A 17-year-old girl with systemic lupus erythematosus presented with a 2-day history of decreased vision in her right eye and 6 months of intermittent headaches. She stopped treatment with methylprednisolone and hydroxychloroquine 2 years ago. What is the diagnosis?

Gordon Holmes achieved what he did without a department or even an office. All his research took place on the wards of Queen Square and at Charing Cross Hospital and at home at night. He refused to submit to authority or be dominated by preconception. A modest man .

Tory voters: at the next election, stay home, protect the NHS, save lives.

So let me get this straight: we’re all apparently having to wait for Boris Johnson to return to work to make any big decisions re Britain’s #coronavirus strategy - the same Boris Johnson whose shameful complacency ensured all our decisions to date have been late or wrong?

Doctors could be forced to withdraw lifesaving treatment from stable or improving patients to prioritise those deemed likely to have a better prognosis if demand on the heath service outstrips capacity. This is according to new ethics guidance from @TheBMA https://t.co/GUhJwyluBi

COVID-19 in the UK: 5 actions. 1. Reform leadership now. 2. Urgently address NHS variability. 3. Scale-up palliative care. 4. Plan for a post-peak desire to lift restrictions. 5. Begin a national dialogue about what kind of society we want to live in. https://t.co/2UItjYZJPa

"Americans spend $88bn a year to treat back and neck pain—almost as much as the $115bn spent treating #cancer." And most of the treatments don't work or make things worse.

UK economy flatlined in 3 months to October — zero growth in GDP over rolling three-month period compared with same timeframe in 2018. Over the single month of October, the economy grew by 0.7 per cent year on year, the weakest growth since March 2012.

So much for informed consent...

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

This beggars belief.

@MattHancock has given Amazon access to huge swathes of NHS data to exploit however they choose - for free. The NHS won’t see a penny.

Our NHS is being sold off even as @BorisJohnson swears blind it isn’t.

OK, respect.

That was serious burn time from @afneil. I particularly liked (and chuckled at) the Supreme Court line.

Boris Johnson, you’ve been called out... Can we trust you even to turn up?

[Rob Burley @RobBurl]

This is a tough interview but, as with @NicolaSturgeon and @jeremycorbyn, I want to thank @joswinson for taking part. It’s important for democracy and a serious test as people make their decisions about how to vote next week. #andrewneilinterviews

Exciting to see our paper in @TheLancetNeuro on the world’s largest study of age at symptom onset/death and disease duration in genetic frontotemporal dementia.

Privileged to have led the study as part of the FTD Prevention Initiative and @GENFI1. #endftd https://t.co/kM7TLfpFJj
