@drol007 @GeoffreyMunn1 I'll take it, whatever!

@ProfRobHoward @GeoffreyMunn1 Is this the -*impact* they speak of in all those applications nice write ✍🏻 up

I don't often get mentioned in reviews of Royal Academy exhibitions! Thanks to the wonderful @GeoffreyMunn1 for his generous comments.

@Jennife10651535 Excellent news that you and he are happy with his care. You did such a good job keeping him at home for so long but this took a toll on you both. It still seems wrong to me that people have to pay for "social care".

One thing about visiting a care.home so frequently....I shan't be sorry if I have to live in one

@pash22 @cesar_vogado Oh dear.

@Jennife10651535 Up to a point, she loves it.

@ProfRobHoward Does Layla flourish or droop in the heat?

The crowds on Holkham beach this morning.

@pash22 @nuwandiss @MindfulRussell @NIHRresearch @CambridgeBRC @ODDESSI_UCL Sadly, my personal experience has been that negative trials are more difficult to get published than positive ones and this often leads to delay in publication. I should say that this is the only reason I have to suspect that ODDESSI may have not had a positive result.

@ProfRobHoward @nuwandiss Yup, I've been hearing that excuse for the past 2 years and it's becoming rather trite, TBH. Perhaps Russell @MindfulRussell and the trial's main sponsors @NIHRresearch & @CambridgeBRC will be able to enlighten us on the outcomes of the @ODDESSI_UCL .

💯 it’s not just about 💰 It’s about ideology This stuff is seen as progressive Which is cool But not if the evidence base is 💩 (See also Trieste style community models)

@MalleyGlass @RosyPosy_kitteh She’s driven by impulse as much as anything.

@ProfRobHoward @RosyPosy_kitteh She seemingly loves to be the center of at least human attention. I’m not tied to psychodynamic thinking otherwise I’d be wondering if she’s identified with the hare.

Crossing the field behind our house just now, Layla ran straight past this hare who stayed ducked down, even when I was within 3 metres of him.

@MalleyGlass @RosyPosy_kitteh Just spent the last few minutes stuck under the sofa and needed rescuing.

@ProfRobHoward @RosyPosy_kitteh But seems to be a very happy dog.

@MalleyGlass @RosyPosy_kitteh Something like that…

@ProfRobHoward @RosyPosy_kitteh GAD?

@MalleyGlass @RosyPosy_kitteh She would have wanted to give chase but would have held back from getting too close. She’s terrified of everything.

@ProfRobHoward @RosyPosy_kitteh Would she have really cared that much? Maybe the prey drive is less intense or variable for some terriers.

@RosyPosy_kitteh Yes - a great book.

@ProfRobHoward I would recommend the book Raising Hare!

@RosyPosy_kitteh When we came back past the point, she found the smell but it had gone.

@ProfRobHoward Wow not even smelt it?!

@RosyPosy_kitteh Not tame but they have an impressive confidence in their invisibility. Layla (who is pretty observant) didn’t suspect a thing as she walked past.

@ProfRobHoward So amazing I worked on an island clinic in the backwater estuary Rob and we used to have wild hare and pheasants being really tame.

Maternity care currently puts emphasis on having your choice of music or smelly oil during labour... not on ensuring you can make informed medical decisions... the result is predictably deadly Great article from @Ella_M_Whelan

In just 3 yrs, Functional Neurological Disorder has gained national clinical pathways, NICE rehabilitation guidance & recognition as an NHS neurology subspecialty. Now it’s time to build on existing services so the tens of thousands living with FND can access timely MDT care #FND

After Jauhar et al showed how leaky your umbrella review was ; you and your fellow authors concluded 👇 1️⃣“We would agree that many brain processes, including the serotonin system, likely play a complex, though poorly understood, role in emotion and behaviour, including depression." 2️⃣ "We did not include reviews of circulating tryptophan described by Jauhar, and Maes and Almulla...." You dismissed circulating tryptophan, even though it directly influences central serotonin synthesis. This omission is critical, as evidence shows reduced plasma tryptophan in especially in unmedicated individuals. Selective reporting! 3️⃣ "Although Jauhar et al. and Jacobsen are correct to point out that there are 5HT1A heteroreceptors as well as autoreceptors..." Your admission highlights an oversimplification in your original review by ignoring the role of a complex system in favour of a reductionist argument. 4️⃣"Some abnormalities in the serotonergic system identified after long-term antidepressant treatment are consistent with adaptive changes that reduce the potency of serotonin."
