Tafasitamab (cd19 mab) and lenalidomide in large B cell #lymphoma: real-world outcomes in a multicenter retrospective study (abstract only.)
How to reconcile retrospective with prospective study findings - poor versus good respectively?
Selection bias in prospective studies comes to mind -- participants younger than the median age of the afflicted patient population.

How a top doctor drugged & molested a more junior doctor, & how he nearly got away with it:
“My [physician] friend insisted I be taken somewhere for testing ... If my friend hadn’t done that and taken me to a lab, if we waited until Monday for the urine test, the drugs would have left my system … I could not have done it without the support I had, which a lot of people don’t have.”
Respect to the two friends.
Life is about choice. What we eat, what we read, who we elect; every day we make choices that determine how we want to live. But what if these choices are just an illusion? In an era where regulations and red tape rule every industry, where #lobby groups and #corporations wield more influence than ever before, our daily choices have become increasingly limited. Focusing on key areas such as #food, #medicine #finance and #media . Freedom From Choice provides viewers with a glimpse at the myriad of ways their lives are being dictated, and tells us who stands to gain.

Parathyroid and Calcium Management
The parathyroid glands are hormone producing glands making them part of the endocrine system. They are located behind the left and right lobes of the thyroid gland (usually two on each side).
The primary function is regulation of blood calcium by production of a hormone called parathormone (parathyroid hormone). Parathormone is triggered from low blood calcium and acts to increase blood calcium levels by taking calcium out of the bone and putting it into the blood stream.
Abnormal Function Associated with:
- bone degeneration
- kidney stone formation
- hypercalcemia/hypocalcemia
- multiple endocrine neoplasia
- joint pain/bone pain
- poor immune response
Parathyroid glands are often removed when dysfunctional however, holistic strategies focus on underlying causes.

The healthy public is not going to mask in any numbers unless state health departments strongly recommend it.
It’s ok to be unhappy with people who complain about or discriminate against those who wear masks. It’s unhelpful to be angry at people who don’t themselves mask in the absence of state or employer advocacy.
Anger at of this kind promotes reactive anger. And endless futile anger is unhealthy for the angry.
A good news story. Eight year old Aditi Shankar’s immune system was “reprogrammed” after a stem cell transplant and as a result her body accepted a donor kidney as its own. She is the first kidney transplant patient in the UK not to need lifelong immunosuppressive drugs and is now leading a normal life.

Our regulatory systems, not unexpectedly, have close ties to issues of inflammation, cancer, and immune disorders.
The protein p38 also has those ties and de-regulation of it is a key research therapy, but past inhibitors used produce toxic side effects.
Now, IRB Barcelona scientists have made a non-canonical inhibitor that stops p38 autophosphorylation, but doesn't affect its normal regulatory pathway much.
Blood sugar issues, hormone imbalances, and gut issues in particular can affect mood stability.

My first hand exprience with Aboriginal curated bush medicine.
The leaves of a tree had been boiled creating an oily fragragrant brew with anti-inflamatory properties.
The leaves & the brew were then massaged gently onto my hands over some bruises and the treatment accelerated the recovery & their full disappearance.
The brewed substance although oily evaporated very quickly and left no stains whatsoever.
And what made it more memorable was that the masseur was a famous Australian Aboriginal artist (Dhopiya Yunupingu!)👍 😍 :awesome_rotate:

Okay all -- It's early days for figuring out how to help people with
Long COVID.
That said, a bit of promising research is starting to surface.
I'm taking the unusual step of emailing EVERYONE because at this point
many of you with anxiety and depression symptoms may have some Long
COVID (brain fog, sleep issues, the depression or anxiety itself!).
A good write-up about what Long COVID is can be found here. Yes, you
can had a trivial case of COVID-19 and still get Long COVID symptoms for
days, weeks, months, or years. Some cases of it are somewhat "mild":
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/long-term-effects/index.html
*The bottom-line of the video is right at the end. For long COVID:
-- Get outside one hour per day.
-- May cover up if sensitive to sun (near UV rays will get through
clothing anyway)
-- Best if in nature (surrounded by green)
-- Do not look directly at sun (duh)
-- May wear a hat (near UV rays will get through clothing anyway)
-- Sitting in a sunny window no longer good enough (most glass now has
to be certified to block the rays we want)
He also promises to talk about how intermittent fasting may help in a
future video.

Before the pandemic, MedCram mainly seemed to be training for doctors to
pass exams. Since the start of COVID, Dr. Seheult has done occasional
more accessible videos for the general public on COVID-related topics.

Is your doctor wearing a mask?
Covid is surging & hosp admissions are on the upswing. Some ppl are avoiding care bc they fear that they might be another hosp-acquired covid statistic. YET, many hospitals have dropped their masking rqmt.
Our credo is, & should be, "Do no harm." With cases ⬆️, hcare providers should mask. Nice piece by JudyStone in Forbes.👇

Please help me find a #GP or any #doctor willing to prescribe #fentanyl patches within the next 17 days in #Melbourne #Australia
Refused meds by GP who promised to prescribe until I found a new GP (he dropped me because my case is too complex). Changed his mind! Now have 17 days to find any doctor to write a script or #withdrawal agony for me & no #pain control.
Time running out fast!😫
