January JC and GR with Dr. Bob Hoffman

We are honored to have had Dr. Bob Hoffman, Professor of Emergency Medicine and Medicine, Director, Division of Medical Toxicology, NYU School of Medicine, for Journal Club last night and Grand Rounds today.  Dr. Hoffman spoke on the role and methodology of dialysis in toxin removal, and it was fascinating.  Here are the articles we discussed at last night's JC:

• Acetaminophen Use During Pregnancy, Behavioral Problems, and Hyperkinetic Disorders.  JAMA Pediatrics, 2014.
  
• A Risk Prediction Score for Kidney Failure or Mortality in Rhabdomyolysis.  JAMA Intern Med, 2013.
  
• Intermittent hemodialysis is superior to continuous veno-venous hemodialysis/hemodiafiltration to eliminate methanol and formate during treatment for methanol poisoning.  Kidney Int, 2014.

Dr. Hoffman was also kind enough to allow us to post his slide set from GR below.
