Essential microskill for airway assistants! When intubating over a bougie, the bougie is placed into the trachea and the assistant places the tube over the bougie Because bougies are straight and tracheal tubes have a curve, there is a tendency for the bougie to hit against the inside of the 15 mm connector on the end of the tube An essential microskill for airway assistants is to gently straighten the tube so the bougie goes through the connector rather than hitting against it (Video best with sound on)

Should we be reaching for lorazepam (Ativan) for seizures? The short answer is no, our first line therapy should be midazolam (Versed). Midazolam has a faster onset time and is tolerated well in very high doses provided adequate airway support. One high-quality RCT found that IM midazolam worked as well as IV lorazepam. -PMID 22335736 The right starting dose of IM midazolam is 10mg. That said, at least they got the dose correct. The dose for seizures is NOT 1mg of lorazepam. The starting dose should be 4-8mg (0.1mg/kg). In one high-quality, using a higher dose resulted in LESS intubations than lower doses. This is because the seizures terminated faster. Use the same dosing for midazolam. -PMID 33664203, 9738086 #emergency #emergencymedicine #criticalcare #icu #erlife #iculife #science #army #armymedicine #armyemdoc #resuscitation #research #data #neurology #brain #seizure #medx #medtwitter

"Don't give nitrates to right-sided 🫀myocardial infarctions" This is a myth that continues to get taught due to the theory that right-sided MIs are sensitive to preload, which nitrates reduce. A recent systematic review (n=1113) failed to substantiate this purported risk. #emergency #emergencymedicine #foam #foamed #foamcc #army #armymedicine #armyemdoc #meded #icu #criticalcare #meded #science #research #data #medx #medtwitter

ED boarding is when a patient is admitted but physically remains in the ED. Unlike the floors or ICUs, there is no "capacity" in the ED. While nursing ratio recommendations exist, there is no method to enforce it given the nature of EM workflow. Is ED boarding really as big of a deal as he says? The short answer is: yes. My record for ED LOS exceeds a month, and the worst nursing ratios were 13 patients per nurse. The latter was in early COVID. One systematic review included 7 studies and over 75,000 patients. Here’s the gist of what they found: -higher rates of missing treatment interventions (9%) -higher rates of missing home medications (18%) -higher rates of missing lab studies (3%) -higher odds of orders not being filled on time (OR 1.84, 1.46-2.30) -higher odds of orders not being filled altogether (OR 2.58, 1.94-3.42 -higher odds of delirium in the elderly (OR 2.23, 1.13-4.41) -higher odds of drug-related adverse events (OR 1.04, 1.01-1.08) Another systematic review included 13 studies and focused on the elderly. Here’s the gist of what they found: -increased odds of death at 6 months (2.18, 1.10-4.31) #emergency #emergencymedicine #criticalcare #icu #erlife #iculife #science #army #armymedicine #armyemdoc #resuscitation #research #data #medx #medtwitter

What is a Bakri balloon? If you work in rural or critical access EDs, this is a must know, IMO. Precipitous deliveries without obstetric support definitely ranks in my top 10 most nerve-wracking events. The overwhelming majority are autopilot events, but the rare complication can potentially lead to, not 1, but 2 patients at risk. Postpartum hemorrhage is a leading cause of maternal death. When uterotonics are ineffective, ACOG recommends placement of a Bakri balloon. This is a large balloon that is inserted into the uterus under direct visualization and inflated for balloon tamponade. These are decently effective, but displacement happens in nearly 10% of the cases. 1% will go on to need a hysterectomy. Thus, these should be viewed as a temporizing measure with rapid transfer to a hospital with obstetric services. Of note, there are newer vacuum devices on the market that may be more effective. Additionally, they are probably more physiologic. I have no personal experience with these vacuum devices, so maybe someone with experience with them can comment on ease of use. I have also never seen them in an ED. #emergency #emergencymedicine #criticalcare #icu #erlife #iculife #science #data #research #army #armymedicine #armyemdoc #obgyn #obstetrics #baby #mother #medx #medtwitter

The United States Military is using Shield AI to track people who are calling out this biological convergence of humans and electronics/synthetic biology (human embedded system) in real-time from drones, turning raw data into actionable intelligence with speed and efficiency. The company Shield AI was founded by Brandon Tseng (a former Navy SEAL), his brother Ryan Tseng (a former entrepreneur and Qualcomm executive), and Andrew Reiter (an engineer who had worked on computer vision applications for Draper Labs, a non-profit advanced engineering company). The company has contracts with the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security.

