Pulmonary embolism management just changed dramatically.
The new 2026 AHA/ACC Multisociety PE Guideline introduces:
• A completely new PE classification system
• Stronger role for PERT teams
• More clarity on thrombectomy/thrombolysis
• Early discharge for selected patients
• Long term follow up recommendations

Twin TCs 🌀 appearing in the West-Central Pacific ~ Mar-Apr is often a hallmark of a “Super” El Niño, largely because of the gigantic WWB that comes from it
This yr’s El Niño looks poised to join some truly elite company
2015, 1997, & 1982 are good examples of these “twin” TCs
Cyclone Narelle has entered the Gulf of Carpentaria after the Queensland leg of her near-continent-wide, coastal tour of Australia.
Once she makes her second landfall in the Northern Territory, Narelle will embark on a week-long circumnavigation of Western Australia, which may end with a direct impact to the city of Perth at the end of the month.
What a crazy cyclone track this is going to end up being.
Cuba 🇨🇺 has just recorded its lowest temperature on record this morning, with 0.0°C (32°F) at Indio Hatuey. This marks the first time in recorded history that the country has officially reached the freezing point.
The "Why" behind the madness:
Pathologists were losing their minds because the "cancer" cells under the microscope were 10x smaller than human cells. They looked like "alien" nests.
Here’s the breakdown:
The Perfect Storm: The patient’s immune system was severely weakened (low CD4 count).
The Mutation: The tapeworm’s stem cells mutated into a malignant "proto-cancer."
The Invasion: Because the body couldn't fight back, these parasite cells broke free and "metastasized" into human organs.
It wasn't just a parasite infection, it was a biological takeover. DNA sequencing confirmed the cells were 100% H. nana, not human.
Basically, the tapeworm’s cancer treated the human body like a petri dish. Sadly the human
The Sad Reality: The patient passed away just 72 hours after DNA sequencing finally solved the mystery. We found the answer, but nature was faster. It serves as a haunting reminder of how unpredictable medicine becomes when the immune system loses its grip
During 2025, the amount of water vapor pulsing through the sky at any given time was roughly equivalent to 250 to 350 Mississippi Rivers.
Here's what moisture flows looked like this year.
