Mashup Score: 4Variable Practice, Variable Results - 4 day(s) ago
PIC is common among CCM/PCCM applicants and program directors. About 50% of applicants and 20% of program directors share ranking intentions via PIC. Although PIC did not impact ROL for most applicants and program directors, a minority of applicants and program directors moved programs up on their ROL after receiving PIC from the other party. Applicants have mixed perspectives on PIC value. Applicants and program directors alike desire clear guidance on PIC to minimize ambiguous and misleading communication.

Mashup Score: 19The Wild, Wild West - 4 day(s) ago
In this issue of CHEST, John et al1 studied the practices and impacts of postinterview communication (PIC) after the critical care medicine/pulmonary and critical care medicine (CCM/PCCM) fellowship interviews were completed by surveying both applicants and program directors (PDs) after the 2022-2023 National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) Specialty Match. We commend the authors for completing a methodologically well-designed study by addressing a question with broad, practical implications for graduate medical education, even beyond CCM/PCCM.

Mashup Score: 1The Auto-Brewery Syndrome: A Perfect Metabolic “Storm” with Clinical and Forensic Implications - 17 day(s) ago
Auto-brewery syndrome (ABS) is a rare, unstudied, unknown, and underreported phenomenon in modern medicine. Patients with this syndrome become inebriated and may suffer the medical and social implications of alcoholism, including arrest for inebriated driving. The pathophysiology of ABS is reportedly due to a fungal type dysbiosis of the gut that ferments some carbohydrates into ethanol and may mimic a food allergy or intolerance. This syndrome should be considered in patients with chronic obstruction or hypomotility presenting with elevated breath and blood alcohol concentrations, especially after a high carbohydrate intake. A glucose challenge test should be performed as the confirmatory test. Treatment typically includes antifungal drugs combined with changes in lifestyle and nutrition. Additional studies are particularly needed on the human microbiome to shed light on how imbalances of commensal bacteria in the gut allow yeast to colonize on a pathological level.

Mashup Score: 88Misuses of “Quality of Life” Judgments in End-of-Life Care - 2 month(s) ago
Physicians’ misperceptions about their disabled patients’ quality of life (QoL) can influence their decision to offer certain medical treatments. There are at least three domains in which misconceptions about a disabled QoL might result in unequal care for disabled patients and could even lead to a patient’s untimely death: (1) futility declarations, (2) recommendations for comfort care, (3) and the distribution of scarce resources. This article argues that medical futility decisions should not be based on a physician’s QoL judgments, that physicians should not steer disabled patients into comfort care when they have treatable illnesses, and that disability alone should never be a reason to deprioritize a patient for scarce medical resources.

Nebulized TA may be more efficacious than IV TA in reducing the amount of hemoptysis and need for ED interventional procedures. Future larger studies are needed to further explore the potential of nebulized TA compared with IV TA in patients with mild hemoptysis.
