    I would love to do the asparagus study!

    If you have a link to any of these discussions it would be great if you could share. They talk about canned asparagus as far as I can remember?! Not something I have ever tried.

    Here is the full radiography report:

    Skeleton:
    There are no skeletal abnormalities

    Thorax:
    There is a an alveolar pattern with air bronchograms affecting predominently the right middle lung lobe. The other lung lobes are unremarkable.
    The cardiac silhouette is within normal limits. There are no abnormalities in the cranial mediastinum, the oesophagus is mildly dilated with air on the left lateral view. The diaphragmatic line is clear on the right lateral view but obscured on the left lateral view.

    Abdomen:
    There is moderate ingesta and a small structure of bone opacity in the stomach. There is mild gas in the colon as expected. The remaining abdominal organs are unremarkable

    DDx aspiration pneumonia, bronchopneumonia, haemorrhage, less likely oedema, torsion or neoplastic infiltrate

    The other thing would be the significant cost involved in monitoring with all of this!

    Hey pal.

    I am doing neither at the minute! The biggest issue with the actual anti-Xa monitoring is availability, as far as I am aware. There are some studies in dogs, but I am not aware of it being widely commercially available:

    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25154357/

    It seems to be offered commercially at Cornell?

    https://www.vet.cornell.edu/animal-health-diagnostic-center/testing/protocols-and-interpretations/apixaban-anticoagulant#:~:text=The%20apixaban%20assay%20measures%20drug%20levels%20based%20on,bleeding%2C%20or%20no%20anticoagulant%20action%20and%20inadequate%20therapy.

    There was a study looking at using PT as a surrogate marker for anti-Xa monitoring:

    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30859645/

    But there was another study suggesting it was not well correlated with dosage:

    https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/vec.13199

    So, in short… a mixed bag as far as the evidence and added expense that I am not sure we can justify!?

    Would love to hear other thoughts.

    Hey Becky!

    If you love all things medicine, you are in the right place!

    Hello Katie!

    Thank you so much for joining us! How interesting that you have worked in Malaysia. I am already wracking my brain about the infectious disease that you might see there! I would be interested to hear!

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    Scott 🙂
