Keep track of your patients, pending tasks, and handovers during a busy shift, instead of having it scattered across several conversations.

AlphaGenome Atlas is an interactive resource, mapping the predicted impact of all 9 billion DNA variants.

It works in a regular web browser, without any coding required, and is free for academic researchers. Excited for the discoveries to come.

With AlphaFold we mapped the protein universe - now with AlphaGenome Atlas we’re charting the human genome. It can predict the impact of all 9 billion possible single-letter DNA variants, helping scientists better understand disease. Freely available for academic research: https://t.co/Gsy6lW3z6O

In medical school, we are taught a golden rule: "When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras." It is a reminder to look for the common explanation before the exotic one. But after decades in cardiology, I’ve learned that if a patient is still suffering after the "horses" have been ruled out, a doctor must have the courage—and the curiosity—to go hunting for the zebra.

Sarah was a thirty-four-year-old marathon runner and a devoted mother who came to me after six months of being told she was "fine." She had been bounced from one specialist to another, each one pointing to her normal EKG and standard blood tests as proof that her crushing fatigue and racing heart were simply the result of "new mom stress." By the time she reached my office, she didn't just look tired; she looked invisible, as if the medical system had stopped seeing the woman and only saw the data.

Instead of re-reading the normal test results that had already failed her, I asked Sarah to walk me through her life. We talked about her training and her family, eventually landing on a backpacking trip she took to the Mendoza province of rural Argentina. She described staying in a charming, rustic cottage made of sun-dried mud bricks. She mentioned waking up one morning with a strangely swollen, purple eyelid that she assumed was a simple spider bite.

As she spoke, a memory surfaced from a biography I had read years ago about Charles Darwin. Most people know Darwin for his theories on evolution, but medical historians have long puzzled over the mysterious, debilitating illness that plagued him for decades after he returned from his voyage on the HMS Beagle. Darwin had written in his journals about being bitten by the "great black bug of the Pampas" while sleeping in mud-walled huts in South America. He spent the rest of his life suffering from heart palpitations and exhaustion that the Victorian doctors of his time could never explain.

I realized then that Sarah wasn't suffering from stress; she was likely hosting the same "silent killer" that may have haunted Darwin: Chagas Disease.

The "Kissing Bug" lives in the cracks of those mud-brick walls. It bites its victims—often near the eyes or mouth—while they sleep, passing a parasite called Trypanosoma cruzi into the blood. The danger of Chagas is that the initial symptoms disappear quickly, but the parasite can hide in the body for years, slowly weaving itself into the muscle and electrical "wiring" of the heart.

To confirm this, I moved beyond the standard tests. I ordered a specialized "Strain Rate" ultrasound, which doesn't just look at whether the heart is pumping, but at how the individual muscle fibers are stretching. We saw that while her heart looked strong to the naked eye, the fibers were "stuttering," a sign of early parasite-induced scarring. A specific blood test for the parasite's antibodies confirmed the diagnosis.

Treatment required a difficult, sixty-day course of anti-parasitic medication to stop the infection, paired with a protective heart regimen to keep her electrical system stable while the inflammation settled. Because we caught it before her heart was physically damaged or enlarged, the recovery was a success.

Months later, Sarah returned to my office, her vibrant energy restored. She brought me a leather-bound copy of The Voyage of the Beagle with a note tucked inside. She wrote that while other doctors had looked at her charts, I had looked at her. This case remains a vital reminder for my memoir: in a world of high-tech scans and AI, the most sophisticated diagnostic tool we possess is still the human story. When we truly listen, we don't just find the disease—we find the patient.

Good morning.

Our choices shape our legacy and our destiny. A life dedicated to Allah [swt] and full of barakah may be enriched and prolonged.

On the other hand, the scholars say that sin destroys the blessings of our years and our wealth on Earth. The choice between a fruitful, blessed life and a sinful one is always ours to make

What does it mean to “feed the most vulnerable people around us”? How did our beloved prophet ﷺ put this into practice, especially in the sacred months - Rajab, Sha'aban, and Ramadan? How can we follow in his footsteps?

Please prepare for your best Ramadan ever. Islam places kindness at the heart of worship. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:

“Allah [swt] is kind and loves kindness in all matters.” (Sahih Muslim). Please join us today. Together, let us make our brothers and sisters focus on their ib'adah and worry less about what to eat during Ramadan

I remember opening Rurouni Kenshin the very morning I had Phy105 test in 100level, just to preview it. But I ended up watching the whole movie. I haven't seen a better swordsman since then.
Even Sojiro and Shio Shio couldn't beat him.

[Titanium @akinkunmi]

You know that thing they do in Yoruba movies when they want to curse someone and they'll call the mother and son's oriki. For example, "Ajadi omo Asake". Yeah, that.
That's a very inefficient lookup algorithm.

Let me explain.

[Àgbà Akin @Kynsofficial]

Guys,

I and few visionary contributors created an app that let you leave crucial information in an encrypted vault for loved ones to find in case of loss, disappearance, death or emergencies.

Please share this and open thread to see how it works 👇

Lol.

Did the use of carcade for campaign start with her ?
The same carcade that the student community has so much enabled.

Same carcade that only adds volume to the rot in today's society and the STUDENT UNION in particular..

Future leaders my foot.. Bad prognosis at best.