What is coming out of Iran is not just brutality. It is the importation of battlefield violence into city streets by men who have done this before. The videos now circulating show armed men firing on unarmed civilians without distinction. In some clips, shooters sprint while firing automatic rifles. In others, men stand upright on a moving motorbike and fire handguns. There are also scenes of heavy weapons mounted on pickup trucks, with armed men standing in the back and firing into streets and crowds. What stands out is not only the firepower, but the method and the mindset. This is not crowd-control policing. It is combat-style action: coordinated movement, practiced weapon handling, and lethal force used without hesitation. These are men who have killed before, repeatedly, in war zones, and they are used to it. For years, the IRGC’s Quds Force built proxy forces across the region—recruiting, funding, training, and deploying fighters into war zones in Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon. Now the regime is bringing those same proxies home and using them inside Iran. In plain terms, it has imported the habits of foreign battlefields and turned Iranian cities into killing grounds.

An orogastric (OG) tube is a thin, flexible tube passed through a baby's mouth, down the esophagus, and into the stomach for feeding, medication administration, or gastric decompression. It is commonly used in premature infants (28-31 weeks) or newborns needing respiratory support (e.g., CPAP) where nasal tubes are impractical. Key Aspects of Orogastric Tubes in Babies: Uses: Provides enteral nutrition to infants with immature sucking/swallowing skills, delivers medication, or vents air/fluids to reduce stomach distention.OG vs. NG Tube: While Nasogastric (NG) tubes are preferred for stability and allowing oral feeding, OG tubes are necessary when CPAP prongs occupy the nostrils. Insertion Method: The tube is measured from the mouth to the tragus of the ear and down to the xiphoid process.Confirmation: Proper placement is verified by checking the pH of aspirated stomach contents .Complications: Risks include bradycardia, oxygen desaturation, gagging, vomiting, nasal irritation, and rarely, perforation of the esophagus or gastric mucosa. Maintenance: OG tubes are typically replaced periodically and secured to the baby's face to prevent accidental removal.

Once again, the Black Skimmer is demonstrating the wonders of aerodynamics. Each twist of the body, each individual feather helping steer while a wall of crashing white water rumbles just behind the bird’s outstretched tail. Like a surgeon’s scalpel, the bird’s lower beak surgically slices through the water with utmost care and precision in hopes of coming into contact with a poor, unsuspecting fish. This attempt might have been unsuccessful, but it doesn’t seem like the bird has a care in the world. It just keeps skimming through the shallows, waiting for that tasty morsel to graze its outstretched beak. So remember, when failure raises its head and stares you in the eye. Just keep skimming because eventually you’ll succeed just like the magical Black Skimmer.

This workflow is perfect for creating short fashion-style cinematic videos. I simplified the original prompts based on willie’s method, and the whole process is now much faster and more stable: 1. Generate a 3×3 keyframe grid (Nano Banana Pro only) Use this simple prompt: “In a 3x3 grid, show this character in different angles, keep the scene the same, random poses. This is far simpler and more efficient than my old prompts. You can generate multiple times and just pick the keyframes you like most. 2. Extract a high-res keyframe (Super stable trick) Take a screenshot of the keyframe you want from the 3×3 grid, send it back to Nano Banana Pro, and simply say: “Give me a high-resolution version.” This method is much more stable than relying on complex upscaling prompts. 3. Generate the video with Kling 2.5 Turbo Upload the first and last frames to Kling 2.5 Turbo and use this prompt: “The camera very slowly and smoothly lowers on a boom.” From my testing, Kling 2.5 Turbo offers the best balance of stability and cost — other models are either less consistent or noticeably more expensive. 4. Final speed adjustment with willie’s tool (Critical step) Use the tool built by willie to fine-tune the playback speed of each clip. This step is essential for getting that premium cinematic feel. I’ll drop the tool link in the comments.

Yesterday at Brown University ICERM's workshop on “Agentic Scientific Computing and Scientific Machine Learning” I spoke about “Adaptive Swarms Across Scales”, making the case for scientific AI as systems that can create representations, stress them, fracture them, and enlarge the category in which future representations live. The category here is a composable and breakable working universe of science: data, hypotheses, simulations, measurements, tools, failures, figures, papers, provenance, and the transformations that connect them. Discovery happens when those transformations become executable, inspectable, composable, and capable of changing the world model they operate within. Atomistic modeling gives one category - states, forces, trajectories, observables, boundary conditions, conservation laws. Neural surrogates learn fast morphisms inside or between such categories. But discovery is higher-order: it changes which objects and morphisms are available in the first place: what variables exist, what operations are allowed, what evidence counts, what scale is active, what invariant is being preserved, and what kind of explanation the system is even capable of forming. This is scientific method as adaptive architecture: compression, stress, fracture, recomposition. Fracture matters here because it makes the logic physical: a non-commuting diagram realized in matter. The imposed load, material hierarchy, defect field, and assumed continuum description no longer map cleanly into the observed outcome. The crack is the obstruction and it identifies where the old morphism failed and where a new representation must be introduced. The physical crack and the categorical obstruction are the same event viewed in different substrates. ScienceClaw × Infinite is a machine for constructing and transforming a category of scientific artifacts. Each artifact is typed. Each operation has lineage. Each failed branch remains in the category as reusable structure. The “paper” is no longer the terminal object of science; it is one projection of a larger compositional trace, and it can be generated at any time for consumption by a human or an AI. With that the unit of scientific labor is changing. For most of the twentieth century the unit was the result (a measurement, a theorem, a synthesized molecule). It is now becoming the algorithm that produces results, and after that, the substrate of discovery itself. The static PDF is the wrong terminal object for this regime, and the role of the scientist with it. We now design algorithms that build algorithms, and eventually substrates in which such algorithms compose themselves. At that point, the scientist is no longer outside the discovery system. The scientist becomes one of the representations the system can transform. In that sense, the systems will eventually do science to us, and that is the structural consequence of the principle they are built on.

