Hypofx and hydroxychloroquine, approach with caution?
explain how the mechanism of plaquenil will worsen breast erythema with hypofrac? These patients hardly get any.

No idea, the original poster over at ROhub seemed to think it was worse....explain how the mechanism of plaquenil will worsen breast erythema with hypofrac? These patients hardly get any.

Would expect study to be most rigorous possible under the circumstances. This is john ioannidis’ group.
“Ioannidis's 2005 paper "Why Most Published Research Findings Are False"[1] is the most downloaded paper in the Public Library of Science[14][15] and is considered foundational to the field of metascience.[16] In the paper, Ioannidis demonstrates that most...”
Right because the patient had lupus and was Using the medication. Not sure how the hypofrac plays into it.
You sure about that?That one kind of rubs me the wrong way because COVID fractionation schemes aren’t about patient convenience.
Do you all think trump might have just started a rad onc boom by recommending tbi for covid, +/- iv Lysol? Hahn's influence?
“Steve”, as Trump calls him, is not going to come out of this looking very good.
Still got the second half to go. Maybe he’ll start throwing down the field more, run some trick plays. Maybe the game will get cancelled!
The frequentist approach is the most conservative and no assumptions about priors are made. Most clinical trials use this approach and as a result are conservative. Bayesian approaches invoke pre-test probabilities and are more efficient. CTEP tends to be conservative. My point is not to use this paper to bash all of science. A well-designed, randomized controlled trial is the best method to determine the true effect.
could be. Steve, the bret favre of rad onc? “We’ll see what happens”
Lol... Is Trump John Madden? To those that don’t know, John Madden loves him some Brett!
Not to be KHE88... but isn't this what we were waiting/hoping for? The end game? COVID becomes endemic and we get our vaccines and get back to life? If you get it while vaccinated (especially if boosted) it's likely like the regular flu? And those who aren't vaccinated....
Blame my compassion fatigue (not directly for me, but for those dealing with this on front lines and the healthcare strain it exudes on all those who *did* the right thing), I suppose....
A gift shop at the gun range, a mass shooting at the mall.More children have been shot in Chicago in the past year than have died of/with Covid in the past two years in the US
True, however we are not really sure what long term effects of infection may be. Even if only 1 / 10.000 infected kids suffer long-term wise, it can be an issue.More children have been shot in Chicago in the past year than have died of/with Covid in the past two years in the US
I am rather concerned about the other potential scenario:South Africa past peak in cases.
Omicron continues to fade in ground zero South Africa
Data from South Africa shows 15,424 people tested positive in the last 24 hours, down by a third on the nearly 24,000 cases confirmed last Tuesday.www.dailymail.co.uk
Exactly what you would expect as the virus mutates. More transmissible but less lethal.
And run into their mutual friend, influenzaI am rather concerned about the other potential scenario:
Omicron and Delta meet at a bar...
I suspect transmissibility of Omicron so great that we are all going to get it. Seems likely mild clinical course and they should have fatality, ICU admission data out of London soon. Early numbers looked favorable to me.
> 800,000 kids have been shot in Chicago in 2021? Wow, if I had known that I would not have gone to ASTRO this yearMore children have been shot in Chicago in the past year than have died of/with Covid in the past two years in the US
Telesupervision applies to all settings, currently an indefinite waiver from CMS during the pandemicare there any updates on supervision? as I understand it, virtual supervision is ok for hospital but not for freestanding?
what are folks doing when the lone MD tests positive for covid and has to isolate at home? are folks shutting down the center?
thank you! sdn is faster than googling and reading CMS pdfsTelesupervision applies to all settings, currently an indefinite waiver from CMS during the pandemic
