Zedu Weekly Wrap - 28 January 2022

It has been a monumental week…

on a personal front this week. We’ve been catching up with family for the first time in over two years. Once a part of our lives that it’s fair to say was taken for granted, the ability to hug and see people has been a joy. Catching up has been fun, and the opportunity to just chat and chill has revealed that it’s the simple things in life that should be treasured. And where once catching up would have been fit in the schedule somewhere, the schedule was reprioritised as we shut the Zedu HQ down. We hope you don’t mind!

Plenty of ultrasound goodies in this week’s weekly wrap. If eFAST is something on your ‘to review’ or ‘to learn’ list check out the new app from Kirsten Shaw MD (@md_kirsten). And we’d like to plug a survey – we’ve been asked by Dr Farhan Pervaiz & Dr Amy Sarah Ginsburg to highlight that they’re conducting ‘A survey of barriers & facilitators to ultrasound use in low-and middle-income countries’. If you have knowledge of or experience in this area please consider helping them out at https://dfmgp.mcmaster.ca/surveys/?s=TLK7FXXPN3

See you next week.

Mike and Suean

I knew what this should look like but was still taken aback by how pretty this turned out. Such a great way to illustrate backscattering in #ultrasound. pic.twitter.com/mAxQPxTLqD

The interest in Intestinal Ultrasound for point-of-care IBD monitoring in the USA is exciting. Thank you to @propelacure for helping to spread the word on the benefits. If you are curious how we got started @IcahnMountSinai, here is the interview!https://t.co/1tIEro0Jsc

Hi sir, a little podcast for your thoughts?
May I suggest reading these LUS RCTs then heading over to listen to interesting thoughts from an expert POCUS researcher (@WBeaubien)? https://t.co/R3bKXJPSTR https://t.co/VLBwG5UPOd
