Pretty crazy that the party supported by actual swastika flag waving nazis shouting "Jews will not replace us" are even pretending that this is not a ludicrous ploy to target minorities and attack their freedom of speech.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will begin screening immigrants’ social media accounts for antisemitic content as grounds to deny visa and green-card applications, the agency announced — a move that immigration law and free-speech experts condemn as an alarming federal overstep.

This is why “choking” during sex isn’t benign or just a kink. It’s legitimately dangerous, and every time I say this I get called all sorts of names bc people think I “don’t get it.”

Yes, this is exactly what it looks like... 😱 This 15 centimetre -long, perfectly intact blood clot was coughed up in one piece. Even more remarkable? It’s an exact cast of the right bronchial tree—the branching network of airways that carries air to and from the lungs. 🧵 #MedEd #MedSky #MedSchool

Great question! Aspiration pneumonia usually involves mouth flora (streptococci, Fusobacterium, Peptostreptococcus), not typically Pseudomonas or resistant GNRs. Gram neg concerns arise if lower GI contents are aspirated, but CTX covers gram neg like Klebsiella if needed so we're covered here ☺️

What is the Circle of Willis? 🔄 An arterial structure at the base of the brain, ensures collateral circulation in case of blockages. Connects the internal carotid and vertebrobasilar arteries. Can help prevent ischemic strokes by redistributing blood when needed. #cardiosky

Well done. I was just confronted with a *friend* who is totally buying into nonsense she is being brainwashed with on the Fox channel. I don't understand it. How can people with a somewhat functioning brain buy into all that nonsense? Psychiatrists? Possibly, but there aren't all that many around.

Not all aspirations need Abx ☺️ aspiration pneumonitis resolves in 24-48h; if symptoms persist >48h, treat aspiration pneumonia with CTX CTX covers key oral anaerobes (eg Peptostreptococcus) so extended anaerobe coverage is usually unnecessary avoid piptaz first-line & reserve for resistant cases

First, some background: psychosis is a syndrome of hallucinations, delusions, disorganized thought. Chronic symptoms are diagnosed as schizophrenia. Antipsychotic medications are not always effective and often cause intolerable side effects. Talk to anyone who takes them - we need better treatment.

A vicious 🔄 - we all know steroids contribute to weight ⬆️ , but this study by Cimmino et al also demonstrates how a higher BMI is associated with increased pain & fatigue in PMR patients. Of course these symptoms often results in higher doses of steroids… www.jrheum.org/content/52/2... #rheumsky

Do not forget that Mitch McConnell had polio as a kid, and it did impact his legs pretty severely…and post-polio syndrome is a thing, it’s progressive, and when you combine that w/age, well…if he’s not careful, he’ll end up w/a broken wrist from a FOOSH, as he keeps FDGB (falling down + going boom.)
