It was an honor to testify before the Mississippi Legislature Study Committee on Insurance Coverage about the importance of biomarker testing and the need for legislation to ensure access for all. @MSLCRT@AmericanCancer@NLCRTnews@LungPolicy
Here’s a nice analysis of 2.5M children about Tylenol and autism. The study found a small association between tylenol use in pregnancy and autism, but the association went away in sibling analysis. In sibling analysis you compare children born to the same mother where one child was exposed to Tylenol but not the other. This is a better comparison because genetics are similar between siblings whereas they differ greatly in non siblings from different families. Bottom line: no increased risk of autism with tylenol use in a huge population analysis. https://t.co/JyodtiSwWC

No more ‘homemade’ fenestrations, branched and off-the-shelf solutions are making complex AAA repair safer and more reproducible. Hopefully, reliance on custom-made devices will keep decreasing as technology advances.
