An American passenger from the ship exposed to #hantavirus has been issued a mandatory quarantine by the CDC.
@JenniferNuzzo highlights that it is a very high bar for such federal mandates, noting it's likely chosen to ensure immediate access to proper care should they et sick.
Curious if the US Govt has recently considered taking a minority stake in a top-tier airline, similar to Air France-KLM.
It may force Delta, United, and AA to compete with a subsidized airline, especially in coach seating.
Could name it “USA,” short for “U.S. Airways”
Airlines for America President blames Elizabeth Warren and Pete Buttigieg for destroying lower air fares and thousands of jobs by annihilating Spirit Airlines.
Gene Braunwald died at 96.
In a normal world, this would be front page of the NYT and WSJ.
The father of modern cardiology.
Fled the Holocaust as a boy
Went on to save millions of lives
The most important clinician-scholar of the last 50 years. We should all know his name
Seems like redecoration overspending is a bipartisan issue. I remember Dr Ben Carson having a similar scandal at HUD. Politicians on both sides need to reel in spending that could otherwise be much more judiciously used, especially in our current economy.
Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb's line item spends, from the article:
-$65,000 on chairs for a conference room
-$2,200 on a mayor’s chair and $51,000 on drapes for mayor's office complex
-$50,000 on Martha's Vineyard trip with security, including $1,500 on limo service
Daraxonrasib is the "nasty drug" Ben Sasse is describing, and it may be the most important thing to happen to pancreatic cancer in a generation.
RAS mutations drive more than 90% of pancreatic cancers. For decades the protein was considered undruggable. Daraxonrasib is the first in its class to directly target the active form of RAS, and in early trials second-line patients saw median progression-free survival of 8.8 months. The number most of these patients usually get is closer to two or three.
The FDA granted it Breakthrough Therapy and Orphan Drug designation for a reason. The field is finally moving because we stopped chasing one answer and started attacking the biology that actually drives the disease.
Ben is facing the most unforgiving diagnosis in oncology with extraordinary courage. Praying for him and his family.
- 9yo boy referred to A&E by GP with suspected appendicitis

- No answer for 2h, is triaged to get a call back from a clinician
- Gets even worse. Parents take him back to A&E.

Fascinating that there has been little discussion of the ID match rate this year. Only 60% of programs filled. Continues to decline year after year. @IDSA continues to do nothing. The specialty burns while they fiddle. Tragic. It is truly a mystery to me why anyone pays dues.
Saw my first case of coccidioidomycosis. Cocci IgM(+), IgG(-). Several peripheral lung nodules. Lived in SW-USA for many yrs, recently moved to OH. Experienced several haboobs across his life. On intestinal transplant list. Possible lifelong antifungal tx. Only @ClevelandClinic.
