@Tallowtwins Related clinical research on obstetric decision-making and neonatal outcomes adds important nuance to these conversations: Read more: 👉 azcareai.com/publications/d…

The cord around the baby’s neck is NOT a crisis. it’s biology doing what biology does. Nuchal cords happen in roughly 1 in 3 births. If it were “dangerous by default,” the human species wouldn’t have made it this far. Babies aren’t breathing air in the womb, they’re oxygenated through the cord. You can’t “strangle” a baby underwater, and you can’t strangle a baby in the womb. And yes, one of the reasons we SEE nuchal cords so often is because it keeps the cord close to the baby and out of the birth canal, which helps prevent cord prolapse (the real emergency). Nature isn’t stupid. It’s strategy. A cord around the neck is usually just… a cord around the neck, not a death sentence. Not an emergency by default. Not a guaranteed complication. Most of the time, it’s slipped off in seconds. The fear-based narrative around this is a lie that has stripped women of trust in birth physiology. Birth works. Always has.

@DrPatrick Related research on immune markers and cancer risk provides additional context on how early immune environments shape progression: Read more: 👉 azcareai.com/publications/c…

Evidence shows CIS and papillary bladder cancer are clonally linked. In QUILT-3.032, ANKTIVA plus BCG achieved 96% survival from bladder cancer at 3 years with durable cystectomy avoidance in patients with papillary disease alone. Median not yet reached! Now published in The Journal of Urology with editorials, demonstrating that immune restoration can prevent progression into muscle invasive disease and avoid the life changing effects of having the bladder removed. auajournals.org/doi/10.1097/JU…

@DocNavarrow You may find this study interesting: azcareai.com/publications/d…

🕵️‍♂️A 46-year-old immunocompetent man presents with subacute confusion and speech disturbance, later developing seizures. Initial work-up is unremarkable, but neurological status rapidly worsens. CSF PCR eventually identifies the pathogen. What is the most likely cause?

@IterIntellectus Huge milestone for DBS. Targeting new movement circuits shows how neuromodulation is shifting toward real functional restoration. This progress builds on years of collaborative DBS research. 👉 azcareai.com/publications/p…

holy shit a team at EPFL in switzerland just published a paper where they restored walking in people with spinal cord injuries using deep brain stimulation (DBS). this isn’t just nerves reconnecting. they targeted a new brain region for movement the results are insane 1/

@foundmyfitness OSA affects more than cognition. Intermittent hypoxia also drives arrhythmias and CV risk. Brain–heart link matters. Study: azcareai.com/publications/a…

About 1 in 4 men and 1 in 15 women have obstructive sleep apnea, yet most remain undiagnosed, untreated, and unaware of its impact on their brains and bodies. Untreated severe sleep apnea raises cognitive decline risk by 26%, impairs executive function and memory, and is recognized as a significant Alzheimer’s disease risk factor. It accelerates neuronal aging and neurodegeneration by: • Disrupting sleep architecture, reducing restorative deep (slow wave) and REM sleep, and causing lighter, fragmented sleep. • Triggering intermittent hypoxia, brief oxygen deprivation episodes that drive oxidative stress and inflammation. The good news? It’s treatable with CPAP therapy, mandibular devices, or lifestyle changes like targeted weight loss, which can reverse symptoms and protect cognitive health long-term.

@mhp_guy Outcomes in autism care depend on more than therapy alone. A scoping review shows navigation & care coordination shape family experience. youtube.com/watch?v=B63agO…

Your regular reminder that a small handful of autism clinics sold for $64m - a 32x run rate multiple. $2m profit 64 patients $64m exit 23 months from founding to exit New locations broke even in 1.5 months These autism clinics and deals aren't nearly as controversial as you'd think: - Insurance usually pays for it - Parents are largely happy - Business owner and employees do well ABA Therapy is life changing for these kids. My good friend is an M&A advisor that worked this deal

@jan_murray A scoping review shows care navigation was never meant to replace clinical judgment. Role clarity matters to avoid non-clinical gatekeeping: youtube.com/watch?v=B63agO…

The first time I was refused care from my GP - due to a clinical decision made by a receptionist, I did a bit of a deep dive into NHS guidance on ‘care navigation’. Using the Wayback Machine, I compared earlier versions of the NHS guidance. And noticed the earliest editions were crystal clear that ‘care navigation’ is not the same as clinical decision-making. But over time, that language has quietly disappeared from guidance updates. That shift in wording reflects a significant change - from protecting patients against non-clinical gatekeeping - to normalising it as “efficient access.” This was just before my breast cancer operation, so I’d need to dig all that research out again. But I really should write something about it. What’s depressing is that no one seems to be covering these kinds of stories anymore. A decade ago, when I was writing for the Guardian, this is exactly the kind of piece I’d have pitched - and I feel sure would have been commissioned.

@PanCAN A scoping review highlights how patient navigation functions map directly to OT competencies, critical for oncology care: youtube.com/watch?v=B63agO…

@UN @UN_Women Early detection saves lives. 💗 At AZcare, we stand with everyone affected by breast cancer and advocate for awareness, prevention, and regular screenings. Together, we can change the stats.

@bryan_johnson we see that thriving in the age of AI means redefining purpose beyond productivity. Those who can find meaning in uncertainty will lead the next evolution.

Will you thrive or die with AGI? Take this test. AI is advancing fast. Faster than any technology shift in history. Electricity took 46 years to reach mass adoption. The smartphone, 16. ChatGPT reached 100 million in two months.  Studies show that humans handle incremental change well but struggle with exponential change because our brains have evolved for linear prediction. We’re probing at this situation when we ask: will AI take my job? No one knows the answer to this question. What we do know: change is happening and it could be more radical than we can imagine. The question is: will you be able to adapt? Here is a thought experiment that will score you on adaptability. Score low and you will struggle, score high and you may thrive. Here we go. Imagine your future existence rests on three principles: + Nowhere to go + Nothing to do + No one to become That’s it. That’s your life. Most people feel psychological vertigo when hearing this because it violates the evolutionary code of our species. Humans are a striving species. We go places. We build things.  We become someone. Our entire civilization and self identity is built on the premise that meaning comes from becoming. Our self-worth is our usefulness. If your response to this possible future is “No thanks, I’d rather die.” You score low on adaptability and will struggle with change. If you feel discomfort but are also curious and are open to experimenting, you score high on adaptability and are more likely to thrive. History shows that adaptability, not intelligence, determines survival.

@WHO At AZcare, we support WHO’s call for inclusive, rights-based care that amplifies voices of lived experience.

#MentalHealth is shaped by more than just the mind. Social factors like poverty & housing also affect mental health. WHO mental health guidance provides all countries with practical tools to strengthen policies & services, ensures people with lived experience have a voice & promotes rights-based care bit.ly/470TLDF

Today, and every day, we stand for mental health because care begins with compassion.. At AZcare, we believe empathy is the foundation of every innovation. Technology should listen, support, and connect and we are working on that every day. 💚 #WorldMentalHealthDay #AZcare
