Massive reductions in Hospital Acquired Pneumonia come from ensuring simple oral care steps for patients.

Why are hospitals FAILING to do this?

Oral care saves lives!

(It saves money too!)

New research by Henderson and colleagues found graded distinctions among typical amnestic and atypical (language, visual) Alzheimer’s phenotypes. The findings support a transdiagnostic, multidimensional model of AD that spans all subtypes: https://t.co/AQ31ZWk1z9

Andrew Wiles said of Fermat’s Last Theorem, “I found it,” not created or solved.

Is math invention or discovery? If he found it, where was it, in nature, mind, or brain?

I imagine it is in the interaction of nature × body × mind.

@GabriDiscenza @JaeggiMr @doctor_oxford @ArthurRankHouse @Channel4News No I mean by your £1k a night on a general ward ballpark vs 800k for 9 beds all year the hospice is btter AND far more economical - if it’s a financial decision it is incompetent, and I doubt the people making the decisions are, so like you say they’ve decided it’s not essential

[Robert Howard @ProfRobHoward]

A perfect model for ageing. I’ve spent my working life with older people and the happiest of them have followed a similar course to Patricia Routledge. Good to see it written down like this.

[Richard Talbot (rtslt.bsky.social) @rtslt]

@GabriDiscenza @JaeggiMr @doctor_oxford @ArthurRankHouse @Channel4News So these hospice beds are roughly a quarter of the price of people being on a general ward? And immeasurably more appropriate. It’s impossible to me that this decision has been made on value for money grounds, it’s something else.

[Richard Talbot (rtslt.bsky.social) @rtslt]

@AvantiWestCoast @prashanth_418 Okay. Can I get any train tomorrow as I have work meetings?

[Richard Talbot (rtslt.bsky.social) @rtslt]

@AvantiWestCoast @prashanth_418 Please this is unacceptable.

[Richard Talbot (rtslt.bsky.social) @rtslt]

@AvantiWestCoast @prashanth_418 What I was told in no uncertain terms by Avanti staff that all tickets will be valid tomorrow. If this is not the case I need to come back to Euston! What??
