In a meta-analysis of 17,801 patients with myocardial infarction and preserved LVEF (≥50%), beta-blockers did not reduce death, MI, or heart failure over a median 3.6 years of follow-up. Full results: nej.md/43U5Ppo #AHA25

Among patients with atherosclerosis or diabetes but no previous myocardial infarction or stroke, evolocumab led to a lower risk of major adverse cardiovascular events than placebo. Full VESALIUS-CV trial results: nej.md/4oWrIN6 #AHA25

A small primer on the #NobelPrize awarded to Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Shimon Sakaguchi today. This prize was for combining two separate fields of immunology research - genetic research on IPEX and immunology research of regulatory T cells (#Tregs), with enormous impact on biology/medicine

I know the news is tough right now. So take a moment and soak in the gorgeousness & promise of the science that led to this year’s Nobel Prize in Medicine & Physiology. WOW. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/h...

I remember when the press was on a weeks-long feeding frenzy because of concerns over the (former) president’s mental state. That concern seems gone 🙄🙄🙄

To be clear, there are no data that provide a link between short-term use of Tylenol during pregnancy and autism. In fact, one of the best prospective studies w/ sibling controls, if anything, pointed to a protective effect for use less than 7 days acamh.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Monarez told senators she was fired for “holding the line on scientific integrity” and pushing back on demands from Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to preapprove vaccine recommendations from his advisers who have criticized vaccines. @washingtonpost.com wapo.st/48hzE6o

Senate hearing today, Dr. Monarez testified: Kennedy directed her to commit to approving every recommendation "regardless of the scientific evidence" and also directed her to "dismiss career officials responsible for vaccine policy, w/o cause" "He said if I was unwilling to do both, I should resign"
