@demishassabis @IsomorphicLabs Amazing!

[Andreas Kyriacou @SheffieldRhythm]

@drjohnm Quite surprising that the data monitoring committee decided that mitigation rather than ending the trial on safety grounds was the right way forwards..and changing to lower Chadsvasc score? that changes a number of factors i.e healthier, 'less' persistent etc affecting outcomes

@demishassabis Let's hope they are created without emotional intelligence!

[Andreas Kyriacou @SheffieldRhythm]

@NobelPrize It is simple really. Neither of these two deserve it for different reasons. Therefore be brave and offer it to the next best candidate for it, on last years nominations..and if you struggle then symbolically offer it to someone like me. I have never started a war and want peace!

@demishassabis @BostonDynamics And this is where the real danger comes. Produce the humanoid and provide them with autonomous cognitive functions..the existential threat to humankind has never been greater

[Andreas Kyriacou @SheffieldRhythm]

@demishassabis Thoroughly enjoyed watching it. Not only inspirational on pushing away the boundaries of human understanding and creation but critically the delivery of an important message: the need and responsibility to help humanity! Humbled..

[Andreas Kyriacou @SheffieldRhythm]

@EYakoby Good luck resolving the issues peacefully and durably from here on!

What on earth does USA stand for nowadays?!

@True_EP I wonder what the correlation was with BMI

[Andreas Kyriacou @SheffieldRhythm]

@DrAsifQasim @wesstreeting @DHSCgovuk This is data till March 2022. What about since the recent paydeals?

@drraviele @DrJasonAndrade @tomdepotter @Dominik_Linz @PrashSanders @KTamirisaMD @Hragy @ftrae @drrakeshg1 @adribaran @TJaredBunch @JonPicciniSr Impressively high freedom from AF in either group..as good as PAF ablation outcomes.

@RhythmDoc01 @anish_koka @drjohnm I meant irrelevant in the absence of a comparator group. Would you agree that we can't be sure if the practice of LAAO has been beneficial/not in these medicare patients?

[Andreas Kyriacou @SheffieldRhythm]

@tomdepotter Why do CTI when we know that PVI gets rid of the majority of CTI flutter? And if you feel compelled to do it why take the risk using potentially harmful energy source??

⚠️ WARNING: Think Twice Before Visiting the Illegally Occupied Areas of Cyprus!⚠️

Travelers, please reconsider any plans to visit the so-called “turkish republic of northern Cyprus”, an area under illegal Turkish occupation since 1974, recognized only by Turkey and condemned internationally.

Your “dream” vacation could turn into a nightmare due to serious safety and legal risks that many tourists overlook.
First and foremost, visitors face the real risk of arbitrary detention or being held without due process, essentially like being abducted and held hostage, by the occupying regime who often ignore legal protections. Detention facilities there fall short of international standards, and the “police” has been accused of coerced confessions and violations of rights.

Even minor infractions, like taking photos or looking suspicious in their eyes, can lead to severe penalties, long jail terms, or heavy fines, with zero tolerance enforced strictly.

Compounding this danger, there’s no international diplomatic representation in the occupied north because all countries don’t recognize this illegal entity.
If you’re detained or in trouble, contacting your embassy for help will be extremely difficult, leaving you isolated and vulnerable with minimal consular support.

Human rights reports highlight how arbitrary arrests occur, and without proper access to your government, resolving issues could drag on indefinitely.

If you’re thinking of buying property? Don’t! Much of the land in the occupied areas is stolen from displaced Greek Cypriots. Purchasing or exploiting it is illegal under Cypriot and international law, making you complicit in a criminal act. You’ll face civil lawsuits from rightful owners, and penalties can include years imprisonment, triggering European Arrest Warrants or international prosecution anywhere in the EU and beyond.
Over 120 such warrants have already been issued, and courts like the European Court of Human Rights have repeatedly ruled against these transactions. Any “title” you get is null and void, you will lose everything.

This isn’t just politics, it’s about your safety, freedom, and avoiding lifelong legal headaches. Support justice by boycotting the occupied areas, visit the legitimate Republic of Cyprus instead.

@drjohnm Probably AI written 😊

@wesstreeting Your statement "the majority of resident doctors in the BMA did not vote to strike” is so strikingly misleading. You will lose credibility and people will question your ability to comprehend more complex issues. And paying newly qualified PAs more than resident doctors!?!

[Andreas Kyriacou @SheffieldRhythm]

@Dominik_Linz @drjohnm I wonder what proportion of patients can adhere to lifestyle modification long-term in real life. It's easier in the setting of a clinical trial over a year to achieve these secondary endpoints with LM. But one has to try nevertheless...

[Andreas Kyriacou @SheffieldRhythm]

@ShaunLintern @goldstone_tony @wesstreeting @BMAResidents Disappointingly misleading which serves no other purpose but to derail any meaningful debates to prevent the strikes. And also, resident doctors did strike before and the NHS did not go to standstill..Very poor and dishonest journalism.

[Andreas Kyriacou @SheffieldRhythm]

@HEARTinMagnet Not hugely surprising but 5 fold sounds a lot. Anabolics and LVH known risk, how about other drugs misuse in this population..
