I’m trying a new experimental treatment for ME/CFS & would love to hear if anyone else has tried it: microdosing of GLP-1s. Experience has shown that people with autoimmune disease who take it for weight loss often see improvement in their underlying disease. Anyone tried it?

It's still a mystery why some people with plaque have heart attacks while others don't. But a new study found viridans streptococci (oral bacteria) formed biofilms in the plaque of 42% of sudden death victims. Chronic bacterial infection may contribute to heart attacks.

The benefit of Ozempic (semaglutide) for protection from major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) is independent of weight loss magnitude and baseline adiposity, likely related to the GLP-1 anti-inflammatory effect https://t.co/y44fRowTGi

🧵1/12 New preprint with @dbkell & team! We explore how inflammation, cell death, and loss of membrane lipid asymmetry together shape procoagulant surfaces that drive amyloidogenic microclotting, a unifying framework for thrombo-inflammation: https://t.co/FSKw31YsKx

Hypercoagulability, immunothrombosis, and protein misfolding are deeply interconnected processes that converge on cell membranes as central orchestrators of thrombo-inflammation. In health, membrane...

We are seeing lots of POTS these days. Reminder it can affect anyone (including professional athletes).
Kristaps Porzingis dealt with ‘POTS’ last postseason, per @FredKatz. “POTS, an autonomic condition that can dramatically increase a patients heart rate when standing up instead of spread horizontal… In his worst moments Porzingis’ heart rate could stabilize while laying down,

How many of the millions of children suffering with Long Covid will be brushed off as lazy or problematic? How many will be removed from their families? How many will be erroneously incarcerated? Marginalized kids & families are at greater risk for being targeted by the state.
