Mashup Score: 0Use and Outcomes of Peripheral Vasopressors in Early Sepsis-Induced Hypotension Across Michigan Hospitals - 1 month(s) ago
Peripheral vasopressor initiation was common across Michigan hospitals and had practical benefits, including expedited vasopressor administration and avoidance of central line placement in one-third of patients. However, the findings of wide practice variation that was not explained by patient case mix and lower use of first-line norepinephrine with peripheral administration suggest that additional standardization may be needed.

Mashup Score: 20A 53-Year-Old Woman With Seizure and Cavitary Lung Mass - 3 month(s) ago
A 53-year-old woman with no significant past medical history came to her local ED after a witnessed generalized tonic-clonic seizure. CT scan imaging of the head revealed a left frontal lobe hypodensity concerning for a mass with surrounding edema. In the previous month, she had undergone ambulatory evaluation for a subacute cough that had more recently become productive of bloody sputum. Outpatient chest radiography had demonstrated a new right lung opacity, shown on subsequent CT scan imaging to be a right upper lobe (RUL) consolidation.

Mashup Score: 41The Mountain - 4 month(s) ago
Storytelling is a fundamental part of being human. Our earliest ancestors in the genus Homo emerged in the Great Rift Valley in Africa approximately 2 million years ago/Somewhere within that time span, probably within the last 70,000 to 100,000 years, we gained the ability to speak. Perhaps the main reason we evolved that ability was to tell each other stories, such as the one I am going to tell you about my father, Dr David Cooper, his early death at 48 years old, and how, in the years since, I’ve sought to understand both him and what happened to him.