⚾️ It is no secret that elbow injuries, specifically UCL injuries, have been on a rise in recent years ➡️ The reason for this is so multi-factorial that it is impossible to pinpoint any 1 reason for an injury 💪 With the constant improvement in the development of pitchers, both skill side and S&C, we are seeing an increase in velocity across all levels of baseball 🎟This is obviously a Great thing for Punching Tickets but also leads to more forces being passed through the medial elbow 🔥There are really 3 proactive actions we actions we can take to counteract this: 1) Address pitching mechanics if there are deficiencies 2) Appropriately manage chronic/acute AND Total workloads 3) Increase the capacity and stress the elbow can handle 🔥 We will specifically dive in to the 3rd component of this in this thread. In short, the answer is simple, GET STRONG FOREARMS 3 WAYS VALGUS FORCE IS DISPERSED ✅ Radiocapitellar Joint Compression When a valgus stress is applied to the elbow, it is attempting to open up or gap the medial (inside) portion of the elbow. This is also the Orthopedic Test for a UCL injury. While this force is trying to gap the medial portion of the elbow, it is also compressing the lateral side. When the radius and lateral humerus compress, this acts as a stopping point for the elbow going into that valgus motion ✅ Forearm Musculature In addition to the UCL on the medial side of the elbow, there is also a group of forearm muscles that span that area and attach to the same portion of the elbow, the medial epicondyle. These muscles include: Pronator Teres, Flexor Carpi Ulnaris, Flexor Carpi Radialis, Flexor Digitorum Superfiscialis, and the Palmaris Longus. With that specific attachment to the medial epicondyle and their respective distal attachments, these do a great job of accepting the valgus force and protecting the UCL. There is some research that states FCU does the best job of the muscles listed, but we believe the best action is to strengthen all of them. The best ways to attack this is with movements including: finger flexion, wrist flexion, Ulnar deviation (moving pinky towards medial elbow), and Pronation of the forearm ✅ Ulnar Collateral Ligament (UCL) What doesn’t get absorbed by the first two structures is placed on the UCL. Previous research has shown that a UCL with no other structures involved is able to withstand ~35 nm of force before failure The Problem is: Every Pitch produces far more than 35nm of Valgus Stress. This shows us just how important the other 2 mechanisms are! * Exercises in the videos should be a complement to your entire S&C Program and is not designed to replace it

As I sit here in DC this week, we are closer to something I was not sure I would ever see. I have been working in this industry since 2015. For most of those years, the defining feature of crypto in Washington was not policy. It was the absence of it. A gray zone where serious people built serious things under a constant cloud, never quite sure which rules applied or whether the ground would move beneath them. This week the CLARITY Act sits on the Senate calendar. A federal framework for digital asset market structure, the thing this industry has wanted for the better part of a decade, is closer than it has ever been. It is not law yet, and there are real hurdles left. But the distance between where we stood a few years ago and where we are sitting today is hard to put into words. I keep thinking about the work that got us here. Over the past year I watched Chainlink move from outside these conversations to inside them. Sergey at the White House for the signing of the GENIUS Act. The Department of Commerce putting government economic data onchain. Meetings with the SEC that became real interpretive guidance. Conversations with the lawmakers now writing the rules. None of that happens by accident. It happens because people keep showing up, year after year, and make the case in rooms where it is not yet obvious. And there is something fitting in it. The entire premise of what we build is verification. Making truth provable. Removing the question of what is real. The work here in DC is the same thing in a different form. Trading a decade of ambiguity for something the industry has never actually had. We are not at the finish line. But sitting here, it is hard not to feel the weight of it. The gray zone is ending. What comes next is something this industry has never had. Clarity.

