Coverage by @jwgale of our important new @AnnalsofIM paper on LC recovery trajectories. Keeping this evidence of lack of recovery in so many front/center as I head to RECOVER-TLC/related meetings (fresh out of the hospital myself).
People with long Covid affecting multiple body systems are far less likely to recover, with fewer than 1 in 5 showing sustained improvement within three years, a US study found bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
I.M. Matters News recently spoke with S. Ryan Greysen, MD, MHS, about how hospital medicine has evolved in the past 30 years and where it's headed next. Read here: bit.ly/48AG935
Hospital medicine emerged 30 years ago in response to changing hospitals and increasing patient complexity. In a new commentary, S. Ryan Greysen, MD, MHS, and Robert M. Wachter, MD, MHM, discuss the evolution of the field of #HospitalMedicine from early success to new challenges. bit.ly/48Geca1
A new @AnnalsofIMCC case report highlights the importance of early diagnosis, isolation, and public health notification as measles reemerges in the United States. Clinicians can use this new Annals #InTheClinic feature to stay abreast of the latest evidence on prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of measles. Read here: bit.ly/4BRtnLg
A 70-year-old woman developed #measles after international travel despite presumed immunity based on age and a reported history of childhood infection. Measles is often considered a childhood disease, but clinicians should remain vigilant in adults presenting with fever, rash, and recent travel history, especially as the disease reemerges in the U.S. Read the full text for free: bit.ly/4iWlrR8 @AgostinaVelo @AHAScience #AHAJournals
Proposed federal grant rule changes from the Office of Management and Budget could significantly reshape how federal research grants are awarded. The revisions would allow political appointees to approve grants based on their alignment with the administration’s priorities rather than on scientific merit. An analysis published in Annals of Internal Medicine of 3,653 public organizational comments on this proposed rule change found that nearly 88% of organizations opposed the revisions. @ACPIMPhysicians was among the organizations expressing concern, stating that the proposed revision opens the door to politicizing public health and scientific decision making.

A new ACP Journal Club is online now. Read summaries of new evidence on #GLP1 use during pregnancy, the efficacy and safety of oral anticoagulants after successful cardiac ablation in adults with atrial fibrillation, and much more. bit.ly/48y0hmt
Measles is reemerging, yet many U.S. physicians have never encountered a case in clinical practice. A new Annals #InTheClinic reviews the latest evidence on #measles prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and practice improvement for internal medicine physicians and hospitalists caring for adults in settings with measles reemergence. bit.ly/4yWi95r
A target trial emulation of 2,252 adults with degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis found no meaningful improvement in pain, function, or repeat surgery rates when #SpinalFusion was added to decompression surgery. The study also found that adding fusion increased surgery duration, length of hospital stay, and perioperative complications. These findings add to growing evidence that decompression alone may be sufficient for many patients with degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis. bit.ly/4A2TcG8
In the latest episode of Annals on Call, Dr. Centor @medrants discusses #ArtificialIntelligence and the physician's role in clinical AI with Dr. Andrew Parsons. bit.ly/3Uqzwgt
About half of adults living with #LongCOVID one year after infection experienced meaningful symptom improvement within 3 years, and nearly 27% achieved complete remission. New research highlights both the possibility of natural recovery and the need further research on effective treatments given the large number of adults living with long COVID.

Watch this free video summary to understand the findings of an individual participant data meta-analysis comparing postoperative and long-term oncologic outcomes after laparoscopic liver resection or open liver resection for colorectal liver metastases. bit.ly/4sCeqIK
A new individual participant data meta-analysis suggests that minimally invasive liver surgery may improve recovery for patients with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. Researchers found patients undergoing laparoscopic liver resection experienced fewer complications and shorter hospital stays than those receiving open surgery, with similar survival and cancer recurrence outcomes.

More and more cardiovascular diagnoses in Medicare Advantage are made during insurer in-home visits. Patients diagnosed there are less likely to be treated.
Medicare pays more for many of these diagnoses. Whether patients benefit is less clear.
