This week's theme for the two minute talks was ACIS. This stimulated enough discussion to shunt the discussion paper to next week. Troponin levels in patients on dialysis programs were raised and it has been suggested that their levels may be elevated..Have a look at this article. Hopefully we will be told the average troponins in these patients next week (or post it in the comments). You can also look at this article about changing rates of myocardial infarction. Could I ask you to post the NNts for treatment in the comments section.
The read and think for 3xi6 will be Dr Bruno Sachs addresses an audience of first year medical students: an extract from the writing of Martin Winckler, French doctor and writer
Med. Humanities 2006; 32: 1-3.
