"We are THRILLED to share the rolling successes of our 'Teach ME Treat ME' campaign with you, as we report back on the amazing medical education events that have taken place so far – with many more to come in the upcoming months!"
Article has lots more details along with reports of other Millions Missing events! 😁
"We are excited to announce the kick-off of #MillionsMissing 2024 – our ongoing campaign to Teach ME and Treat ME by educating medical providers across our nation’s hospital systems and medical schools about myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME)."
I’ve tried every level of government and they simply won’t help. Ask people in real life if they have somewhere for me to go. Is anybody an #advocate? I need help.
Condividete la notizia di #astrazeneca e rischio trombosi ma assumete ogni tanto farmaci per mal di testa, mal di schiena ecc? Questi farmaci hanno come effetto collaterale raro la trombocitopenia. Avete già chiesto la rimozione dal commercio di Voltaren, Oki e simili? In alcuni di questi farmaci oltre al rischio di infarto del miocardio, ictus ed evento letale, questo rischio di valori anormali nel sangue può interessare una persona su 10.000 e non qualcuna su milioni. 1/2 #MedMastodon
Zu medizinischen Bildern einfach mal #ChatGPT befragen? Bei Bildern aus der #Nuklearmedizin ist das keine gute Idee, so eine Studie von #CharitéBerlin. Die KI liefert widersprüchliche Antworten und markiert krankhafte Veränderungen, wo gar keine sind.
"Teach ME Treat ME will be here in the next few weeks! While many of you are preparing to host medical education events, we know that thousands of you will be participating from home!
We are beyond excited to share the Show Up From Home Toolkit! This toolkit lays out an array of ways you can take action from home based on your energy level."
In the most recent weekly update on April 11, 2024, the CDC reported 8 new cases of measles, bringing the total for this year to 121 measles cases reported by 18 jurisdictions. 56% of cases have been hospitalized for isolation or management of complications.
"We are less than a month away from launching #MillionsMissing 2024, and we are thrilled at the success we’re already seeing with the campaign!
We know the impact of #TeachMETreatME will be HUGE with thousands more clinicians across the country being educated on how to diagnose and treat the ME. Some of these clinicians will become the specialists we so desperately need."
Spoiler: surgical infections mostly come from patients' own microbiomes (and article is not about covid).
This makes me wonder about people with eczema, which is related to higher-than-usual staph bacteria levels on the skin. Do eczema patients have commensurately higher rates of surgical infections?
I'm curious if any medical or science people here have insight on that.
#Kortison dämpft das Immunsystem sehr effektiv – aber wie schafft es das?
Ein Team der #CharitéBerlin & der @FAU zeigt jetzt @Nature, dass Kortison den Stoffwechsel von Immunzellen umprogrammiert und so eine körpereigene Entzündungsbremse betätigt. Auf Basis der Erkenntnisse wollen die Forschenden nun nebenwirkungsärmere Entzündungshemmer entwickeln.
Schloendorff v. Society of New York Hospital - Wikipedia
"Every human being of adult years and sound mind has a right to determine what shall be done with his own body; and a surgeon who performs an operation without his patient's consent commits an assault for which he is liable in damages. This is true except in cases of emergency where the patient is unconscious and where it is necessary to operate before consent can be obtained."
Most new doctors face some form of sexual harassment, even after #MeToo
Kara Gavin write up of Frank et al., JAMA Health Forum 2024
"She notes that surgical training programs, which include general surgery and specialties that include surgical training -- such as gynecology, urology, otolaryngology, neurosurgery, plastic surgery and orthopedic surgery -- have the most work to do."
This is a good piece.
“Today we have a whole new breed of physicians whose eminence is due more to their media exposure than their accomplishments. The likes of Mehmet Oz, Deepak Chopra, Steven Gundry, Joseph Mercola and Christiane Northrup have become mega-influencers and continually use their eminence to upset the evidence-loaded cart.” #Science#Scicomm#Medicine#MedMastodon#Canada
The CDC has issued a Health Alert advisory regarding an increase in global and U.S. measles cases with guidance on steps recommended to prevent measles for international travelers aged 6 months or older and for all children aged 12 months or older. From January 1 to March 14, 2024, CDC has been notified of 58 confirmed cases of measles in the US, 93% of which were linked to international travel. (CDC Health Alert Network
