Ubiquitous writing mistakes I come across often

Tired writers:

• Mix sections randomly
• Rush the finish line
• Skip critical details

Smart writers:

• Check sequence consistency
• Map their argument flow
• Test method clarity

Clarity beats speed. Always.

CLINICAL DECISION MAKING

''Sensitivity - vs - Specificity''

"Imagine you're running airport security, screening passengers (tests) to catch dangerous items (diseases). Now meet your two star agents: Sensitivity and Specificity.

Sensitivity is your overachiever. It’s all about catching every possible threat. If a test has high sensitivity, it correctly identifies most people with the disease—it rarely misses anyone. In other words, it’s great at picking up true positives. The downside? It might sometimes flag innocent travelers (false positives), just to be safe.

Specificity, on the other hand, is cool and precise. If a test has high specificity, it correctly clears people without the disease—it rarely calls someone sick if they’re actually healthy. That means fewer false alarms (false positives), but if it’s too strict, it might miss some real cases (false negatives).

In short:

High sensitivity = fewer false negatives.
High specificity = fewer false positives.

Hostilities in the #Gaza Strip have sharply intensified since last night, leaving many dead and displaced overnight.

The surge in violence is placing even greater strain on hospitals already overwhelmed by critical shortages and high patient loads.

This week, @WHOoPt Representative visited Al-Shifa Hospital, where the 50-bed emergency department is routinely receiving around 500 patients—a tenfold overcapacity.

Without urgent resupply, more patients will suffer and die needlessly.

This is preventable.

Let aid in. Protect health care. Ceasefire.

IV Fluid comparison

[Keith Siau @drkeithsiau]

This doctor was facing blindness and eye surgery after 5 years of suffering from a mystery eye infection caught from swimming in the Amazon. As a “last resort”, she was sent for metagenomic sequencing, which identified a rare form of leptospirosis. After 3 weeks of targeted antibiotics, her infection cleared.

Metagenomics technology uses cutting-edge genomic sequencing, which can identify all bacteria, fungi or parasites present in a sample by comparing them against a database of millions of pathogens. This could be gamechanging for the field of infectious diseases.
