Mashup Score: 145Paxlovid: A Regulatory Gamble - 2 year(s) ago
On December 22, 2021, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued emergency use authorization (EUA) for the combination of nirmatrelvir and ritonavir tablets co-packaged and sold by Pfizer (New York, NY) under the name Paxlovid for individuals over the age of 12 years. Data supporting EUA comes from EPIC-HR, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of adult patients with COVID-19 who had one or more risk factors for progression to severe disease (Table).1-3 Crucially, none of the participants had received a COVID-19 vaccine or had a prior documented infection with COVID-19.

Mashup Score: 0The Anguish of Mortality and the Burden of Remembrance - 2 year(s) ago
At the time of this writing, the reality of mortality remains as unshakeable as ever. Although the field of regenerative medicine witnessed substantial gains owing to the likes of Juan Carlos Izpisua-Belmonte, Ph.D. and David A. Sinclair, A.O, Ph.D., the best one can hope for, at present, is a modest extension of life expectancy.1,2 Far greater uncertainty pervades the highly speculative, if ever present prospect of human cloning as a means of securing post-mortem “immortality.”3 It would thus appear that for the foreseeable future, the biblical admonition of Adam – “for you are dust, and to dust you shall return” – is holding firm with no obvious, let alone near-term relief in sight.

Several common misconceptions can make the clinical diagnosis of subacute pericardial tamponade challenging. Widely known physical findings of pericardial tamponade lack sensitivity and specificity. Interpretation of echocardiographic signs requires good understanding of pathophysiology. Over-reliance on echocardiography may result in over-utilization of pericardial drainage procedures. Awareness of these misconceptions with an integrative approach to both clinical and imaging data will help clinicians to assess the hemodynamic impact of pericardial effusion and the need for drainage.

Nice work @TracyBethHoeg & team. @CDCgov preaches mask efficacy in 77 studies despite only 30% actually testing masks, and fewer than 11 having statistically significant findings. Oh! And no randomized trials 🙄 Can't WAIT to see a changing of the guard! https://t.co/UcMQEqg4QE
