No difference in mortality (as expected?) but higher incidence of severe acute renal failure with permissive hypotension in Older Critically Ill Patients With Vasodilatory Hypotension https://t.co/XyBy74WAPL congrats to the authors @JAMA_current

Cohort Study: Sedentary Behavior in Adolescence Linked to Increased Risk of Depression at 18 Years of Age
13 Feb, 2020 | 07:55h | UTC
Related Commentary on Twitter
Using accelerometers over 6 years our @TheLancetPsych study shows:
– Sedentary behaviour rises through adolescence & linked with a greater risk of #depression by age 18
– Light activity falls but is linked with reduced depression risk at 18https://t.co/k1es8wiCWj@osborn_ucl pic.twitter.com/X5TYe5swhj
