Short skytorial about a fresh IBCC chapter covering all things methylxanthine-related (caffeine & theophylline).
This is a niche topic that we don't encounter in everyday practice, but it ties together some loose ends.

Using @kagi.com is like using a fork when everyone else insists on chopsticks. Yeah, people are wizards and can do cool stuff, but if you just want to find something and move on, Kagi is way better. And it's only $5 a month, not $10, for a non-pro account.

Long-Term Outcomes of Subcutaneous Versus Transvenous Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Use Among Patients on Maintenance Dialysis
Despite an elevated risk of sudden cardiac death among dialysis patients, implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) have not been shown to improve mortality and are associated with high complication rates. Subcutaneous (S-)ICDs may reduce the risk of complications for eligible dialysis patients, but safety and benefits vs transvenous (TV-ICDs are unknown.

The data is week for lifelong ASS for secondary prevention in CAD. Are we causing more bleeds than preventing MI…?
It will either take some strong advocates or new trials to overcome status-quo-bias.

Because I don't believe in gatekeeping, I'm going to tell you something that will blow your mind: going to a deli and asking for "deli thin," sliced, yellow American cheese is so much better than any cheese you will see prepackaged as singles. You will doubt that these are the same kind of cheese.
