Interested in making the world a better place with personal opinions that may not matter. My medical degree opened my eyes to how much knowledge I lack.

@JoshRainerGold The denominator is important. Knowing the actual number of applicants rather than % would be helpful. Matriculation would also be good to know.

Undo?
I assure you that there is zero discussion of undoing the anti-white, anti-Asian, and anti-male preference among anyone making these decisions at medical
schools.

Do you have any idea how long it’s going to take to undo the damage of this?

@5_utr @f2harrell @stephensenn Each company has a "black box" for their NGS assay with no predictive studies. Doesn't this imply that one's company NGS assay is not comparable to another's?
Ask an oncologist which NGS assay is the best. The answers have nothing to do with outcomes (fast TAT, collabs, etc).

@f2harrell How often do we hear at tumor board, especially on stage IV disease, “I will order next generation sequencing on the biopsy to find a target” as if the tumor were a single-lock mechanism waiting for a single key?
I am convinced @stephensenn is spot on:

@5_utr @f2harrell Isn't GATA-3 just a marker of breast or urothelial origin? It's used as a prognostic indicator?

@grok @DrNeilStone @sib313 @grok Did the FDA allow Paxlovid in vaccinated patients even though there was no RCT showing reduction in risk?
English

No RCTs demonstrate Paxlovid reduces severe COVID-19 outcomes specifically in vaccinated adults; the EPIC-SR trial showed no benefit for symptom resolution or hospitalization risk in vaccinated individuals with mild disease. The pivotal EPIC-HR RCT primarily enrolled unvaccinated high-risk patients early in the pandemic. For children under 18, no RCTs exist for severe disease reduction; Pfizer's pediatric study was a single-arm trial. FDA fully approved Paxlovid for high-risk adults with mild-to-moderate COVID-19, while authorizing it under EUA for high-risk patients aged 12+ weighing at least 40 kg.

@simonmaechling Wouldn't observational studies that influence dietary recommendations benefit from multi verse analysis in a truly Open Science setting?

@misskhan @JonathanRoseD @bryan_johnson Wouldn't that be the absolute opposite? Less pressure and less oxygen.

@MarkRobert_ @Antonius_Bloc_k @JonathanRoseD @bryan_johnson Do you get 2.0 ATA, or is it less...1.5 ATA? Longevity benefits vs. Neurologic benefits may differ based on the amount of pressure. Would love to hear updates!

@Path4People This patient must have a known Dx of CVID. If undiagnosed and with diarrhea, CVID bx's look like celiac, except no plasma cells. Also... better look for Giardia in all cases, but particularly CVID patients.

@Path4People Nipple duct adenoma. In general, be VERY careful calling anything malignant in the nipple. I've seen a mastectomy for an adenoma Dx'd as DCIS. Diagnosing pathologist was adamant that it was DCIS.

4. Eat Your Protein (Every Meal Counts)
If you're trying to build strength, lose fat, or just feel more energized, protein is your best friend. A great starting point is 1 gram of protein per pound of your desired body weight.
Rather than overthinking it, aim to include a solid source of protein in every meal — chicken, beef, eggs, fish, Greek yogurt, protein shakes, etc.
Protein helps you stay fuller longer, supports lean muscle, and improves recovery. Don’t overcomplicate it, just make it a habit. Remember, small changes consistently over time will help build that habit.

5 Simple Tips to Optimize Your Life (And Actually Feel Better Doing It)...
If you’re someone who’s trying to do it all — work, family, fitness, life — it can feel overwhelming. But building a stronger, healthier version of yourself doesn’t have to be complicated. Small, intentional actions every day can have a massive impact over time.
Here are five simple, effective tips to help you optimize your life so you can show up stronger — mentally, physically, and emotionally.
1. Prioritize Your Sleep (Seriously)
We’ve all heard it: “Get your 8 hours.” But let’s be real — sleep is often the first thing we sacrifice when life gets busy. Aim for 7–8 hours of quality sleep each night. Your body needs that time to recover, recharge, and rebuild. If you're training hard, working long hours, or constantly on the go, sleep isn't just helpful, it's essential.
Lack of rest affects your focus, mood, recovery, hormones, and even your appetite. You can’t pour from an empty cup and sleep is how you refill it. I will speak from experience, if I'm skimping on my sleep, my cognitive function starts to slip and I know it's time to put more priority on my sleep. If you are someone who is only getting 5-6 hours of sleep, aim to increase that by 15-30 minutes. Focus on small adjustments and changes vs trying to jump 2-3 hours.

@WittenBippens @jsm2334 @calleymeans Wait...you wouldn't give a newborn the hepatitis B vaccine if the mother had hepatitis B?
English

@jsm2334 @calleymeans Oh no! Newborn would be unprotected from sexually transmitted diseases like Hepatitis B?
Buddy, that points to a whole different, much darker problem.

@demillz84 @efb_1 @jsm2334 @calleymeans How would you know a vaccine works (efficacy) without running a trial?
If you know the Timberwolves will win the NBA title, why would you bet on the Nuggets?

@rebecca_vo15179 @den36418986796 @calleymeans What are you saying? They will intentionally expose the control group to a concentrated amount of virus or bacteria?
Did they do that with the COVID vax, or did they allow for environmental exposure?
English

@den36418986796 @calleymeans So here is the real issue. To test a placebo vaccine you have to knowingly expose them to the disease.
Hence the alarm bells sounding, that is unethical science.
