Most fragility fractures occur in patients without osteoporosis. Should we rethink who gets treated? And could just one or two IV infusions (spread years apart) of zoledronate prevent fractures for years? Have the concerns about bisphosphonates been overblown? 🎧 Listen to the

Also — it’s “review of systems,” not “review of symptoms”
Not to be THAT dictionary, but… It’s ‘per se,’ not ‘per say.’ It’s ‘dog-eat-dog world,’ not ‘doggy-dog world.’ It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’ It’s ‘one and the same,’ not ‘one in the same.’ It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'

Tylenol (aka acetaminophen or paracetamol) was not available for purchase until the 1950s. Descriptions of autism date back to the early 1900s. Children with autism need health insurance and access to services, not less prenatal Tylenol exposure.

I have taken care of over 10,000 patients. I have never once asked any of them or known what their donor status is.
@SecKennedy if a doctor knows you are a donor patient, he is more likely to give up on saving you.. that is just how it works

Really brave of Florida for volunteering themselves to be a natural experiment to show the rest of us what a world with measles, polio, and pertussis would look like again. 😀
BREAKING: Florida will work to eliminate all child vaccine mandates in the state, officials say.

Everyone talks about decentralization, few talk about trust. When millions of smartphones start running AI workloads together, one question matters most: How do you trust what’s happening on someone else’s device? 🤔 Fair question. That’s why we use TEEs (Trusted Execution

Hot take: CGMs are probably overused
Case report shows that continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) can yield false hypoglycemia alerts in non-diabetic patients, emphasizing the need for clinical correlation and careful use to avoid unnecessary stress and hospitalizations. https://t.co/Q5df303HF6
