Seven days is not inferior (and better!!) to 14 days for the treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteremia @shorten2trial presented at @SEIMC_

Amazing work led by @josemolinagb and Jose Miguel Cisneros 🙌🏻

Imagine a 19-year-old scrolling TikTok. She watches a creator list five "signs you have undiagnosed anxiety." She recognizes three in herself. By the end of the week, she's describing herself as anxious to her friends. A month later, she's avoiding situations she used to handle fine.

What went wrong?

In a new paper by my PhD student Dasha Sandra, titled "Why mental health awareness can harm: Converging explanations for a societal problem", we argue that well-meaning mental health awareness can backfire, and we identify how. Four separate literatures (concept creep, nocebo effects, prevalence inflation, and illness self-labeling) have been circling the same problem from different angles. We show they converge on three mechanisms:

1.Awareness lowers the threshold for what counts as a disorder.
2. It trains people to scan their inner lives for symptoms and reinterpret normal distress as pathology.
3. Once someone adopts an illness identity, they behave in ways that confirm and deepen it.

The evidence is wide. Learning that loneliness is harmful makes solitude feel worse. Learning that stress is harmful worsens well-being and performance. Awareness videos about fake conditions like "wind turbine syndrome" produce real headaches. Trigger warnings raise anticipatory anxiety without reducing distress.

This does not mean awareness should stop. It means awareness can have unintended consequences, including manufacturing the suffering it tries to prevent. Inoculating people against these mechanisms works, and we already have evidence it does.

breaking news from @TheOnion:

due to irreconcilable differences between SCCM & ACEP, SCCM now recommends that *all* sepsis resuscitation be done in the back of an ambulance, followed by direct admit to ICU.

“this frees us up from following evidence we don't like” said the SCCM

You should be so lucky to have people throughout your research career that you can openly bounce ideas to and from - especially if they complement your strengths in your areas of weakness - it is a rare and precious gift.

@DrAllyLouks olfactory enrichment, sequel to olfactory ethics??

2 hours of nightly scent exposure boosted memory by 226% in older adults in a small RCT

The scents (rose, orange, eucalyptus, lemon, peppermint, rosemary, and lavender) likely stimulate and strengthen brain pathways directly linked to memory

CT scans save lives—but at a cost. New @JAMAInternalMed study projects over 10,000 future cancers annually in the U.S. from current CT use. Time to rethink how we image.
