Experts at @unibirmingham will lead a ground-breaking #Concussion research programme funded a potential $15.5M by @DeptofDefense.
This major programme aims to revolutionise how we understand & manage mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI).

1/ Another 🧵 on lies, damned lies, & statistics (@SteveBarclay did another media round yesterday)

I've seen some rather misleading use of statistics on the BBC & eslewhere on doctors pensions... so lets dig a bit deeper into Mr. Barclay's stats

Please read all & share / RT

[Dr Tony Goldstone @goldstone_tony]

It’s time to stop gaslighting & start talking @SteveBarclay

Your @Conservatives waiting lists are killing patients in unprecedented numbers & only 1 in 10 believe your nonsense it’s due to striking NHS workers 👇

RT to demand @RishiSunak & Steve get real about #PayRestoration

[Ole Jensen @olejensen.bsky.social @OleJensenOHBA]

Excited to initiate the 8 y Discovery project 'Attention to Reading' at @TheCHBH funded by the @wellcometrust . We will uncover the neuronal mechanisms supporting reading in adults and children. To this end we will develop a paediatric OPM-MEG system. Positions to be be listed.

An exciting day for the @UHSussex #headache service. We have given our first #Eptinezumab infusion to a chronic migraine sufferer. A special thank you to the nurses and doctors on ward B10 for helping us make it happen #neurology #migraine #CGRP #vyepti

#MRI biomarkers of knee #PTOA >1year from #ACL injury-possible mechanism;structural changes influence compositional changes,both contribute to symptoms and functional impact.Methods consensus needed! @stefankluzek @JoStocks @LadlowPete @DrA_N_Bennett @DMRC_ADMR @VersusArthritis

17/ If the DDRB & government of the day were being HONEST they would describe these graphs as follows

"DDRB & governemnt have exceptionally destroyed NHS pay against inflation when this was broadly protected in other groups"

RT if you have had enough & support #PayRestoration

[Dr Tony Goldstone @goldstone_tony]

1/ IMPORTANT🧵: Its been a busy week. A new #workforceplan- (supposedly) #RETENTION central to it, to help #CutWaitingLists.

But something is missing from the plan... a plan for PAY.

I produced that chart 👇 2 months ago, new pay & wait data are just in - pls read to end & RT!

@RealRajkamal @mrobbinsmd @JCephalalgia @MarkHeadache evidence shows androgen xs with increased testosterone in serum & csf and increased csf androstenedione is observed in people with IIH, distinct to people living with obesity. Testosterone enhances the Na+/K+ ATPase csf secretion causing raised icp https://t.co/s0vxPcD89k
