Dr. #CharlesDotter made some great educational movies in the 60s that he would show at scientific meetings. In this opening segment, I noticed him fade the footage of Multnomah Falls (just west of Portland) into the gastroduodenal artery. Masterful #cinema! #iRad #History – at Denver, CO

Anemia of inflammation is a common normocytic, normochromic anemia associated with systemic inflammation that increases the level of hepcidin and results in defective iron reuse from body stores. Reducing inflammation can help correct the defect. nej.md/2lTTobh

Provocative keynote @GEST from Dr. Riad Salem @NorthwesternIR but resonating with many physicians. "So-called evidence-based medicine is really not [that] 90% of the time" @IN_publishing @SIRspecialists interventionalnews.com/tyran…

A call to arms against “the tyranny of the randomised controlled trial”

“Do not let yourself be bullied by the tyranny of the randomised controlled trial," Riad Salem warns the audience at GEST 2019 in his Honourary Lecture.
