Remember the power of an Omental Flap for lnfected Aortas! Infected Aortic grafts are an unfortunate complication in our business. Complete resection usually the only cure. Here is redo zone 2 total arch. Rifampin soaked graft and omental flap. #AortaED @UABSurgery

The 2026 ACC/AHA/Multisociety Guideline on the Management of Dyslipidemia names South Asian ancestry and elevated Lp(a) levels as risk-enhancing considerations that should prompt closer scrutiny rather than reflexive statin initiation. Read more: bit.ly/4dWzaEU #ACCPrev

POET II: For patients with infective endocarditis on the left side of the heart, the recommendation of up to 6 weeks of antibiotics is largely based on expert consensus opinion. Research findings on a response-tailored antibiotic strategy are summarized in a new Quick Take video. nej.md/4gxdLCy #ESCCongress

Just published @ScienceMagazine Higher medical accuracy at lower cost A 3-agent AI for sequential diagnosis nearly doubled accuracy compared with physicians for >300 @NEJM CPC cases and >300 ER cases AND substantially lowered cost, also exceeded performance of many AI models, physicians plus AI @HarshaNori @erichorvitz @Dominic1King @mustafasuleyman

We're excited to share results from our latest wet lab campaign with @AnthropicAI and @citrini. Claude designed novel proteins to neutralize scorpion toxins and we tested 211 of these protein designs in our automated wet lab. 17 of them showed binding to the toxins in our experiments, with all data now available on @proteinbase. This is a great example of what we're building towards: A world where anyone can run drug discovery campaigns on our automated wet lab.

Apple is taking its sweet time reviewing EchoSuite, so rather than keep waiting, I’ve decided to launch it on the web! The upside is that It is available to everyone. 🌐 echosuite.app EchoSuite brings together a real-time, anatomically labeled TTE simulator with interactive coaching and a fully adjustable 3D scene to make things more intuitive. It also includes echo calculators, and illustrations to guide you through image acquisition and measurements.

New on our Science Blog: designing protein binders against scorpion neurotoxins. Scorpions sting about 1.2m people every year, and antivenoms are often costly or in short supply. Claude has made an early step toward finding new treatments. anthropic.com/research/claud…

Aortic stenosis: don’t grade severity from AVA alone. Echo assessment of AS should be integrative. For severe AS, the classic concordant parameters are: 🔵 Vmax ≥4.0 m/s ⚪ Mean gradient ≥40 mmHg 🔴 AVA ≤1.0 cm² ⚫ Indexed AVA ≤0.6 cm²/m² can support severe AS, particularly in patients with small body size. ( But what if the numbers disagree) That is where the real echocardiographic reasoning begins. 1️⃣ First, check for measurement error, especially LVOT diameter, LVOT VTI and Doppler alignment. 2️⃣ Then assess flow status: Low flow: SVi ≤35 mL/m² A patient with AVA ≤1.0 cm² and mean gradient <40 mmHg may have low-flow, low-gradient AS, with interpretation depending on LVEF and the clinical context. In selected discordant cases, CT assessment of aortic valve calcification can provide important additional evidence of stenosis severity. The 2025 ESC/EACTS guidelines emphasize multimodality assessment when severity remains uncertain. #Echocardiography #Cardiology #AorticStenosis #ASE
