Acetaminophen/Tylenol use during pregnancy was not associated with children’s risk of autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability in sibling control analysis. This suggests associations observed in other, less rigorous analyses may have been attributable to familial confounding (aka erroneous finding):

Toxicology principle that needs to be mainstream: The dose makes the poison. That’s true of everything. Water. Oxygen. Vitamin A. Vitamin D. Aspartame. Formaldehyde. A single pear contains 120 times MORE formaldehyde than what might be in a vaccine. 1/

New SAGES Guideline: Intraoperative Imaging of the Common Bile Duct: A Systematic Review www.sages.org/publications...

As America nears a tipping point, Russell Vought desires a radical rightwing “counter-revolution.”   For @zeit.de, I wrote a profile of one of Trumpism’s key figures – and one of Trump’s most dangerous henchmen.   Some thoughts from the piece (since it is in German):

Nick Kristof went to talk to some of the moms losing their beloved children to Trump’s aid cuts. We are paying storage on already existing food rather than release it to starving kids. “I loved my child so much” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/o...

Key points from a recent @jamaoncology.com study on whether risk of pancreatic cancer could be linked to poor oral bacteria and fungi.

First, all of them have been central to dismantling the public health and scientific infrastructure of their agencies, sidelining and firing hundreds of people. Any notion that they were going offer a constructive new vision was sadly mistaken. 5/

surely more people must feel really sickened by the show that was put on as journalists get silenced, scientists are undermined, critics taken off air and cities are threatened?

I have a question. Several, actually.

Tiny tweaks in #DNA folding can have big effects. A study from @umeauniversitet.bsky.social shows that even the most subtle changes in DNA’s shape have an important influence on gene activity and energy production #research supported by Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation. tinyurl.com/aj886aaz

I don't think it's appropriate any longer for anyone, personally or as an organisation, to continue to have a presence on a social media platform whose owner openly calls for the dissolution of the UK parliament and urges people to "fight back or you die" because "violence is coming".

In Port-au-Prince, I saw last functioning hospital in city pushed to brink, forced to reduce even maternal care. Met families who have lost everything, crammed into makeshift shelters – women & girls bearing heaviest toll.   The suffering is immense. #Haiti needs urgent support.
