@atrupar As my PhD advisor in epidemiology used to say (and had printed in a baseball hat he wore around the office): WHAT’S THE DENOMINATOR?!?!?

Ron Johnson: "In 56 years of tracking Tylenol, there have been 39,540 death reported to FAIRS. That's 706 per year. For ivermectin -- remember the one that they said was so dangerous? -- in 29 years reporting, 493 deaths, 17 a year."

A new report shows that not getting enough physical activity is linked to $192 billion in U.S. health care costs. Being physically active can save money and is one of the best things a person can do to improve their health. #ActivePeople doi.org/10.1177/089011…

@MMTLPtrch @fmfclips Because its never that simple. See Rothman's Sufficient Cause Model in "Causes" (Am J Epidemiol. 1976;104(6):587–592), and more contemporary comments from VanderWeele (Am J Epidemiol. 2017 May 23;185(11):1041–1043.)

@fmfclips EXPLAIN RUNNERS dying of CANCER!

The shear force of blood flow generated during vigorous-intensity exercise kills circulating tumor cells When you work out, the increased blood flow creates higher shear stress in your blood vessels, making it harder for circulating tumor cells to survive These are the very cells responsible for spreading cancer to vital organs By reducing their chances of survival, exercise may play a crucial role in preventing deadly metastasis

@Kevin_Vu_ @FortWorthReport @CamiloDiazJr @Kevin_Vu_ Would like to ask you a few more questions about this. I am an epidemiologist and researcher and interested in the health effects of the bitcoin mining operation. Please reach out gregory.knell@unthsc.edu

A contentious Bitcoin mine down in Granbury has left residents nearby frustrated and concerned over the Bitcoin mines’ noise, which they link as the cause for their health issues. 🧵/1 For @FortWorthReport 📷: @CamiloDiazJr fortworthreport.org/2024/09/16/nor…

@BioLayne @SBakerMD @paulsaladinomd the results don’t support what is included in the abstract (“higher levels of TC…were associated with reaching 100 years”) Results were null for TC: TC 5.9-6.4: reference TC 6.5-7.1: OR=1.05(0.86-1.29) TC >=7.2: OR=1.00(0.82-1.23) @sbakermd do you know how to interpret OR?

Because @SBakerMD & @paulsaladinomd will outright dismiss strong epidemiology repeatedly when it doesn’t fit their narrative Paul even has a video titled “epidemiology is garbage” But as soon as a weak epi study supports their narrative it’s the best study ever HYPOCRITICAL

@william_m_adams Disgusting. This is not what youth sports is about. If you believe it is, then you have no place teaching or coaching kids. No excuse for this.

Activities such as this hold no place in sport. I hope these coaches are fired and removed from any and all opportunities to coach again in the future.

The new Physical Activity Guidelines Midcourse Report is here! It highlights ways you can support #PhysicalActivity among #OlderAdults so they can achieve the benefits of staying active. Check it out and share it with your networks: health.gov/our-work/nutri…

Came all the way from Texas!!! #NCAAMLAX

May is National Physical Fitness and Sports Month. Gregory Knell, PhD, is currently leading a clinical trial investigating different treatments, including light exercise, on recovery from sport-related concussions. Read the full article on this trial here: uth.edu/news/story/cli…

@DrDavidMarquez It’s relatively easy to build your own with bulk elastic cut to size and simple push clips. Pro tip: be sure to burn ends of the straps to prevent fraying.

PA researchers: Best place to buy good (less expensive than ActiGraph store) accelerometer belts? 💃

@NeurologyToday 1 is ChatGPT

We asked ChatGPT to create an abstract about a specific study with background, methods, results, & conclusions plus measurements. Then we compared it to one by researchers published in a neurology journal. Can you tell the difference? Comment with your pick!

@CoachFranklinTX @MikeClayNFL Can’t help you, but I’ll come have some eggs with you if you lose.

Honored to present at the Spanish Obesity Societies @SociedadSeedo 18th National Conference on “The Importance of Physical Activity and Exercise During Childhood”. Excellent science, food, venue, and people!! Thank you for the invitation!

Wow. If this doesn’t give you goosebumps, I don’t know what to tell you.

@Dr_ESoltero I WILL CHEW YOUR MEAT!!!

this is how I pretend to catch up on all the current literature...

@jamesheathers @sTeamTraen Ok, I may continue to sound naïve with this question. But one of those journals was Elsevier. I thought the larger publishers didn’t have journals with questionable tactics?

TIL that for a few hundred dollars you can buy yourself authorship of a peer-reviewed article. There are dozens to choose from. What not buy this as a gift for your parent, significant other, retiring colleague, or cat? schoolandcollegelistings.com/IQ/Ad-Diwaniya…
