Pregnancy can be so scary, this patient developed reversible vasoconstriction syndrome in post partum leading to mesial temporal lobe sclerosis, causing her to have refractory seizures. She requires temporal lobe resection for relief 😮‍💨

I suspect many in Silicon Valley would be surprised to learn that detecting a cancer earlier does not automatically translate into a better outcome.

In some cases, we can identify cancers years before they would have become clinically apparent, yet the ultimate outcome may be unchanged. We've seen this phenomenon with prostate and thyroid cancers, where increased screening and detection have often led to overdiagnosis and overtreatment without a corresponding reduction in mortality.

Finding more disease is not the same as helping more patients. The question isn't whether we can detect something earlier—it's whether doing so meaningfully improves outcomes.

Techbros: We made a gadget that measures something. This will cure cancer.

Doctors: Realistically, this will mostly generate anxiety from false positives.

Techbros: Doctors just hate innovation.

Every single time.

You got tech executives and software engineers telling anyone they can on Twitter to go get CAC scans and cardiac CTAs when there is no evidence of benefit with indiscriminate use, and in fact potential harm (unnecessary invasive angiography and stenting).

Does the standard of rigor in your field only apply to your own job or also opining on other professions?

Public service announcement:

Now that "modern" cough syrups are available only via prescriptions and not over-the-counter (OTC), as rightly pointed out, the other OTC option becomes alternative medicine.

Of these, Ayurveda and Homeopathy cough syrups are most likely to be in demand.

But buyer beware (this will be mostly the rural populace that will be affected).

Most Ayurveda cough syrups contain - Giloy (or Tinospora species) - the most common cause for herbal liver injury in India (>300 cases already reported in published literature including our multicenter series). Giloy plant consumption can make the adaptive immune system go into overdrive (due to presence of plant furano-diterpinoids) and autoimmune damage to the liver has been frequently recorded/ reported.

Most Homeopathic cough syrup formulations contain alcohol along with....cockroach (Blatta orientalis). Yes, this is true. Homeopaths believe that using crushed and macerated cockroach parts diluted with alcohol can reduce cough - because cockroach parts are responsible for cough/asthma at homes - so "like cures like" and they give you diluted roach-cocktails.

The way Telegram was just banned to ensure "smooth exams," don't be surprised if Twitter gets banned one day to ensure smooth, fact-free, narrative-safe, criticism-free elections.

[Pavel Durov @durov]

Indian telecom Reliance is sabotaging access to Telegram for millions of users OUTSIDE India (including the UAE) via a rogue method called BGP hijacking.

The sabotage seems intentional, as Reliance has ignored multiple reports.

This may be part of a competitive war, as Reliance is partially owned by Meta — the company behind WhatsApp.

Network operators are advised to reject unauthorized BGP announcements from Reliance (AS18101) to prevent route hijacks and ensure stable Internet access for their users.

Such abuse of global Internet routing is alarming. I wouldn’t be surprised if Reliance/WhatsApp were also behind the recent lobbying effort to ban Telegram in India.

@KartiPC @NTA_Exams You should also shut down all the shopping malls since there might be a theft in one of them. And close the roads because I heard someone was speeding.
