  1. The next journal club will be on the 27th May and the paper will be announced beforehand as usual on twitter. Thank you all again #twitjc
  2. Thankyou all for joining in the discussion of this fascinating paper, can't believe this is the 20th time the journal club has "met" #twitjc
  3. @JDMoffatt but what about studies in stable patients with other disease, e.g COPD? Could these be ethical like this study was? #twitjc
  4. @JDMoffatt of course you couldn't carry it out in those situations!! #twitjc
  5. Should more studies look at subjective as well as objective evidence when evaluating the effectiveness of a treatment? #twitjc
  6. And the final discussion point.... #twitjc
  7. Is this an appropriate conclusion from this study? #twitjc
  8. Author’s concluded “objective outcomes should be more heavily relied on for optimal asthma care” 1/2 #twitjc
  9. Onto the 3rd discussion point.... #twitjc
  10. @RikThomas @taggiemonster - the sham was that the needle telescoped into the shaft of the needle handle #twitjc
  11. Subjects were only examined under resting conditions, is there a role in conducting such a study under more real life conditions? #twitjc
  12. The 2nd discussion point... #twitjc
  13. Right, going to kick things off with discussion point one. Was the design of this study appropriate? #twitjc
  14. Anyone else out there or is everyone busy enjoying the sun? This paper is one that is well worth discussing... #twitjc
  15. As always we start with introductions. I am @silv24, currently an F2 and soon to be an ACCS anaesthetics trainee #twitjc
