onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jt… Our response to ISTH guidance on COVID-19 coagulation management. Worth a read. In the absence if an RCT, the unknown has to be treated by clinical observation and clinical reasoning. Our take: anticoagulate early and aggressively. BIDMC Department of Surgery

cnn.com/2020/07/10/hea… Hard to understand why people are more comfortable watching the natural history of disease while awaiting RCT's to finish. It is a clotting disorder...if it weren't, why do otherwise healthy people show up with presenting symptom of thromboembolic stroke?

"These failures reflect a “perfect storm” of governmental ineptitude, scientific ignorance/misprioritization, and the abdication of medical training to market-driven forces." A stinging editorial that is spot on. stke.sciencemag.org/content/13/649… Science Signaling by Michael Yaffe and Christopher Barrett M.D.

great paper by RutgersPulmonaryCriticalCare Sarah Orfanos, Jared Radbel et al showing reduced dead space ventilation with tPA dosing in COVID ARDS! Response was best with early use after intubation and in those with highest levels of fibrinogen...great work! bit.ly/2GdM44a

a refugee blown out to sea by a typhoon at age 9, survived, came to US, then became a US Army Ranger and 3rd BCT 25th ID Command Sergeant Major, somebody should make a movie out of this guy's life. Its truly an incredible story of America at its best home.army.mil/hawaii/index.p…
