Dr. Michael Peluso on LC therapies: “we need to move beyond single therapy treatments for Long COVID and begin to piece together combinations targeting the different biological mechanisms of Long COVID. Kind of hit this disease from multiple angles to try to get people feeling better.”

PolyBio’s goal surrounding clinical trials at this Friday’s upcoming symposium: creating better pathways to conduct Long Covid trials. Check out these upcoming presentations that focus on intelligent design & advanced data analysis to drive forward treatment discovery. polybio.org/fall-2025-symp…

Wow. 👀

@aglorios Arg ... thinking of you

Can’t get ahold of my doctors, about to head into a weekend of work. Sometimes the only thing in the world to do is run. 🏃‍♀️

Medicine and public health have added three decades to the human lifespan. Vaccination alone produced 40% of the reduction in child deaths. And now a disturbed and unqualified man driven by crackpot theories is destroying the foundations of this work, including CDC.

EDITORIAL: Has CA learned anything from the rise of Trump? We can’t even pass common-sense housing bills, & Dem lawmakers are fighting over whether to require kids learn evidence-based reading skills. Folks, we trail Mississippi & Alabama in early literacy.sfchronicle.com/opinion/editor…

@aglorios This is insane. It makes no sense and it's cruel. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this crap, AG.

Getting radiation therapy this week to zap the .8 cm tumor on my lower back and my doc told old me today after my first treatment that my insurance denied the claim. He said they wanted to radiate the whole area like they did in the 1970s bc it’s cheaper. He laughed out loud at the idea.

Great turn out for #SaveOurSciences HIV funding rally at #CROI2025. Speakers starting soon in Yerba Buena Gardens.

The science is abundantly clear: Mifepristone is overwhelmingly safe and effective, whether provided in-clinic, via telehealth, or in a local pharmacy. Any attempts to roll back access have nothing to do with safety. This is about limiting abortion access. [🧵]

For years, John Fleischman carried the journal of his late mentor, who died from HIV/AIDS. He finally found the perfect home for it at the AIDS History Project. trib.al/ZIqATqr

Even the experts didn't think the rates would stay the same, let alone go up: New study finds abortions have increased between 2020 and the end of 2023, including in nearly every state that has banned abortion: nytimes.com/2024/10/22/ups…

About #PCOS: “The experience women describe is that they are often met with confusion or brushed off,” @UCSF's Dr. @HgHuddleston told @WomensHealthMag. “Even if they are given a diagnosis, they are not given much of an explanation about it.” womenshealthmag.com/health/a622243…

This is beyond appalling.

Over 3x's more people than expected will develop #atrialfibrillation, a rapid, irregular heartbeat that can lead to stroke or death. In the first national study in 20+ years, @UCSFCardiology shows how widespread it is. @UCSFHospitals #AFibAwarenessMonth tiny.ucsf.edu/VkYwRJ
