SBP is an extremely morbid infectious syndrome, and it has always surprised and frustrated me that we usually don’t recover a causative organism. And it seems like newer micro techniques haven’t helped? @Cortes_Penfield @ebtapper @ruben_hernaez https://t.co/8A4pHW1ehW

Interesting poll results: Most clinicians think that 1/3 of Twitter users are pathologically bradycardic? 🤔 In this fantastic 12-min video, @DrEricStrong makes a great case for why we should consider/teach 50 as the lower limit of normal HR. https://t.co/e9t2DZx66G https://t.co/5z5CEcPEzr

This table, from a recent JAMA review, summarized uses and test characteristics of various imaging modalities for cholecystitis. It has a lot of good info, but I would recommend against internalizing one component of it, marked with blue. https://t.co/VbGmX5eTWd 7/ https://t.co/qx9tAwO3ry

Purpose To update previously summarized estimates of diagnostic accuracy for acute cholecystitis and to obtain summary estimates for more recently introduced modalities. Materials and Methods A systematic search was performed in MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and CINAHL databases up to March 2011 to identify studies about evaluation of imaging modalities in patients who were suspected of…

Like any test, RUQUS is not perfect in detecting cholecystitis. A systematic review in 2012 put pooled sensitivity at 81%, but as you see in plot of included studies, there's heterogeneity, with sensitivity as low as 50% in some studies. https://t.co/ETIEpAbEch 2/ https://t.co/f8xufbF8kc

Since that systematic review in 2012, there have been many studies since evaluating value of CT in diagnosing cholecystitis. They show a range of sensitivities, but the two best/biggest studies landed on 52% and 55%. https://t.co/CVYpTt60it https://t.co/iWJ1w6GSvP 11/
