Interesting. This means they confer some form of evolutionary advantage.
This is a neuroscientific model of a near-death experience. 🧵1/11

RT @ChrisMurphyCT: Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse….

Advanced blood-based biomarkers will change the way the diagnostic apparatus defines pathology, and ultimately, the human body. My article in Frontiers explores the consequences of these new technologies through the gaze of Foucault.

And so the sprint to delete USAID on grounds of waste and ideological bias also sent its own bigger message: that soft power is not really power at all, only a shackle restricting the exercise of the harder and more old fashioned kind.

Confirmed! Grimes is a Hegelian.
I disagree, I think we haven't yet discovered god. Quantum physics and such things make a higher power seem very real, even if it's not yet conscious or it's mind is literally ours - an unintelligent designer slowly self assembling into an intelligent one.

"after hospitals were acquired by private-equity firms, Medicare patients were more likely to suffer falls and contract bloodstream infections; another study found that if private equity acquired a nursing home its residents became eleven per cent more likely to die.".

CADASIL was the disease that the main character in last year's 'Fall of the house of Usher" suffered from.
A 59 year old patient is brought to clinic by her family for cognitive decline. They want to start her on lecanemab . She has a history of hypertension and migraine. On exam she has mild executive, attention, and memory impairment. This is her imaging. What would you do?

This is VITAL. GLP1 agonists would sink Medicare.
Unless Medicare demands that Big Pharma substantially reduces the prices for anti-obesity drugs, Medicare premiums for all seniors will skyrocket. We cannot allow Medicare and Medicaid to simply be a cash cow for Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly.

Our negotiated drugs are STILL wildly more expensive that other countries despite the IRA. Smh 🤦♂️.
US taxpayers need to stop subsidizing Pharma corporate profits: Medicare pays 2-4x more for meds than any other developed country pays; this remains true even after the Inflation Reduction Act allowed Medicare to negotiate prices of top-selling drugs.

More people in SF need to understand this.
Important to remember what Obama had to say about Silicon Valley getting involved in government

A great thread describing the modern process of disease mongering.
From pre-diabetes to Alzheimer’s disease in the cognitively normal, there is an ongoing push to label healthy individuals as sick. Who benefits from this and who is harmed? One of my favorite med journalism articles of 2024 dives into the debate. 🧵 1/4.

Can a blood test predict Alzheimer’s before symptoms even begin? . In my latest article for @statnews, I explore how these promising tests could change diagnosis and treatment.
The ability to possibly detect Alzheimer’s disease before symptoms emerge using blood-based biomarkers has introduced new clinical and ethical challenges.
