#DoseOptimization “It's the right thing to do for our patients,” says Mikkael Sekeres, MD. Does drug $$ matter? “Each milligram of drug doesn't have an inherent value.” Optimal dosing w/⬇️toxicities, pts are likely to remain on tx longer= win/win! #bcsm https://t.co/j4UiUGR8uW

Coming up this Friday night at @THSEA / Town Hall Seattle!

[Double Whammy @double_whammied]

Looking forward to talking breasts, knockers, dirty pillows and, yes, "tits" with author Sarah Thornton @EyesThornton this Friday, May 10, at @THSEA / Town Hall Seattle.

Hope to see you there!

Adults got 2wks of keto & 2wks of vegan (in sequence, randomized): “a 2wk dietary intervention can impose a striking shift in host immunity, superseding genetics, age, sex, ethnicity, race, BMI.”
Keto: ⬆️ adaptive immunity Vegan: ⬆️ innate

My latest for @FredHutch on viruses that "go long." It's not just #COVID19, apparently. Many viruses have the potential to linger, causing long-term health issues. The good news? Researchers are on it.
