I'm incredibly excited to announce opening of our new sham-controlled RCT of #radiosurgery for #spasticity in patients with #spinalcordinjury, #CerebralPalsy, #stroke. Thanks to @VarianMedSys for funding & to my colleague & tx inventor, Dr Pantaleo Romanelli #Neurosurgery #pmr

So thrilling when a clinical trial reverses "conventional wisdom" -- a perfect example here.

The @ACRORadOnc Government Relations & Economics Committee has released a statement on the 2026 Physician Fee Schedule Final Rule & will provide further information on the new treatment delivery codes in the weeks ahead: https://t.co/WoQ9YQMaM5 #ACROAdvocacy #ACROGREC

This is big. From more than $25k every 2 months … to…. $460 ! If you take Stelara , ask your doctor about Starjemza. There is a really good chance we are much less than your deductible. And if you work at a huge company, we are cheaper than what you pay your PBM , by a

Dick Cheney: “In our nation’s 246-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump. He tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him”

💥 “Screen or not to screen?” After 23 years, ERSPC finally answers. 📊 ERSPC (n = 162,236 men, 55–69 yrs) 🔹 Screening: repeated PSA testing 🔹 Control: no screening ⏱️ Median follow-up: 23 yrs 🎯 Results 🧬 ↓ Prostate cancer mortality: 1.4% vs 1.6% (RR 0.87 [0.80–0.95]) ➡️

Buyer beware! New KFF story shows that Medicare Advantage patients have access to HALF the number of doctors that traditional Medicare patients have access to. Star ratings are not correlated with network and BCBS has the most choice. https://t.co/w7Y6vK8bJw

Folks (Prasad etc) who say “cancer screening must improve overall survival”, let's take a real example, ovarian cancer. ~0.7% mortality; salpingectomy reduces risk by ≥50%. Trial could be powered on cancer mortality (n~20,000) vs. overall (n~750,000). Which would you recommend?

I learned that a significant percentage of the population, particularly in the southeast US (and Martha’s Vineyard), are allergic to cetuximab. This is because it contains the alpha-gal structure, and allergy can be triggered after being bitten by a lone-star tick.

I just read an incredible paper. These authors went and used sequencing data from the U.K. Biobank and found that a sizable number of people were likely misdiagnosed with a common disease when they really have a rare one. The next part was amazing: They looked at sequencing

My brother sent me this excerpt from Carl Sagan’s 1995 Book “The Demon-Haunted World - Science as a Candle in the World”. Prescient, prophetic and erudite doesn’t do it justice. #Trumpism #MAGA #Pseudoscience

Some people say nanotechnology is not achievable. But it already exists - biology is nanotechnology. The bacterial flagellar motor is a perfect example. It’s a biological nanomachine, only a few dozen nanometers across, built from precisely arranged proteins that form a rotary

They call it “lunch shaming.” I call it cruelty. For 38 years, I watched it happen from my history classroom. Then, one Tuesday, I decided to become a quiet criminal. My name is Arthur Harrison. For nearly four decades, my world has been cinder block walls, the smell of old
