Calcium scans of the heart arteries, one of the most frequently ordered tests by primary care physicians and cardiologists, have little incremental value compared with well-established clinical risk scores.

“Routinely using a calcium scan in people who are at low risk may result in unnecessary radiation exposure, testing and costs with unclear clinical benefits."—@NilayShahMDMPH

Your childhood experiences are never your fault, but your adult responsibility is to heal from them so you don't damage every person who tries to love you.
College basketball world, take notice: Tom Izzo is saying something he hasn’t said in years.
“For the first time in a long time, I like my team in July and August. Usually I never like my team until February and March,” the Michigan State head coach told me this week.
“Hopefully that’ll be a good sign.”
"Their superstar doesn't come to games; ours does."
Tom Izzo shared a funny story about Earvin "Magic" Johnson at the YMCA Legacy of Magic Gala, which raised over $800k for the Lansing-area YMCA.

Some leftovers from last night’s Tigers-Pirates game: on Framber Valdez’s next to last pitch, his neck chain detached. He caught it before it fell to the ground, reattached it — and gave up a three-run double on the next pitch. In the end, he gave the Tigers 5 2/3 innings to end a 3-game winning streak. He needs to be a stopper, following the trades of Skubal and Mize.
Major cheat code for life: Always having something on the calendar you're excited about. It can really be anything. Difficult physical challenge, big project, fun trip, ambitious goal, whatever. It creates energy. It promotes structure. It carries you through the lows. Life hack.
The kids who come to college used to being motivated by mom, dad, or coach often don’t make it. That motivation works in the short term, but it quickly fades.
To be successful over the long haul, we all need motivation that comes from deep within.
Imagine treating the most important, impactful, influential woman’s basketball player ever like a piece of shit. Insane disrespect.
By the way shes got 25 and 9 assists and is 5/6 from 3. And they HATE her for it #freecaitlin
Last but hardly least: Three-time Pro-Bowl selection Jahmyr Gibbs and the Lions reached agreement today on a three-year, $67.5 million deal that could be worth up to $75.75 million and includes $51.5 million guaranteed, now making him the NFL’s highest-paid running back, confirmed by his @AthletesFirst agent Todd France (Toddfrance_ on IG).
Since earned runs became an official stat in both leagues in 1913, just one MLB player has reached the following marks through their first 16 career starts:
Sub-2.00 ERA
Sub-1.00 WHIP
13+ team wins
That player is Troy Melton of the @tigers.
