يعتصر القلب ألمًا ونحن نرى أخانا عايض العتيبي .. أحد أبناء الكويت ومنسوبي الطيران المدني
.. يرقد في العناية المركزة بعد أن فقد ساقه جراء الاعتداء الذي استهدف مطار الكويت.

نسأل الله الكريم رب العرش العظيم أن يمنّ عليه بالشفاء والعافية، وأن يجبر مصابه .. ويخفف ألمه .. ويعيده إلى أهله سالمًا معافى. كما نسأله تعالى أن يشفي جميع المصابين، ويرحم من فقدنا، ويحفظ الكويت وأهلها من كل سوء ومكروه.

لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله. 🤲🇰🇼

Appreciate Iran firing missiles early tn so we can get a good nights sleep

@GadSaad Zionists don’t use knives to threaten medical staff. They prefer airstrikes.

@DrCatharineY A WaPo paywalled article is not going to change any minds. Better to just confront the data head on.

[Hsainoh 🇰🇼 @Jog_DMC]

@MdBreathe Citing a review article that literally says it came out before any randomized trials were done doesn’t prove your point. Stick to ENT.

@MdBreathe Ivermectin doesn’t work for COVID

@SBakerMD I used to mainline steak and eggs into my carotids every morning. It made me squirt geysers of diarrhea into your mom’s face for days on end. 9 months later, you arrived, a blessing from God.
Happy birthday son.

@EdLatimore One last thing I will say is that nuance is extremely important in medicine. Misinterpreting data has dire consequences, especially for the sick.
People who may have familial hypercholesterolemia (ie. a genetic mutation), should pay great attention to their LDL levels.

[Hsainoh 🇰🇼 @Jog_DMC]

@EdLatimore If interested these are two better quality studies that better control for confounders and actually tracked LDL levels over time 2/2:-

@EdLatimore These studies are not meant to tell you if a certain blood result will help you live longer, they’re a jumping off point that scientists use for generating a hypothesis for better quality studies like RCTs and systematic reviews and meta analyses.

[Hsainoh 🇰🇼 @Jog_DMC]

@EdLatimore Their research question was likely this:

Among adults in the Swedish AMORIS cohort, do mid/late-life blood biomarkers predict the chance of reaching age 100?

They tried to prove whether there was an association or correlation, rather than causation.

[Hsainoh 🇰🇼 @Jog_DMC]

@EdLatimore In your original tweet. This is the study you later admitted to not reading, which I’ve also addressed.

[Hsainoh 🇰🇼 @Jog_DMC]

@EdLatimore If you think they didn’t set out to prove anything, then you didn’t even read the abstract😂😂😂

[Hsainoh 🇰🇼 @Jog_DMC]

@EdLatimore The study you cited does not look at LDL dude

[Hsainoh 🇰🇼 @Jog_DMC]

@EdLatimore My friend, the studies to prove if something leads to something or otherwise are conducted using the same method.
Your original claim was that the single biggest indicator for making it to 100 was high LDL. Which is also incorrect.

[Hsainoh 🇰🇼 @Jog_DMC]

@EdLatimore Also, when you say “lead to”, that’s what causality is.

[Hsainoh 🇰🇼 @Jog_DMC]

@EdLatimore Did you read the study? Please tell me honestly, because the authors themselves disclose as part of their limitations that they didn’t look at that outcome.

[Hsainoh 🇰🇼 @Jog_DMC]

@EdLatimore The second study is also retrospective. And it didn’t even look at LDL—it looked at total cholesterol, again only using a single measurement. If you want the truth, quote people who interpret these studies for a living. 5/5

[Hsainoh 🇰🇼 @Jog_DMC]

@EdLatimore And instead of cardiovascular mortality, they looked at all-cause mortality. So cancer, dementia, even accidents were lumped in. Associating LDL with those deaths is nonsense from the start. 4/5
