I took a few months off. (Well, not so much off, but as stuck in other EBM rabbit holes.) I am sure some were happy for the empty inbox, but if you enjoy nerdy conversation about subpar medical research, this is your luck day.

Another month, another set of articles. Perhaps some are useful. Perhaps some will guide your practice. At least one should completely blow your mind.
Welcome back to another edition of the research roundup, where we discuss an eclectic collection of articles selected through the rigorous process of whatever I happened to find most interesting in my recent reading (with a couple suggestions from Dr. Casey Parker). The BroomeDocs podcast version can be found here: […]
The pace of these literature summaries has decreased over the years, but perhaps that means that quality has increased? I think there is an interesting variety of papers this time around, from sepsis, to bullshit, to patient access to their own results online. A few huge papers dropped in the […]
I think the conclusions of the paper are incredibly obvious, and therefore not practice changing, but I worry that a superficial read might lead to misinterpretation, and therefore the paper is probably worth covering. (This is the same research group that published the infamous PESIT study, and all the subsequent […]
Overdiagnosis is a huge problem in emergency medicine. We know that we are over-diagnosing pulmonary embolism (PE), as the rate of diagnosis has dramatically increased over the decades, but the morbidity and mortality from the disease has remained unchanged. (In other words, although these patients might have a pulmonary embolism, […]
Another month, another collection of (hopefully) interesting medical publications. When trial results are too good to be true, think fraud? Sheldrick, K. Evidence of Fabricated Data in a Vitamin C trial by Paul E Marik et al in CHEST. Available at: https://kylesheldrick.blogspot.com/2022/03/evidence-of-fabricated-data-in-vitamin.html This is the first time I have ever […]
In this month’s edition of the research round-up, we have everything from Bayesian analysis to CPR in outer space. With that kind of range, hopefully I have found something interesting for every reader.
