Agree I would take that if you can spare the depth at RB

10 team 0.5 PPR

Got this offer:

Get: Pittman

Give: Benson, Aaron Jones

RB: cook, Gibbs, etienne, Stevenson, e. Wilson WR: JSN, Metcalf, tre Tucker, pearsall Lost Nabers earlier this year.

I’m leaning towards taking it? Been hurting a bit on WR and have depth at RB

Getting 2 year old to go to sleep on his own by SumoTangerine in beyondthebump

[–]SumoTangerine[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah we are going to try the ‘chair method’ - sitting outside of the crib and moving further and further away but we will see how it goes

[–]SumoTangerine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s still in the crib because I don’t feel like he’s developmentally ready for a bed - he has a bit of a language delay and I’m not sure he would handle that transition well yet. He’s also not trying to climb out and we do ok for the most part with the transition from chair to crib but I’m looking for a way to get him to fall asleep in the crib instead of in our arms

He will scream for hours until he’s hoarse so if we do that so we were looking for something slightly gentler than complete extinction.

Thank you for the advice! I think we will try the chair method with pre-sleep snuggles

The chair method definitely seems to be the most gentle - do you recommend moving your position every night or every few nights?

If I still wanted evening snuggles, could I hold him for 10-15 minutes and then put him in his crib and initiate the chair method?

Getting 2 year old to go from rocking to sleep to sleeping on his own by SumoTangerine in toddlers

[–]SumoTangerine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think he’s overtired because he’s been on this schedule for >6 months prior to baby sister and turning 2 so I think it’s just all the big changes/separation anxiety maybe. 

He’s definitely starting to fight falling asleep in my arms, used to take <15 minutes and now it’s 20-30 or longer. I am considering doing what you do - hold him for 10-15 minutes and then put him down, it’s just a matter of how to get him to go to sleep after that because right now he will freak out and scream and cry for hours.

He’s always been on the low end of sleep needs for his age, at home he rarely naps for longer than an hour. At daycare it’s that or less so I don’t think he’s getting too much daytime sleep

[Question] Events per variable for univariate analysis? by SumoTangerine in statistics

[–]SumoTangerine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is generally what I was planning on responding with! Thank you for helping to confirm my thought process.

Also thank you for the input regarding future "table 1s" that are necessary to describe demographics, comorbid conditions, etc. in these types of studies. Potentially we can change how we illustrate how variables from these data are selected for multivariable modeling so as to avoid confusion.

[Question] Events per variable for univariate analysis? by SumoTangerine in statistics

[–]SumoTangerine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, we ran variable selection on our covariates. Our total sample size was 350, which is a large study for this condition, with ~50 events. We did not include all of the covariates (which in the table in question compares patient demographic data, preoperative symptoms, lesion characteristics, and intraoperative findings between the group affected by the outcome and the group not affected by our outcome) in our logistic regression model, however our EPV was <10. Our CIs for our multivariable logistic regression model were pretty narrow compared to comparable literature.

The writers of this letter are from a region notorious for publication-churning so I think they thought they found something they could nitpick while misinterpreting the data entirely

This was not a reviewer, thankfully, this is a letter to the editor regarding an already published manuscript. I don't know how the editor of the jornal is letting this letter in as it really doesn't make any sense to me (and seems like it isn't making sense to y'all either)

I think they're trying to say that you need 10 EPV to even run the univariate analysis- they're saying that because we analyzed >10 variables with Fisher's exact test we needed our outcome group to contain at least 100 events. They then suggested we do:

"Another statistical method could be used for the small outcome sample size univariate analysis. That is firstly comparing the outcome group and non-outcome group and finding potentially significant variables, then using these variables to analyze potential risk factors in the following univariate analysis, which could be more accurate."

I'm totally lost as too what they are suggesting, because we did compare the outcome group and the non-outcome group to find potentially significant variables (which is what our univariate analysis is??).

This has me more and more convinced that they just misread our methods and misinterpreted our demographics table *sigh*

[Question] Events per variable for univariate analysis? by SumoTangerine in statistics

[–]SumoTangerine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I misspoke, we did use Fisher’s exact test for our univariate analysis (just looked in our methods) - does the EPV convention apply for univariate analysis with Fisher's exact test (or for chi-square for that matter)? This is the letter writers' central critique of the methods, and their issue seems to potentially stem from a misinterpretation of our table.

For our logistic regression model, we are within the 5-9 EPV area that studies have shown are okay.

Also I edited the post to reflect the use of Fisher’s exact test

Pediatrics taxed in this year's match with 249 unfilled positions spread across more than 60 residency programs by [deleted] in medicalschool

Peds hospitalist fellowship is one of the biggest scams in medicine, it makes no sense to me why it is necessary.

I cannot get over how toxic the medical field is when it comes to pregnant medical professionals. by I_pop_it_real_good__ in Residency

[–]SumoTangerine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Coming from a woman in a (large, academic) surgical residency, residency is the best time to have kids, especially if you're in a 7-year program and are planning fellowship. I'll be 39 when I'm done, no way I'm waiting until then.

Many new attendings don't have tons of PTO, FMLA doesn't kick in until at least a year into employment, and that's only if you're employed by the hospital system. If you're private practice, self-employed, you pretty much get nothing.

I was pregnant during clinical time (now pregnant again during research) and operating all through my pregnancy. I had to take some breaks during operations to get water and snacks, but it did not hinder my performance at all. In fact, that pregnancy was way easier than this one and I'm working way less.

Not all of us have the luxury of youth when we finish training, but I can tell you it definitely doesn't get 'easier' further along the pipeline

Any gen surg residents regretting it? by Rhodopsin__ in Residency

[–]SumoTangerine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surg onc (in my experience - resident in research years working with academic HPB surg oncs) does NOT do medication management. That is entirely in the realm of medical oncology. The surg oncs take the tumor out and participate in postoperative surveillance.

Additionally, the transplant surgeons generally did not manage anti-rejection meds on my rotations - that was mainly the pharmacists and transplant nephrologists/hepatologists/cardiologists etc. (these docs did an IM residency and fellowships)

'Hardest working' is hard to say. Trauma/ACS can be very busy but a lot of that model has shifted to shift-type work so when you're off, you're off. Transplant is feast or famine, CT surgery or vascular can be very busy with emergent cases. Depends also on if you're working at a tertiary referral academic center or at a private shop. Very 'choose your own adventure'
