https://t.co/CVgb8cQTb4 Interesting for asthma folk! IL4a blockers might restore ciliary function - wonder one day if in personalised medication algorithm trials this might prove important in people with asthma driven by air pollution? 👀

👀 ⬇️ This is big news: QRISK4 now includes #COPD reflecting the increased CV risk seen in COPD over and above that due to shared risk factors.
NEW PAPER - new externally validated CVD risk prediction tool (QR4) which accounts for novel risk factors including learning disability, pregnancy related factors, cancer and COP and improves on QRISK3, SCORE2, ASCVD. @NatureMedicine @DrAzizSheikh @NICEComms @NHSEngland @TheBHF

Philip Morris kills at least one million people every year. Retweet if you think it is grotesque for the #tobacco industry, the main manufacturer of lung cancer, to be funding medical education. https://t.co/QuryVkrkhc

Take home message! Thanks @LondonPaedResp #paedresp2024
Court in order!👨🏻⚖️ Up next, the rebuttal: Dr Prasad Nagakumar @PrasadNagakumar - convincing us that we don’t need objective measures to diagnose #astma (CON) “Yes, BUT…” - no gold standard - conflicting guidelines - questionable sensitivity … and more! #paedresp2024

“…2 bad ideas linger …. The 1st ….in a country where 4.2million (nearly 3 in 10) children live in poverty, the suggestion…we are…anything approaching an over-protective nanny state is ludicrous. The 2nd… that smoking is somehow an economically productive activity..”
