Valid informed consent requires provision of accurate and balanced information, and that agreement is given freely by someone who knows they have a choice. This is true for use of modified texture diets (MTDs) in dysphagia as for other healthcare interventions

Wonderful article, and sad also in how long effective dx and Tx were delayed. Iron not a panacea - but remember when considering it's not serum iron that counts but the stores - check ferritin/ trans sats

Reviewing this. I couldnât put it down. Piller has done a fantastic and diligent job detailing individual instances of fraudulent Alzheimer research, the resulting contamination of our field and the troubling complacency of research leaders about the problem. Landmark book that will make you angry.

Excellent thing Klaxon! Have only just found out that all 4 series of wonderful parody series âDocumentary Nowâ with Bill Hader and Fred Armisen among others, is on ITVx, of all places. They are very brilliant, note perfect spoofs of legendary documentaries. Highly recommended.

Imminently out of date 'Ketchup Cheetos' are on special offer at my local Costcutter. You have to wonder how special the offer is. But not enough to ask. (Also, because I think it's worth noting, this is the the kind of whimsy I stopped posting on Twitter because even this nonsense got mullered.)
