“What we've shown in this paper is that the epithelial cells can communicate with the macrophages,"… "Our hypothesis is that their cross talk potentially provides an environment that's conducive to the development of the disease."

Social problems can make you ill. This is why #SocialPrescribing was developed. Researchers led by #CharitéBerlin are now investigating whether help such as anti-stress courses or job counselling provided in GP practices contribute to better health.

I can’t get over the cognitive dissonance of spending 12 hours of intense work in clinic, using every minute of my 25 years of training and experience to formulate treatment plans for my patients with #cancer, and then to come home and check the news and to read about every part of the infrastructure needed to attain the knowledge for these treatment plans bring intentionally dismantled

"The cure for TB—roughly half a year on antibiotics—has existed since the 1950s, and works for most patients. Yet, in the decades since, more than 100 million people have died of tuberculosis because the drugs are not widely available in….

Any #science #endocrinology #doctor types or knowledgeable patients out there?

Have some questions before I spend money I don’t have re #DHEA & #pregnenolone.:

I’m trying to find a good compounding chemist in #Melbourne #Ausralia to compound DHEA (it’s illegal in Aus to buy off the shelf, need compounding prescription & permit- got both).

BUT! I’m getting confused by the chemists. Some say I must get a DHEA troche or a capsule will convert straight to #estrogen or #testosterone, no chance to tap DHEA receptors (unsure if they exist). I’ve also read it modulated other receptors before being metabolised.Wouldn’t I be better off w a cream in that case? Other compounders say there’s no difference. BS?

I thought #pregnenolone
might help more. It’s the ‘mother hormone’, right?
Since I caught #COVID19 I’m mostly producing low hormones but it varies. Cortisol normalised, still on thyroid meds, oestrogen shot up, no DHEA or testosterone…plus much more going on.

#DHEA: Can anyone w science background/knowledgeable patient help with this?
I’m trying to find a good compounding chemist (DHEA illegal in Aus without compounding prescription & permit- got both)

BUT! I’m getting confused by the chemists. Some say I must get a DHEA troche or will convert straight to #estrogen or #testosterone as capsule, no chance to tap DHEA receptors. Ive also read it taps & modulates other receptors beforehand. Wouldn’t I be better off w a cream in that case? Other compounders say there’s no difference. BS? Halp.

I thought #pregnenolone might help more. It’s the ‘mother hormone’, right?
Since I caught #COVID19 I’m mostly producing low #hormones but it can varies (some up, others down, some normalise after a time. Cortisol normalised, still on thyroid meds, oestrogen shot up, no DHEA or testosterone… much more.

Can anyone help? I’ve been through multiple doctors, asked pharmacist and they all contradict themselves and each other or don’t know what either home does.

Don’t ever get #ChronicIllness

You’ll up relying on people who don’t know how medicine works. Very few knowledgeable people.

Just saw a 4th grader for a paper cut -- to the eye. Right down the middle of the cornea across her iris.

You know how your teacher says to read things closely? Not that much!

(Otherwise not severe, just an oddball eyeball.)

I'm off today, recovering from HIMSS, but that means I can catch up on my @STAT colleagues' stories that I haven't gotten to read over the past few weeks.

You can too, with a limited-time 50% off offer for STAT+.

Grab it first, then read along with me!
