I've been hanging out with ID and microbiology specialists at ESCMID2025- talking about rapid diagnostics, acute respiratory infections, vaccines and spreading the word about bronchiectasis and better antibiotic and non-antibiotic treatments

Just out 🔥🔥 Hydrocortisone in severe community acquired pneumonia - results from REMAP-CAP 7 day fixed dose hydrocortisone - Stopped for futility 15% mortality with HC vs 9.8% with standard care. Unlikely that hydrocortisone substantially reduce mortality in CAP.

Obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) is observed in 1–10% of obese subjects. OSA is an often-associated condition. When untreated, OHS has a substantial impact on morbidity and mortality. Ventilatory management includes CPAP or non-invasive ventilation. bit.ly/43kvTe0

This, which I learned from Lucy, is something all of us in health and #healthprotectipn should know. Just like viral load and antibody graphs by pathogen. #DisasterRecoveryCurve
