This amazing transplant patient seems to have run a-fowl when we said they couldn’t leave the coop… Halloween on the peds BMT service is hard to beat! (Shared with permission) 🐔 🌭 🏴‍☠️ 🎃

The pediatrics residency interview

Great talk Akshay Sharma MD on improving cerebral blood flow in #SickleCell as an important response measure post-HCT #ASH21

“This is the first drug approved to prevent aGVHD.”

I remember reading a predecessor article as a fellow. Fascinating read! @arunmodi81 Stefanie Thomas, MD

Haploidentical transplantation had similar survival compared with fully HLA-matched donor HCT but with reduced GVHD. loom.ly/v3Z7yQY #lymphoidneoplasia #clinicaltrialsandobservations #transplantation

Feedback to health ins co’s: I don’t know what a J code is. I don’t know the CPT code for an infusion. I don’t know the patient’s alpha prefix. But I am happy to talk to a physician *in my specialty* about the necessity of the medications I prescribe.

Congratulations to Yale Pediatrics residents Drs. Hamidi and Forward on 2 great posters at #ASPHO2022 describing our experience with rare hemoglobin variants and #BMT for #sicklecell disease!

Definitely not me up late leveraging time zone differences to get my #ASH22 abstract in 😬 🤷🏻‍♂️

THANK YOU

Congratulations Juan Vasquez, MD and Vidya Puthenpura !! Excited to see where these lead!

Not a bad way to end a clinic day… maybe the best way! 🍕 🍕 🍕

Fascinating talk from James Doroshow National Cancer Institute during #Tandem23 on the need to critically re-examine clinical trial design in the wake of the Pandemic. Trials should be streamlined to reduce burdens to patients and research teams with widespread resource limitations.

Will #Tandem23 finally answer this most important question…

Really proud of our Yale School of Medicine Yale Pediatrics Peds BMT team (Lakshmanan Krishnamurti, Niketa Shah, and stellar resident Rohaum Hamidi) for a whopping *5* posters at #Tandem23 focusing on #bmtsm for #SickleCell!

Are you even a hematologist if you aren’t circulating the arteries of the hospital in a RBC costume? I might have an increased zone of central pallor and poikilocytosis - time to stock up on iron!
