I probably would have had two patients die in the last month alone without PubMed. Because of the peer reviewed articles I found on some rare diseases, confirming their diagnosis, and specialized treatment modalities, they are alive. #Medsky

I've Spent My Life Fighting for Kids' Health, and I Won't Stop Now www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/seco...

Just published! ECCO Consensus on Diet Management of IBD: includes recommendations on diet therapies for disease management, nutrition optimization, and IBD prevention. Have you read them? What do you think? academic.oup.com/ecco-jcc/adv...

ICYMI: The mind-boggling list of hundreds of #bannedbooks in Tennessee now includes Calvin and Hobbes by cartoonist Bill Watterson, They Called Us Enemy by @georgetakei.bsky.social, and The Complete Book of Cats by Rosie Pilbeam. More at: pen.org/magic-tree-h... #Caturday #Censorship

The President—who uses antisemitic slurs—is building concentration camps and an enormous secret police force. Ya know, maybe this is just because I’m Jewish, but I wish the political opposition and the media made a bigger deal about it!

Can confirm this email is authentic — and about nothing in it is true. Social Security income is still taxed. This bill does nothing to change that. It’s willful disinformation on the part of SSA. It’s a lie.

So let me get this straight… Under Hegseth’s leadership, the Army is rolling out a policy that could kick out Black men for razor bumps—a medical condition that disproportionately affects us. Meanwhile, troops who refused the COVID vaccine? They got waivers. Sympathy. Career protection. 🧵

This whole story is insane

RFKJr. is not a doctor or a scientist, he’s a batshit conspiracy theorist. Pretends to care about children’s health as he undermines access to lifesaving vaccines and ignores the #1 cause of death for children in the US (GUNS) as part an admin hellbent on leaving the planet uninhabitable for future.

Once again Cherokee Nation and other Oklahoma tribes are having to step in and feed non-Native children because of Kevin Stitt's refusal to accept programs that would help Oklahoma's low-income children. 😡 www.newson6.com/story/680c12...

New study: Boosting serotonin in the gut (not the brain) eases anxiety + depression—without the side effects. A safer path for treatment, especially during pregnancy. #GutBrainAxis #MentalHealth #SSRI @karapedsgastrodoc.bsky.social @nyupainresearch.bsky.social www.nyu.edu/about/news-p...

Really bad news here:

Will They Come for PubMed Next? www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/seco...

Critically important article from @katherinejwu.com. Biomedical research in the US (and beyond it) is under siege. Nothing about this is normal or acceptable.

The vaccine can help but only if given within 72 hours of exposure. Symptoms usually show up 11-12 days after exposure,so it's way to late once you're actually sick. See the post exposure prophylaxis section. www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd...

Congrats, everyone—the Elon boycott is working! Reports indicate that Tesla inventory is swelling, especially with Cybertrucks piling up outside their factory. Keep the boycott going, and don’t forget—today is the Economic Blackout!

In 1967, Pittsburgh's inner city produced America’s first EMT service. Comprised solely of Black men and women recruited from the city’s Hill District neighborhood, the paramedics of Freedom House Ambulance became trailblazers in providing pre-hospital and CPR care.

How does one teach Siri medical terminology? I just wrote to a patient that his symptoms were most likely due to a basso bagel response.

The GLP-1 family of drugs have anti-inflammatory effects independent of weight loss. 2 new studies shed light on the mechanisms —brain-gut-GLP axis blocks inflammation induced by TLRs (toll-like receptor) www.cell.com/cell-metabol...

NEW: Women experiencing pregnancy loss in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position. ⤵️

We do have amazing health IT team! #healthit

Facing criticism, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield said it will not proceed with a policy to put time limits on coverage for anesthesia during surgery.

We have very limited means of tracking inflammation in the body, like a one-off hs-CRP blood test. Today @science.org Continuous real-time monitoring of inflammation and protein biomarkers in the body with a shaking sensor science.org/doi/10.1126/...
