New multicenter analysis: early albumin administration in pediatric sepsis was linked to improved survival in patients with septic shock, with no benefit seen in non-shock cases. Highlights the importance of patient selection.
New findings in glioblastoma treatment: bavituximab combined with chemoradiotherapy demonstrated encouraging survival and reduced tumor immunosuppression, with biomarkers that may help identify responders.
The medicalcoder R package supports running comorbidity algorithms on datasets—even those with ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes.
Today, developer @peteredewitt.bsky.social is presenting medicalcoder at the virtual R/Medicine 2026 conference at 2:06 p.m. ET. Learn more here➡️ https://cudbmi.info/medcoder-1
New study on hydrocortisone use in critically ill children: early treatment was linked to improved vasoactive inotropic scores in the PICU, but not in the CVICU. Important implications for practice and future research.
Retinal imaging may offer more than eye screening. This study shows ROP images, combined with clinical data, can help predict BPD and pulmonary hypertension in preterm infants—supporting earlier, noninvasive detection.
Can AI say "I don't know"? Although Large Language Models (LLMs) have come a long way, they still struggle with declaring uncertainty—a vital task in clinical settings.

New multicenter study uses image-based metrics to quantify retinal vascularization in ROP. Nasal extent was consistently lower than temporal, with high accuracy for zone I diagnosis—supporting more objective classification.
As healthcare systems expand digital tools, research is raising an important question: who gets left behind? Samantha Stonbraker’s work shows that designing for diverse digital and health literacy levels improves usability, engagement, and outcomes.
Researchers @cuanschutz.bsky.social conducted a study in Zimbabwe exploring links between immune function, microbiome, diet and other lifestyle factors for people living with HIV. The team uncovered links that may inform healthcare interventions. Learn more➡️ https://cudbmi.info/zimbabwe-diet-hiv-1
A new EHR-based approach to pediatric sepsis surveillance shows strong validity and reveals a substantial burden: ~18,000 cases and 1,800 deaths annually in the US, with no significant decline over time.
