Proud to be on this paper. Check it out! Thanks @bigfatsurprise for leading on this!!

Intermittent fasting in Type 2 #Diabetes. Yep, it works vs. caloric restricted diets. #fasting #intermittentfasting jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

@NEJM yikes!!! shudder...scarier than most horror movies. how did she not scratch her ears out???

A woman with hypertension presented to the clinic with a 4-day history of abnormal sounds in her ear. On examination, a small spider was seen moving within the external auditory canal of the left ear. The molted exoskeleton of the spider was also present. nej.md/45CHWB0

👉Triglyceride-rich lipoprotein remnants, low-density lipoproteins, and risk of coronary heart disease: a UK Biobank study 🔓Open Access The strength of association of apoB with CHD risk is not uniform; rather, it depends on which particle the apoB resides; TRL/remnant particles appear to have an inherent atherogenicity that is substantially greater than that of LDL The implications of the present investigation and earlier findings are: (i) use of non-HDL-C as a single, aggregate marker of risk may not provide as accurate prediction of CHD risk as first thought since its component parts—TRL/remnant-C and LDL-C—appear to have differing quantita- tive associations with risk (ii) interventions targeted to regulate TRL/remnant lipoproteins may prove beneficial, especially when ad- dressing the residual TRL/remnant-associated risk in statin-treated patients Finally, there is a pressing need not only to develop more refined methods for assessment of remnant concentrations but also to improve the understanding of the molecular basis of the atherogenicity of this lipoprotein species academic.oup.com/eurheartj/arti…

Statins increase risk for Diabetes. This study in BMJ - suggest that rosuvastatin > atorvastatin in terms of risk. Why? who knows, but the risks exists. medpagetoday.com/cardiology/pre…

Bill Clinton had 8 exercise stress tests when he was in office and 'passed' each of them with flying colours. He then had a heart test that showed he need coronary artery bypass surgery. Want to know what test he had? 🧵👇 /1

@micaela_arneson Sure I’d be open to it.

@RobertOhMD I'm a journalist in the UK and working on a narrative podcast series about prediabetes-- I'd love to chat with you about it. DMs are open!

SNAP is so broken. Congress - do the right thing! “The fact that you can use SNAP to purchase a frozen, breaded chicken, but not a hot rotisserie chicken or a salad from a grocery store salad bar, frankly, makes no sense,” Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Ill.), said in a statement.

@lindy_lou_j And people wonder why we are skeptical and downright angry about the food industry and special interests

So let me get this straight. You can buy candy with SNAP benefits but not a rotisserie chicken?! 🤯 Am I understanding this right?

@chungk1031 We use Carestream. I bet there could be guest accounts set up that allows access to files.

We are still asked to “burn CDs” to share CT/MRI images with other hospitals. Surely there is a better way? Any takers? #MedTwitter

@DoctorTro So true Tro!

In medicine, if we lower your glucose by giving you an expensive medicine that makes you pee out sugar… this is good, it’s applauded by cardiologists. It’s considered “evidence based medicine” If we lower your glucose by eating less carbs… then your cardiologist will faint…

@pastoor_sara Agree. But which ones?

@BrianWiley_ Just crushed it. And no spike on blood glucose.

What's the most sugary thing you ate or drank over the weekend? What was the context - eating out, late night snack, having friends over...?

We live just a few miles south of Portland Oregon. This 1” hole disappears when our pup digs at it and reappears when left alone. What lives inside? Best guesses welcome, as we have no clue 😊

Omega-3s are popular as a supplement and I wanted to share my thoughts and go a bit into the evidence behind omega-3s. I wrote a review article in 2005 in the JABFM and this is an update to that article. #omega3 #nutrition #fishoil #wildsalmon #salmon robertohmd.com/2023/06/04/pra…

Cool blog looking at Exercise versus caloric restriction for visceral fat loss - which is better? - Spoiler alert - it’s #exercise! go.shr.lc/3mAyaPg

@Theholisticpsyc fascinating!

As much as people in the therapy world are against this, I do wonder if this would be the *only* way some people (specially anxious avoidant people) would feel comfortable actually talking about their problems. A lot of people feel deeply uncomfortable confiding in a stranger.

In a study released this week low carb diet was compared to a calorie controlled diet 2 interesting facts 1) the low carb diet did better for BMI, waist and fat mass 2) the low carb ATE MORE CALORIES let that sink in, energy balance model is dead ☠️
