Thrombosis and COVID-19: Controversies and (Tentative) Conclusions – Clinical Infectious Diseases

Commentary on Twitter

Excellent review of thrombosis and anticoagulation in #COVID19 by @connors_md and @RMKGandhi

Paradoxically, anticoagulation may be most beneficial in moderately ill patients with #COVID19, as the bleeding risk may be excessive in the critically ill https://t.co/75TiNs0iej pic.twitter.com/v0avzhFl3f

Prospective validation of Canadian TIA Score for subsequent stroke risk after transient ischemic attack

Prospective validation of Canadian TIA Score and comparison with ABCD2 and ABCD2i for subsequent stroke risk after transient ischaemic attack: multicentre prospective cohort study – The BMJ

See calculator: Canadian TIA Score

Commentary on Twitter

Jeff Perry is at it again! The ABCD2 score lacks the ability to discriminate low and high risk patients following TIA, so Perry et al. have validated the Canadian TIA Score.

Commentary on Twitter

Does induced hypothermia/targetted temp management improve outcomes in patients with traumatic brain injury?

Maybe or maybe not

But this trial slow to cool, not very cool, underpowered and mod rate of dropout

Prob does not answer questionhttps://t.co/UGRFmUVNV0 pic.twitter.com/c0iDqj2l2e
