@Lpa_Doc Have large statin RCTs been analyzed according to Lp(a) status? Is the effect of statins on MACE different with low vs high Lp(a)?

@united @JohnLMatthews Very disappointing. Since most US airlines now consider properly packed bikes to be exempt from oversize baggage fees, United is now an outlier and won't be getting my business.

New research shows that X is bad for health OR = 1.4 [1.01; 1.97]

New research shows that Y is not associated with bad health OR = 1.4 [0.99; 2.01]

@Nerd4Cities Hi Ray, any comments on this piece? Seems like as much an opportunity as it is a problem: improve city centers as land values decline and diversity increases. https://t.co/0r0oEFE9LX

@JesperLundbom @Barry_Breaux @Drlipid @theproof Cholesterol can only enter the arterial wall within apoB particles, and smaller particles are more likely to be trapped, whereas larger particles dump more cholesterol, so it seems to be a wash. Hence, apoB is best measure. https://t.co/vcPxijxb0z

As everyone grumbles about having to change clocks again, it's worth revisiting the case for permanent *standard* time from the Academy of Sleep Medicine. Although everyone loves the idea of "more" daylight, permanent DST has problems. https://t.co/1qbeqOfXCI

@gAlecsyBrain @Lpa_Doc This graph is useless because you've cut off the axis labels.

@FeargusOSull "As daylight saving arrives in late autumn and large parts of the northern hemisphere are plunged abruptly into early evening darkness" I don't know how Britons talk about this colloquially, but the fact is you've got it all backwards. DST is the 1-hr-later time in the summer.

@herf @dr_kkjetelina It was a great post, although I think she misinterpreted the Kentucky study. Also please note that MMWR is not peer reviewed. It has editors but does not do traditional peer review in the interest of expediting publication on urgent public health topics.

@ChrisMasterjohn (continued) individual to protect others. That's how society functions. Would you saw laws against drunk driving are just about obedience too?

[Tom Jeanne @tomjeanne]

@ChrisMasterjohn Because remote workers never leave their house for any reason, eh? Employers have the right to require things of their employees including vaccinations. It's not new. It's been that way. It's not un-American either. We have laws and requirements that limit the freedom of the

@AviBittMD @ChrisMasterjohn It's almost like they acted as if we were in a global public health emergency and it would be unethical *not* to offer a vaccine with extremely high efficacy to everyone in the placebo group. Oh, wait...that is the case.

[Tom Jeanne @tomjeanne]

@pernicious_jest Yes!

[Tom Jeanne @tomjeanne]

@pernicious_jest Boundless, unrealistic optimism: perhaps an end in itself? Then again, how do we even gauge what is realistic (or what is real)? Maybe the pollyannas are right. Who are we to say?

@MultCoHealth I am seeing nothing but green AQI in Portland today. Can you please explain where your data come from?
