I was interviewed about a study of GH001, vaporized 5-MeO-DMT, for treatment-resistant depression. I commented that, while promising and encouraging, the thing that popped out to me was the almost complete lack of placebo response in the placebo group. Even...

It’s not even April fools yet and people are still making posts against vaccines and GLP-1 meds.

Perimenopause is not a gynecologic problem. It’s a cardiovascular turning point, and we’ve been treating it like a nuisance symptom. In fact, I’ve been teaching this in a deeper way lately, and the response has been eye-opening. The most dangerous...
Since I'm teaching misinformation today, here are some "fun" facts from a 2021 research article published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. In a review of 200 widely shared cancer treatment articles on social media (Facebook, X, Reddit, etc),...
Here is my talk on how studying viral infections can teach us a lot about the immune system, and how we can use those insights to develop vaccines against viruses. "Night science moments" make science so exciting 🌓 @NightScienceIns @ItaiYanai...
The scientists behind treating Baby KJ say the FDA is imposing standards that could make it too expensive for them — or any academics — to bring such bespoke therapies to approval. https://t.co/OrxMXBVev4

U.S. venture capital firms are no longer waiting for Chinese biotech assets to surface before investing in them — they’re moving upstream, embedding themselves inside labs and courting scientists before they publish their research https://t.co/7kOlGh0sbu

This is a very important study and I'm hearing from clinical experts in my network that the best prevention is calcium, weight bearing exercise and getting regular DXA Scans. Otherwise we're going to see a big increase in high-cost orthopedic...
🎙️ Today on Post-Hoc Live at 1230pm: How the GOP flipped on vaccines💉 I'll be talking with former Republican Congressman Dr. @michaelcburgess and our own @maxonwifi. We'll talk about MAHA's takeover of GOP health policy and the risk for Republicans. https://t.co/65bmPKEtHe
"This kind of hype is dangerous. It undermines more serious science and brings into play doubt about data that’s yet to be presented.” https://t.co/43glXqCyx9
The Gary-rule helps decide whether it is a health IT or a digital health issue. If a technological issue comes up in a healthcare setting, such as the antivirus software becomes outdated or the electronic medical record system stopped working...
As a medical school professor, I've long suspected that Alzheimer's disease is metabolic at its core. Now we have clinical proof. A Wake Forest trial tested empagliflozin -- a common diabetes drug -- in NON-DIABETIC Alzheimer's patients for the first time. The...
AI is shaping the way @NHS care teams treat and engage with patients. Hear from @NHSBartsHealth and @ImperialNHS leaders on how Oracle’s AI-powered solutions are contributing to the NHS's 10-Year Health Plan. https://t.co/0WNmPrkVQE
I did a futures wheel exercise with the Hungarian National Ambulance Service about an exciting possible milestone in the future: the ambulance fleet of a national service becoming fully autonomous by 2035. This exercise helps determine the primary and secondary consequences...
Solid editorial that will be immediately ignored. The new CDC Director should do a lot of things. They won’t, if one is ever nominated, because the CDC isn’t functioning any more
So @TheCut wrote a hit piece on the @WeillCornell Alexandra Cohen hospital and of course it’s not true and worse they used photos of people who had great deliveries and some who didn’t even have a baby there. The comments...
Interesting. I’m surprised the graph doesn’t show those who decided self care or no care. Also interesting that emergency visits went up. Maybe that’s good? They uncovered conditions that need higher level of care? Or the AI is being cautious.
My father (and a dear friend's father) both died of this form of cancer. It is great to see the advances in cancer treatment... which will only be accelerated in the coming years (provided the luddites don't win the...
Glia-to-Axon Transfer of Ribosomes and miRNAs: A Novel Paradigm in Neural Repair "Schwann cell-derived exosomes thus represent both a novel mode of glia–neuron communication and a promising avenue for next-generation therapies for nerve regeneration." https://t.co/xU3zmkA5OA https://t.co/kK3FrVuN7T
It’s a trendy narrative on therapist social media to say that therapists are disproportionately prepared to treat classic PTSD and underprepared to treat CPTSD - because historically, that was (and in some circles, still is) true. But what I’m increasingly...
Really interesting. One of their predictions is 100% success chance for $MLTX in psoriatic arthritis.
I think peptides are popular because they give people a feeling of power and control. One feels helpless when they can't sleep, stop scrolling, eat well or exercise consistently. A few injections wrestles back a feeling of control. Evidence...
Since the FDA ordered a nonprofit to stop shipping fecal transplant material in 2024, patients with recurrent C. diff have struggled to find cures. @EricBoodman documented one mom's long journey to keep her son alive. https://t.co/48ADcDGU0b via @statnews
Well, you will die alone with the grifters on that hill as folic acid is the only one that has been proven to reduce neural tube defects and yes, it even works for people with MTHFR variations. Methyl folate is...
Hey @BernieSanders, look up who owns HealthFirst, the insurer that cut off her insurance for a nickel and explain to us all why you are not actively supporting the Break Up Big Medicine Bill ? Why am I calling you out...

The $UTHR news today is great for IPF patients. But it is also very good news for $LQDA given they have better delivery of the same drug. UTHR has 7-year orphan protection in IPF, but that can be overcome by...
Everyone complains that clinical trial recruitment is hard. Fair. 📍 But here is a question not enough people ask: Have you looked closely at your 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗿𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲? I ran one through https://t.co/f9IW600hsB. The science was solid. The 𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁. 📉 That is the disconnect. Too...

Duikers — a variety of small antelopes prevalent in Central and West Africa — may be playing a role in the spread of #mpox, @kakape reports. https://t.co/ujCbLNpmyV
If health systems and payers started treating ZIP-code level life expectancy variation as a population health management problem, it could fundamentally change how we prioritize prevention and SDOH investment. #aging #healthyaging #longevity #healthspan https://t.co/ECpwfCeSUC
I volunteer to explain to the producers/writers of The Pitt the differences between Medicare and Medicaid...(seems they could use it).
Barry Bloom, former dean of @HarvardChanSPH & a leading immunologist, recently died at the age of 88. Two colleagues, @mlipsitch & Yonatan Grad, have written a lovely tribute of the man and his work. https://t.co/q5r37uSWVr
“Longevity tourism” Plenty of folks willing to travel & pay for “stem cells as magical thinking” and a growing panoply of unproven & sometimes dangerous “#longevity” therapies. Caveat emptor. By @PeterWardJourno in @Slate https://t.co/jq9rPrcRK2
Language barriers can lead to misunderstandings within the clinical setting, contributing to avoidable readmissions. With Oracle’s language services solutions, we can help to ensure that no patient’s care instructions are lost in translation. https://t.co/zslQNyt7IO
