Primary UIP implies IPF, while secondary UIP implies other etiologies The video describes the UIP pattern, the various signs and their differentials, based on the new guidelines published in Aug 2025. ctchestreview.com/ild01

Managing the Problem of Cognitive Overload As we grow older, managing cognitive overload is a major issue. On the one hand, we are bombarded by messages, calls, requests, which our minds can handle only so many of before they go on the fritz. There are some things we can do to manage all these sensory inputs. On the other hand, is the issue of how to reduce the impact of this cognitive overload, when it does occur despite all our best efforts to reduce all the inputs that can overload our brains. I have some coping mechanisms, but I don't think they are adequate and I wonder if others have better ones. Full piece (text, audio, video): atmasvasth.com/cognition10/

Lecture - Imaging the Genetic Blueprint - CMR Phenotypes of Inherited Heart Disease This was my talk at IACI last Saturday. I covered 3 buckets. 1. Known genetic conditions that affect the heart - imaging the heart to quantify and type the abnormality 2. Known genetic risk with equivocal or normal echo - to see whether the heart is normal or not on CMR 3. Signs that point towards a genetic cardiomyopathy in a patient with dilated cardiomyopathy that would initiate genetic testing a. Hypertrabeculation b. Ring-like enhancement c. Biventricular involvement d. Inferolateral scar and the concept of a shrinking "idiopathic" cause of dilated cardiomyopathies.. Case, Video mricardiac.com/case266/

Case of the Day - 234 - Reversible Periosteophyte Friction Fibrosis 64-year-old man with 3-level periosteophyte friction fibrosis on a recent scan, which had regressed compared to 2024, which in turn was new compared to 2019. The video goes through the case and then the existing, extremely sparse literature on this subject and tries to answer these questions 1. Why does periosteophyte friction fibrosis occur? 2. Can it reverse? youtu.be/i1PdlIrsEhE

An LLM & a radiologist go to a bar. The radiologist orders an Old Fashioned. The LLM snatches the drink & gulps it. Why did you take me drink, asks the radiologist. The LLM replies “you’re just hallucinating”

Sion Bridge is a small but critical railway bridge in Mumbai It was 112 years old. The govt realized after 112 years old that it is 112 years old and needs to be replaced. They said it would take 2 years to replace a 60 mtr bridge. When the Bridge was there it took me 45 mins to get to office and 1 hour to get back. Since the bridge is demolished, I spend one and a half hours to reach office and an hour and 45 minutes to get back. That is one and half additional hours in commute, every day, for the last two years Which makes it 7.5 hours a week Or 390 extra hours a year. Which becomes 780 extra hours over the last two years That's a 32 extra days spent on commute over the last two years. Or one whole month. Just on commute This is extra or over and above the 32 days I anyway used to spend on commute in two years. And this is just me. And there are thousands like me One small bridge. One massive impact. Hope the govt completes it soon. That's all we ask
