What does a 'cure' mean in multiple myeloma? Is it even possible? In this review, we first try to define a cure and then provide the evidence for why some patients may actually reach this milestone.
First: our definition (see below). authors.elsevier.com/a/1f0qL,yeo3ud…

ICU Hepatology Update:

If you feel a bit queasy - I feel the same! - whenever you admit a patient with cirrhosis/acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF), you will find useful this excellent document from the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD):

1/Neurology trainees! Does neuromuscular medicine make you feel off balance or week at the knees? Does even thinking about the brachial plexus give you PTSD? Don't fret and use my systematic approach with 'neuromuscular buckets'!

What is your goal for difference FLCs when treating a patient? Basically when would you consider it a treatment failure and switch to an alternative therapy? <40? or deeper?

👌Great Summary! 👏

And the full length manuscript is such a fantastic overview of all important ❓❓❓related to #Sjogren ‘Disease’

LBCL - histologic entities C. Thieblemont

Every time I have to attribute toxicities, I'm reminded of this gem that David Steensma, MD shared with me on how investigators confidently attributed side effects to a placebo

Reality is that attributions are subjective, inaccurate and (IMO) unnecessary

1/12 - Mystery #1

You are seeing a patient recently diagnosed with heart failure and started on GDMT. You notice that their hemoglobin (HGB) has increased (12 → 13 g/dL) in the intervening weeks.

🤔Which medication is the likely cause of this increase in HGB?

CBC RANGES WORTH MEMORIZING TO ASSESS ANEMIA

MCV 80-100 fL
MCHC 32-36 g/dL
RDW-SD < 46 fL (or RDW-CV <16%)
Retics > 120 x 10^9L = appropriate response

Easy peasy. With these ranges committed to memory, you can quickly classify (morphologically) all types of anemia.

Excellent work!

We showed the same for myeloma!
