The First10EM Research Roundup for September 2025 - First10EM
It has been a while since I have critically appraised. Life without medical journals is sort of nice, but I guess it just isn’t me, so I am back and nerdier than ever. That means there are some strange selections this time around, but there are bound to be at least a few people out […]
The First10EM wrap-up for Spring 2025 - First10EM
The First10EM monthly wrap up is a place for me to share updates about the website, about my academic life, and also interesting content, such as books, podcasts, and other FOAMed, that I have encountered in the prior month. First, I have obviously been on a bit of a hiatus. I haven’t published anything since […]
The First10EM monthly wrap-up for Winter 2025 - First10EM
The First10EM monthly wrap up is a place for me to share updates about the website, about my academic life, and also interesting content, such as books, podcasts, and other FOAMed, that I have encountered in the prior month. Obviously the format means the focus is mostly on content I have found, but I hope […]
I have been doing this for 10 years - First10EM
I have been doing this for 10 years now. I am not sure what the future holds. I am not sure what First10EM will look like in another 10 years. I am not sure these words will be published (although if you are reading it, I guess we have our answer). This is an exercise […]
Killer antibiotic stewardship strategy? (The ADAPT-Sepsis trial) - First10EM
Antibiotic resistance is an existential problem. Optimizing sepsis care, including the appropriate length of antibiotic therapy, is an important goal. So should we be willing to allow an increase in mortality to reduce total antibiotic use, as the ADAPT-Sepsis non-inferiority design seems to imply? The paper Dark P, Hossain A, McAuley DF, Brealey D, Carlson […]
The First10EM monthly wrap-up for autumn 2024 - First10EM
The First10EM monthly wrap up is a place for me to share updates about the website, about my academic life, and also interesting content, such as books, podcasts, and other FOAMed, that I have encountered in the prior month (or now quarter). Obviously the format means the focus is mostly on content I have found, […]
The November 2024 Research Roundup - First10EM
Back for another month of interesting, arcane, important, or baffling articles. As we enter the winter in the Northern hemisphere, and I have little interest in heading outside, I will probably spend more time reading, so these write ups might get longer for the next few months. For now, the weather remains fine, golf season […]
Toxicology: the excuses must stop - First10EM
I love toxicologists, but it’s time for someone to call them out. (I also love ranting. Let’s see if I can get myself cancelled by a group of physicians that are definitely smarter than me.) I am sick of the anti-science rhetoric. Every time a toxicologist takes the stage at a conference, or grabs the […]
The First10EM monthly wrap-up for summer 2024 - First10EM
The First10EM monthly (or I guess seasonal this time) wrap up is a place for me to share updates about the website, about my academic life, and also interesting content, such as books, podcasts, and other FOAMed, that I have encountered in the prior month. Obviously the format means the focus is mostly on content […]
