Could low-dose naltrexone be a game-changer for LongC0VID? ➡️Preliminary observational evidence from this systematic review and meta-analysis indicates that low-dose naltrexone (LDN) may meaningfully improve fatigue, brain fog, pain, sleep quality, and daily functioning in patients with longC0VID, ➡️Effect sizes were moderate to large,🤔 ➡️However, the current evidence is of low certainty due to the absence of randomized controlled trials. ‼️So, given the global burden of longC0VID and LDN’s accessibility and low cost, high-quality well-powered RCT research is urgently needed!! #LongC0VID #LDN #LongC0vidTreatment bmjopen.bmj.com/content/16/7/e…

Children's hospital admissions and ER visits for asthma go up 4.8% per 10 ug/m3 increase in *short-term* exposure to PM2.5. NYC baseline is roughly 10 ug/m3, and today is forecasted to be 125 ug/m3, so it's a ~50% increased risk. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27499163/

Why do some people lose substantial weight with GLP-1-based medications while others see more modest results? A Mayo Clinic study offers a potential answer by identifying a distinct biological subtype of obesity that responds especially well to tirzepatide, a medication that mimics two naturally occurring hormones involved in appetite and blood sugar regulation, moving the field closer to precision medicine for obesity.

This is presented by NYC as an advancement in legionnaires response, but it's not. Publicly naming every building with even 1 cfu/ml, **VIA PCR**, is theater; 84% of cooling towers will have "detectable" legionella via PCR, per a study by CDC on this. And, *as they say right in this quote*, the best and fastest approach is simply to test and boost the disinfectant ("...already an effective measure"). A bigger problem is that there is no plan for on-going surveillance and requirements regarding disinfection and testing. Legionella come right back, so a temporary "cleaning" doesn't do anything if a regular inspection and review of disinfection isn't part of the plan. So when they say here that "the full cleaning and disinfection reduce the risk that any living legionella bacteria...will grow back," they are incorrect.

Your period could be telling you something you don't expect. Heavy menstrual bleeding could be the first sign of a bleeding disorder, yet women still wait an average of 14-16 years for a diagnosis. A new report aims to improve care for women. Learn more: cle.clinic/4fffImJ

With next to no hard clinical endpoints available, this has bs written all over it.

How do you get four fierce pharma competitors to co-found a company together? In 2020, @pfizer, @AstraZeneca, @Merck, and @tevapharm did exactly that, with the goal of exploring AI 3 years before @OpenAI's @ChatGPTapp existed. Here's the story behind @AionLabs, and why its own leadership says it couldn't happen today 🧵

Two coworkers each eat a slice of pizza at eleven at night. One had an ordinary Tuesday. The other spent it grinding through back-to-back deadlines, jaw clenched since breakfast. Same clock. Their guts are not the same. The study behind that claim never tested everyone who eats late. It looked at people who took in more than a quarter of their daily calories after 9 p.m. while also carrying high stress. That group was one and a half to two and a half times more likely to develop constipation or diarrhea, with a measurably less diverse gut microbiome, the kind researchers call dysbiosis. The lead researcher's own read on her data: late eating by itself did not drive that pattern. Stress did the real damage, and eating late just made it worse. The finding was presented at a medical conference this spring and has not yet been published in a peer-reviewed journal. It says something real about stress and timing together, not a curfew for your fork.

When emerging evidence challenges an #FND diagnosis, the patient should come first, not the diagnosis. Better testing, thorough differential diagnosis, and a willingness to reconsider help patients. Defending an FND label at all costs does not. Put people before diagnoses.
