So many women labor beautifully at home and then everything slows down the moment they get to the hospital. Contractions space out, weaken, or stall completely. Then they're told they've "failed to progress." There's a real physiological reason this happens....
1. A #flu update: 14 more kids have died from flu this season, per #CDC. This brings the 2025-26 pediatric flu death tally to 115 so far but it's likely to continue to rise. At this point last year the...

At this point, it's very reasonable for a patient to ask their doctor, "Have you used clinical AI to help optimize your diagnosis and treatment plan for me?"
On this week's #WTHealth pod: @LaurenWeberHP, @sangerkatz, and @AliceOllstein on vaccine changes, NIH funding, the ACA and more. Plus @DrewAltman kicks off our new series, "How Would You Fix It?" https://t.co/GYkk11Hv6L
This is a recurrent fiasco. Health care companies that now the serious risk of their device or drug but keep selling it and do not acknowledge the hazard. Until so many people are harmed. Today's front page @nytimes by @katie_thomas @bostonsci...
The US lets people sell their blood plasma, creating a multibillion-dollar industry (70% of global supply, 62.5M liters donated, $6.2B in exports) that saves countless lives and gives Americans a safe way to make a little cash (thus reducing their...

caveat here is that it was routine when Prasad ran CBER (at least 4 overrules in Prasad's 10 mo. tenure) but it didn't/doesn't still seem to be happening elsewhere in FDA

Good news for America’s children. ACIP was devoid of vaccine expertise and made harmful and ideologically driven recommendations that went against pediatric medical science. Hopefully we can rebuild pubic confidence in vaccines despite their efforts to undermine it, but it...
Some experts do not think OpenClaw is relevant to AI in healthcare. They are wrong. OpenClaw represents us phase shifting in the way we relate to AI systems again. We are moving past promting a chatbot to ask a question so...
If you've had a kidney stone, you've been advised that the most important thing to prevent another bout is to increase hydration. Now a randomized trial of hydration in over 1600 participants showed no benefit, despite evidence of increase...

Jane Grogan from $BIIB again, on the fundamental challenge of drug discovery: do you believe what early experiments tell you? "We need to understand when [models] can be predictive and when they help at answering our hypothesis... “If you...
$BIIB’s Jane Grogan on the impact of China on biotech innovation. “There's three times more PhDs that have been given last year in China than in the US. ... That's a lot of bright young things out there who are going...
This definitely looks like a cardiac safety signal at the higher doses. The GLP-1's all slightly increase pulse rate as a starting point.
$BMY chief scientist Robert Plenge: says there is “a joke” drug developers often repeat. “It's an overnight sensation a decade in the making. These things can actually be going on for a very long time, and then suddenly the field catches...

Maybe you heard that a federal judge ruled against @SecKennedy's attack on the CDC vaccine schedule. Always great to win a battle, but we are still at war. The damage already done can’t be repaired. @JessicaMalaty & I break it all...
I read from an influencer nurse that measles is “going around”. She is selling vitamin A supplements. Having measles is not inevitable. Especially if a population is vaccinated. And that has been proven in the US for the past 30...
This won't show up in any market data, but it's a profound hollowing-out and weakening of America. "Nearly one in 10 people who had Affordable Care Act plans last year dropped health insurance altogether, after premium costs rose sharply" https://t.co/LfNP8wRTD1
Many interesting conversations ahead today at #STATBreakthrough — including on CMS and FDA, both at critical junctures: https://t.co/aThGw2QEfw
Unlocking the full potential of cancer care starts with connected data. Proud of how Oracle is helping to bring adaptive, evidence-based oncology insights directly to the point of care.
Multiple vaccines offer benefits beyond protecting the vaccinated individual from the disease the vaccine targets. Some protect fetuses in the womb, some protect people who are immunocompromised, some protect seniors. As vax rates fall, these benefits are threatened. https://t.co/zmiws8gAnw
Let's look at how the FDA is treating $SRPT and $QURE differently. The FDA grants accelerated approval to Amondys and Vyondys to treat Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Sarepta conducts a post-marketing confirmatory study that fails to show a benefit for either...

Value-based care was supposed to save healthcare. In some cases, it created a new incentive: getting rid of the sickest patients. In a recent episode of The Podcast by KevinMD, Dr. Jonathan Bushman reveals the dark side of healthcare analytics. He...
Yet another account that does not know the law. Pills for terminations cannot be obtained from the NHS after 10 weeks gestation. The vanishingly small number of cases of drug-induced late termination involved pills illegally obtained from a foreign online...
Please stop telling people with osteoporosis not to lift anything heavy... I've heard it from docs, PTs, Trainers, etc... This might seem protective... but it's not. This risk calculation... A hip fracture in an older adult carries a one-year...
I personally think that if you’re a doctor building a business in healthcare, it doesn’t mean you “let go” of clinical practice. If anything, my co-founder and I feel an even greater responsibility to stay at the forefront of weight loss...
