The real consequences of mass GLP1 agonist prescribing go for weight loss are not known, but this misuse is troubling. #ultraprocessedweightloss open.substack.com/pub/drjamesk... #weightliss #obesity #GLP1 #wegovy #semaglutide #weightlossjourney

The data on #protein supplements and health outcomes has some big holes. So my son isn’t allowed Creatine powder and he is furious about it. Here’s why. #forthegains open.substack.com/pub/drjamesk...

🅲🅾🅾🅻 🆃🅴🅲🅷🅽🅾🅻🅾🅶🆈 “Bacterial-MERFISH” provides ~1000-fold volumetric expansion of individual cells, charts gene expression in hundreds of thousands of cells, deciphering bacterial single-cell heterogeneity, intracellular transcriptome organization, and bacterial adaptation to µm-scale niches in vivo

Why is #bowelcancer in the rise in the under 50s? Well…. It’s not forever chemicals. It’s not red meat. It’s not even UPFs. It’s the generational destruction of the microbiome caused by all of these things. It’s the #internalclimatecrisis obviously. www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

This week our #XR #AI start up was featured in #NVIDIA CEO'Jensen Huang's #CES2025 key note. Huge congratulations to Philip Pratt and Kyriakos Lobotesis and whole Medical iSight team, and I can't wait to see this technology in clinical practice very soon. #healthcare #artificialintelligence

Dr Hussam Abu Safyia, I bear witness to your detention as if you were a Ukrainian doctor detained in Russian-occupied territory in violation of customary IHL. I wish my U.K. and German colleagues did likewise for there is no difference. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/02/o...

Rifaximin is handed out like smarties for a range of GI conditions like ‘SIBO’, because it acts locally in the gut and because it’s thought to not influence antibiotic resistance. Turns out… not so much: #AMR #microbiome #GI #guthealth www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Diary of a serial evidenceless offender. Apparently it’s hard to find balance when discussing basic science (new), translational science (we should try this in patients) and evidence based medicine (it works / doesn’t work) and selling stuff. https://buff.ly/4fgFe8M

Given the stark warnings on the creation of “mirror microbes” published in @science.org this week, we have asked our cancer patients about their attitudes towards synthetic engineering of microbes. Their response may surprise you. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #microbiome #syntheticbiology
