@davidasinclair I don't see why they would test that dose. All the evidence in humans points to a weekly dose of 4-8 mg. And the time frame is too short to show benefit.
Nothing to see here, just a wasted study.

@markkaplan20 110 is still too high
"if their LDL-C was above only 60 mg/dL (or 1.55 mmol/L), then they still developed atherosclerosis"

Thats crazy. Wait until you hear about the guy, whose only medical experience is that a worm ate part of his brain, being appointed to actually run Health and Human Services

The most underused instrument in medicine isn't in the supply room. It's the chair.

Pull it up. Sit at eye level. Ask, then wait.

What a patient tells a seated physician, they often never tell a standing one.

I emailed Dr. Tony Fauci today to tell him how disgusted and sad I was with how he has been being treated. I told him he is a hero and has my support and my admiration.

I reminded him who I was: the “aerosol activist.” During COVID I pushed him — and pushed him, and would not let it go — until he said out loud that the SARS-2 virus travels through the air. He graciously heard me out in a Zoom meeting. He changed what he said. That is not a small thing in a man with that much on his shoulders.

So today I sent a note of thanks, and shared our latest work on the Tijuana River at the US-Mexico border. I almost didn’t send it. He is flooded right now, and I figured it might never reach him.

He wrote back within the hour. Thanked me, and told me to keep up the great work.

A man under relentless attack still made time to answer someone he owed nothing to — and to encourage her work while he’s fighting for his own name. Gracious, ethical, kind. Exactly the qualities the people going after him are trying to strip out of our society.

I stand with Dr. Fauci. He is a hero. Sad times in America continue.

A schoolteacher with a sore throat. A man presents with chest pain and is sure it is the sausages. Two sisters, same week, both in kidney failure.

What ties them together? The pull of the first diagnosis.

An American hero. Retweet if you agree.

[yolanda @NOREGRETS65]

If you didn’t work in healthcare during Covid shut the fuck up!! Thank you Dr Fauci!

@THE1DAW I love the bluster - but he’ll take the first P4 offer he gets (and I would not blame him. The money difference is staggering_

[Docserious @williamlight7]

@nicksortor They only passed it because they know it will die in the Senate. Apply this to the President and his family as well and you will get Democrats to vote for it. Republicans only passed things they know will never become law.

@DocPriyamMD Nonsense. Speculation without any real evidence.

@RebelEconProf Socialism bought the national parks for all of to use . Selling off parts is the Heritage Foundation plan to privatize all of it.

[Docserious @williamlight7]

@SirD589812 Exactly. Look back at the history. The chief of Neurosurgery at my institution told me they were involved in the intial studies and Dex was all they used- it is more from habit and history that any difference in physiology

[Docserious @williamlight7]

@SirD589812 Because the drug company that sponsored the studies in neurology manufactured dex, and the ones who sponsored studies for ICU and Pulmonary disease manufactured hydrocortisone

[Docserious @williamlight7]

@SirD589812 I had PhD pharmacologist professor tell me th history of Dex and HC and it all has to do with who provided the drugs for the studies. And paid the doctors to do them. There is no clinical difference between them in vivo.

That’s history right there, you understand? 🇺🇸

[Dr Terry Simpson @drterrysimpson]

A parasite has now sickened 145 people across multiple states.

It’s called Cyclospora. The symptoms aren’t subtle: prolonged watery diarrhea, cramping, fatigue, nausea, and bloating. Unlike a typical “24-hour stomach bug,” this illness can last for weeks.

A few important points:

• It’s usually linked to contaminated fresh produce, not meat or sushi.
• Washing fruits and vegetables is still a good idea—but normal home washing, vinegar, or baking soda have not been shown to reliably remove or kill Cyclospora.
• The source of the current outbreak is still under investigation.
• The preferred treatment is Bactrim (TMP-SMX), although many healthy people eventually recover without antibiotics.

This is also a reminder that food safety doesn’t begin in your kitchen. It begins in the field, during irrigation, harvesting, processing, and distribution.

As always, follow the evidence—not the rumors.

@PeterDiamandis And no evidence that working to improve VO2 max has any effect .
