenically broken
-Non-broken platelets are good
-Transfusion of non-broken platelets helps stop the bad bleed
