Our paper on how you can quantify hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction, the major active mechanism of ensuring efficient gas exchange is out. You can do this approach with multiple imaging techniques and in many patient populations @ruicarsa @Drvinnyted @Akizhak

I have mask induced exhaustion syndrome, from stomping out nonsense about masks. @KateYandell and @factcheckdotorg get it right: masks make your face hot and increase awareness of breathing. That’s it. @mkstickland @AnnalsATS #FactCheck #FaceMasks factcheck.org/2023/04/sciche…
Good to have this out.

“Those who don’t study history are doomed to repeat it. Those who do study history are doomed to stand by helplessly while everyone else repeats it”. ^How I feel about this fall/winter #COVID surge. HT to whoever is the artist.
Long implicated in the pathology of ageing, cancer and many other systemic diseases, cellular senescence is now emerging as a key factor in the pathogenesis of severe COVID-19, with implications for other viral illnesses. bit.ly/3bbmOuT

Looks like a great study evaluating multiple layers of protection.

I somehow missed this @japplphysiol tweet on our recent work. From Eric Geier's "trilogy in 5+ parts", our latest on Specific Ventilation Imaging: faster imaging, if you can trade-off some spatial resolution. @Lung_UCSD @ucsdpccm #LungImaging

COVID rates are increasing in San Diego, and I suspect this is the beginning of a summer surge. Almost certain to be smaller than the winter surge, and unlikely to threaten hospital resources, but you still don't want to get COVID! 👉calcat.covid19.ca.gov/cacovidmodels/
COVID Update: I’ve talked to 4 experts this weekend about what a BA.2 wave of Omicron in the US might look like. BA2, a more transmissible virus, is sweeping Europe & Asia but the impact here could be strikingly different. 1/
Tell your residents how much you appreciate them
New @CDCMMWR report for Omicron wave Vaccination + booster: 96% reduced hospitalization Vaccination, w/o booster: 81% reduced hospitalization Compared with unvaccinated, 8 January 2022, @CountyofLA (largest US county) @lapublichealth cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/7…
COVID (San Diego) Chronicles - Jan 23, 2022 There is no doubt we have turned the omicron corner @UCSDHealth. Of course, with a ~10% positive rate yesterday, it is still far higher than any previous surge. Join me for some data, insights, and personal opinions (1/11) 🧵
1/ COVID (San Diego) Chronicles - Jan 17, 2022 7 day average cases and rate ↓ to 554/day and 10.3% from 938 and 13.7% a week ago @UCSDHealth We may be over the hump, but remember that while rates are ↘️, risk is still 🆙 and thousands will be infected on the downhill slope

So, who is eligible for #COVID19 vaccine boosters and when? Well, we made a chart! bit.ly/3HxB8J0
