Dartmouth neurology PGY1 learning how to be a doc. Neuroimaging, neurophysiology/pathophysiology, new therapeutics, & proper techno music✌️
The precipitous drop in number of emails I need to pay attention to as a post-interview season but pre-match medical student feels a bit like being in the eye of a hurricaine. I'll take it

Every once in a while we publish a paper that moves a whole field forward. I think that's the case for this one from the Bugaj lab, where they describe proteins for THERMOGENETIC control of cellular behavior. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Honey, stop what you're doing, new hyponatremia research just dropped!

What's it say?

It looks like slow correction is associated with worse outcomes, like death and length of stay!

Was it just a small study?

No, it was a meta-analysis of almost 12,000 patients!

Correction Rates and Clinical Outcomes in Hospitalized Adults With Severe Hyponatremia
This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates the association of sodium correction rates with mortality among hospitalized adults with severe hyponatremia.
