1/ Years ago, it was baffling to me. Sometimes I'd write a #tweetorial that I *loved*, and it would get just "meh" engagement. Others, I'd be like, "well this is ok," and it would be super-shared. WHY?? A #tweetorial about making a great #tweetorial neurology.org/doi/pdf/10.121…

Here is a pearl tutorial on CAA from the master himself. Plenty of CME credits here. Go challenge yourself. See if you have understood the Boston criteria adequately. x.com/a_charidimou/s…

⭕️🧠 CAA progression & neuropath staging (CAA=Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy) Here is my take👇 which will try to unpack 🧵 in the coming days. ⛱️ CAA is not a single disease and is not uniform 🌂CAA does NOT invariably progress to bleeding as part of it's natural history, but

Here's a review on some of the inherited thrombophilias that are frequently ordered as part of the hypercoagulability workup in arterial ischemic stroke. Read on to see which are recommended to be sent in the acute stroke workup, and which should not be ordered. #stroke #MedEd
