"Yet research has found that many Americans—particularly Black Americans—have not bought into the promise of ACP. Advocates say that such plans are especially important for Black Americans, who are more likely to experience racial discrimination and lower-quality care throughout the health-care system. Advance care planning, they say, could help patients understand their options and document their wishes, as well as reduce anxiety for family members."

Meet the lab of Chema Martín-Durán @Chema_MD, based at Queen Mary University of London, UK.
The lab studies segmented worms with spiral cleavage to understand how development is controlled and evolves to generate new phenotypes #EvoDevo

"Headlines announce that transmission is surging and hospitalizations for Covid are rising by alarming percentages. There’s debate in some places about whether or not to resume wearing masks. People are worrying about whether the latest subvariant, BA.2.86, spells bad news for our fall and winter, and whether soon-to-be-released booster shots will be a match for it or whatever variant follows."

Common things are common, and when you hear hoof beats, think of horses, not zebras!
With these teaching pearls, physicians are trained to focus on common and likely diagnoses. Unfortunately, the #Refeeding syndrome is not particularly common.
To explore if #MedicalAI can detect such uncommon diseases, we have developed a laboratory based algorithm for the #RefeedingSyndrome

We are now able to share prospective data:

'Aquellos chistes sobre crímenes orca-nizados no les hicieron mucha gracia a los investigadores de estos animales. Les preocupaba que la propagación de esas ideas de ataques y venganza, sin base científica, fomentase represalias contra las orcas ibéricas, una población de menos de 40 ejemplares que se encuentra en peligro crítico de extinción.'
"The year was 1947, and Ms. Allen was an unworldly 16-year-old from Detroit who had come to be trained as a pediatric nurse’s aide at Sea View, which had opened in 1913 to wage war on tuberculosis. Known as the “white plague,” the highly contagious disease killed 5.6 million people in the United States in the first half of the 20th century, when there was no direct cure."

We're calling on #ScienceMastodon #AcademicMastodon & #OpenScience enthusiasts to help us know which communities we should be speaking with as we seek to understand the difficulties around preprint discovery. From societies, labs, preprint review groups & tech initiatives - we’d love to know them all! Here's why 🧵(1/3)

This essay comments on the @PLOSBiology research article by Cara Brook, Carly Rozins, Sarah Guth, and Mike Boots, who use #nested models to predict how virulent a newly emerging virus could be based on the physiology of its reservoir host.

"These findings indicate a discrepancy in the approval policies between the FDA and EMA and imply either that some patient groups in the USA do not get access to relevant medical treatment, or that some patient groups in the EU are treated with medicine without a positive benefit–risk balance."