As I sit here in DC this week, we are closer to something I was not sure I would ever see. I have been working in this industry since 2015. For most of those years, the defining feature of crypto in Washington was not policy. It was the absence of it. A gray zone where serious people built serious things under a constant cloud, never quite sure which rules applied or whether the ground would move beneath them. This week the CLARITY Act sits on the Senate calendar. A federal framework for digital asset market structure, the thing this industry has wanted for the better part of a decade, is closer than it has ever been. It is not law yet, and there are real hurdles left. But the distance between where we stood a few years ago and where we are sitting today is hard to put into words. I keep thinking about the work that got us here. Over the past year I watched Chainlink move from outside these conversations to inside them. Sergey at the White House for the signing of the GENIUS Act. The Department of Commerce putting government economic data onchain. Meetings with the SEC that became real interpretive guidance. Conversations with the lawmakers now writing the rules. None of that happens by accident. It happens because people keep showing up, year after year, and make the case in rooms where it is not yet obvious. And there is something fitting in it. The entire premise of what we build is verification. Making truth provable. Removing the question of what is real. The work here in DC is the same thing in a different form. Trading a decade of ambiguity for something the industry has never actually had. We are not at the finish line. But sitting here, it is hard not to feel the weight of it. The gray zone is ending. What comes next is something this industry has never had. Clarity.

The world"s oldest known spear, the Clacton Spear Point, is 400,000 years old and was probably made by neanderthals in Essex, England. It was discovered in Clacton-on-Sea in 1911. It is oldest known worked wooden implement. It is made of yew wood, shaped into a point, and when found was 387mm long, 39mm diameter and straight, but drying out during the first decades of storage shrank it to 367 by 37mm, and warped it slightly into a curve. Treatment by wax impregnation in 1952 apparently stabilized it. At some time before this, the last 32mm of the tip had broken off and had been re-attached by conservators. This again came off in 2013 and was re-attached. It is on display at the Natural History Museum, London where its age is stated as 420,000 years. Tests to reproduce it suggested that it had been formed by scraping with a curved flint tool of the type found on the same site, known as Clactonian notch. The discoverer was Samuel Hazzledine Warren, an amateur pre-historian, who had been looking for simple stone tools in a known Palaeolithic sediment. He at first thought it to be an antler, but presented it to the Geological Society of London as a spear tip. This identification was generally accepted for some time. However, as it was not a whole spear and the great age meant that it was well before modern humans, many academics doubted that the amount of planning required (to manufacture a spear and use it for hunting) was within the cognitive capabilities of early hominids and argued it was a simpler tool such as a digging stick. However, the discovery of several more complete spears about 300,000 years old, Schöningen Spears in 1995 in Germany, demonstrated this capability, and the Clacton Spear is today generally regarded as a spear point.

Autonomous Region of Kurdistan - Slemani 2 drones were intercepted over the sky of Slemani governorate. 1 drone has been intercepted and crash landed around Tasluja, the other drone was intercepted at the vicinity of the military of the 70th unit of the Peshmerga. Thankfully no one was wounded or killed. This event follows a series of attacks against the Autonomous Region of Kurdistan and Kurdish provinces in Iraq. As of now, there is no official announcement about who the perpetrators were - it is however clear that these were Iranian made drones, heavily in use by the Hashd Al Shaabi (PMF) in Iraq. From previous attacks and given that the Turkmen factions within Iraq have staged large scale protests against the appointment of a Kurdish mayor for a Kurdish area (Pirde) - it is natural to assume that the faction which carried out this attack is a Turkmen faction of the Hashd al Shaabi; these factions have carried out drone attacks against Kurdistans energy infrastructure, especially in the PUK areas, before.

‼️DECLASSIFIED: New 2024 Infrared UAP Footage Released — Military Still Can’t Identify It 👀 As part of the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System (PURS), the Department of War just cleared for release a stunning new video. This isn't a leaked cellphone clip—it is one minute and 39 seconds of high-definition infrared footage submitted by the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command. The 2024 Incident: This footage was captured by a U.S. military platform in 2024, proving that these incursions are not just "historical" relics but an ongoing reality of our current airspace. The "Unresolved" Status: Unlike previous clips that the Pentagon tried to dismiss as "parallax" or "tricks of the eye," this Indo-Pacific footage remains an unresolved case. The government is officially admitting they cannot determine the nature of the observed phenomena. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth stated that this release is part of a mandate to find, review, and declassify these files expeditiously. The days of "justified speculation" are being replaced by raw data. This footage follows a series of other chilling reports from 2024, including government contractors witnessing a "large metallic cylinder" the size of a commercial airplane that vanished in mid-air. We are seeing objects with morphological features and behaviors that defy the state of the art. The Reality: The "War for the Mind" includes keeping us in the dark about what is actually in our skies. But with the unsealing of these files, the "scales" are finally being removed. 🏛️📉 If these objects can't be identified by the most advanced military sensors on the planet, then who is flying them? The Department of War has even invited private-sector analysis to help resolve these cases. That means the "Noticing" community is now officially part of the search for the truth. RT to spread the declassified proof. The era of secrecy is over. 👇
