Interesting! 🚬 cigarettes for asthma 🫁 Just on the shelves 70 years ago (though started centuries prior) They contained atropine & were finally phased out in 1950s when inhalers were created. Thank goodness 🤭 #medtwitter #ACAAI22

Did you know that IVIG can be used BOTH for under active AND overactive immune systems? Somewhat ironically higher dosing is needed for treating autoimmune conditions.

Race-based FEV1 can → underdiagnosis Predicted normal spirometry values artificially ↑ for black patients without scientific basis🤔? Time to remove race-adjustment for PFTs? PFTs based on race based corrections but race=social construct 1/ #AAAAI22 @TCHFoodMD #healthequity

6/ Finally, does a penicillin allergy mean you can’t give ceftriaxone or meropenem? No! There’s some cross reactivity, but it is rare; the graphic below arms you with the data of just how common the allergic cross reactivity is.
