📢 Adherence to anti-#obesity medications and engagement in intensive #behavioral programs are both key to sustained and categorical #weightloss. @ObesityWeek @ObesitySociety @RamiBailony Read more ⬇️ healio.com/news/endocrino…

Pilot Ragheed Ahmed Al-Tatari, who refused to bomb Hama in the 1980s, has been released today after being arrested at the age of 27.

THIS IS HISTORIC: "The city of Tartous has been liberated, we are here with our people from all sects, Christians, Alawites, Sunnis, Druze and Ismailis, the Syrian people are 1, to our people in Tartous, work with us to build our country, we will present a model to be proud of".

"hey mate, what are you up to? Wanna ride the giant Assad sled later?" #Syria

For Western media especially @CNN @BBCNews, can you please focus on the celebrations and joy of the Syrian people? This is our Berlin Wall moment. Don’t ruin it by mentioning ISIS, Al-Qaeda, and Iran every other word. Syrians hate ISIS, and extremism that were created by the regime that has fallen. Don’t repeat cliches and rhetorics of ignorant policy-makers and politicians who care less about aspirations of people yearning for freedoms that we enjoy. The Syrian people are our friends, your friends, and we should be their friends. Focus on hope and the joy of Syrian women and children. Would you please?

Moammar has been searching for his brother for 39 years, arrested by Syrian soldiers in Lebanon when he was 18. He hadn’t heard anything from him since. Until Thursday, when his brother emerged from Hama prison as an old man, 39 years later. theguardian.com/world/2024/dec…

He’s done. #Assad fled. #Syria is free, after 54 years of brutal tyranny. Extraordinary!

If you still believe what's happening in Syria is merely a fight between Islamists vs a government, you've never been more wrong. Today, Daraa, Suwayda, Homs, Deir Ezzor, Raqqa, Hama, Idlib, & Aleppo are all rebelling against Assad. His forces are being ousted across the country!

Syrians never gave up. After 13+ years of #Assad’s “burn the country” campaign, they never gave up. No matter how many governments & commentators told them it was over & they needed to “accept reality,” they never gave up.

standing room only at @RamiBailony re real world long term AOM (1st and 2nd gen) vs intensive behav. Interesting findings: short term AOM use <48 weeks not impactful. ‘focus on the relationships’ - AOMs a tool to help people successfully make behav changes #OW2024 @ObesityWeek

@chrissyfarr Yes, health tech enabled services that have not built out any differentiating technology are over capitalized but pure health software is very undercapitalized given the super fragmented and regulated industry. You need vast capital to overcome fragmentation and scale.

One of the top reasons companies die in health tech is overcapitalization. I can’t tell you how many growth stage founders I’ve talked to lately who told me they wished they’d raised less and at a lower valuation. Huge problem, rarely discussed.

@MichaelAlbertMD Of which the benefits of the last one are far less then those found with the first two.

If you operate your life based on outlier events, then: --you would pass on bariatric surgery bc of the infinitesimally small risk of death --you wouldn't take a GLP1 bc of the infinitesimally small risk of ileus --you wouldn't get in a car bc of the small risk of a crash...

Time lapse of #ACC24 expo- getting to the @enara_health booth 3804. Learn how to integrate GLP-1s into your cardiology practice with our 360 degree wrap around care platform.

You are not what you look ... People who are weekend warriors have more visceral fat but less whole body + subcutaneous fat than people who exercise regularly. Its just goes to show that weight+fat is not created equally. Maybe its time to make DEXA scans part of everyday care.

@sulsal_h @RebeccaCoelius @erinbrodwin @Peterson_HTI @sulsal_h I agree with you and in fact I think many companies in the study have not done so - but my point is there is no incentive/upside to justify that investment. Value based care is all about cost savings - so your always limited by current spend which stifles innovation.

@RamiBailony @RebeccaCoelius @erinbrodwin @Peterson_HTI My point is it’s on digital health solutions to demonstrate that either the outcomes are clinically and statistically better than usual care or they are much more cost effective. Saying it is doesn’t make it so. You have to prove it like pharma companies have to.

@sulsal_h @RebeccaCoelius @slotkinjr @erinbrodwin @Peterson_HTI @sulsal_h my argument is that upside for service innovation is non-existent even if they show better outcomes. They don’t get a fee schedule based on R&D investments which is why we don’t innovate when it some services and behavioral change.

@RamiBailony @RebeccaCoelius @slotkinjr @erinbrodwin @Peterson_HTI That’s not true. First of all most countries (except the US) measure drugs outcomes vs. cost and based on that make a decision to approve it. Second of al In the US there are lots of drugs that get approved with very mediocre outcomes that don’t get used by doctors.
