@redcell_doc talking about #SCT and #VTE in a #23andme cohort! Check it out here. #ASH22 1/n
@redcell_doc Sickle cell DISEASE has a unique reason for thromboembolism -- PE predominance - in situ or embolism from legs? Unclear still. But we know #SCT patients have higher D-dimer levels so maybe there's a hint for more in trait patients. #ASH22 2/n
@redcell_doc so, why not look into this diverse and high powered cohort? Did you know 80% of 23andme people consent to research cohort (caveat 90% of this cohort is from the United States)! #ASH22 3/n

Now back to learn about sickle cell trait #SCT from Faeben Wossenseged, BS. Their participants were mostly female. Retinopathy and hematuria seen in their results! 1/n
Amazing database available and they found 2.45% sickle cell trait carriers - reminds them we need to figure out how to do better #SCT carrier screening and know better how to counsel about this entity. #ASH22 2/2
Q: What about confounders for the SCT data (like for the retinopathy? A: something they are definitely looking to do in the future! (psst, we definitely want to know!) #ASH22

#SCt There is very little actual law that applies. Basically that the POTUS has the authority to make the nomination & the Senate has the authority to advise & consent on the nomination. That’s it. See @AndrewCMcCarthy’s good article about this. /1
Beyond that, the process is entirely political. This is contemplated by the Constitution itself. The branches are supposed to work out power struggles between themselves. There is nothing wrong with that. Each branch has moves it can make. Making those moves is constitutional. /2
Elected officials serve during the entirety of their term. Suggesting they should voluntarily not exercise their power at some point during their term is just that - a suggestion. Suggestions can be rejected or ignored. And there’s nothing wrong with doing exactly that. /3

Un rĂ©cent cas d’un syndrome rare mais hĂ©las grave de syndrome de choc toxique staphylococcique menstruel

#SCT THREAD et précisions
Cest quoi un #SCT ?

C’est tout d’abord un Ă©tat de CHOC, ie. une dĂ©faillance circulatoire conduisant Ă  un apport insuffisant de sang riche en oxygĂšne (=hypoxie) liĂ© Ă  une toxine qui entraĂźne des lĂ©sions des tissus et des organes, jusqu’à l’effondrement de la pression sanguine.
Le corps préserve alors ses fonctions vitales, en concentrant
le sang « au centre », afin de privilĂ©gier les organes importants (cƓur, reins, poumons, cerveau) et limiter les pertes de chaleur, en constrictant les vaisseaux sanguins de la peau (d’oĂč pĂąleur & marbrures) #SCT
