Does this look right to you?
Let me take you down a rabbit hole to illustrate how a network of interlacing problems in Alzheimer’s disease research ethics impacts our progress on this disease.

1/Controversy in radiology can get tense!
The Mt Fuji sign for tension pnemocephalus is under scrutiny. When should you call it?
A thread about imaging this important neurosurgery complication
These woods are dark and filled with trolls. I'm going to explore bluer places with clearer skies.

New paper alert: A two-cutoff CSF Aβ42/40 approach improves Aβ detection in real world clinical settings. CSF Aβ42/40≥7.1 rules out amyloid, while ratios~5.5–7.1 benefit from Aβ PET. Key for Lecanemab stratification. #Alzheimers #Biomarkers

Medicine focuses a lot on the question “will this help my patient” but not on the question “when will it help my patient.” The latter becomes important as we age. We’ve developed a “time-to-benefit” tool on eprognosis.ucsf.edu to help answer this question.

If you figure out a way for folks to make more $€£ out of incontinence care, maybe you could get funding for a RCT?

From pre-diabetes to Alzheimer’s disease in the cognitively normal, there is an ongoing push to label healthy individuals as sick. Who benefits from this and who is harmed? One of my favorite med journalism articles of 2024 dives into the debate.

Where do I file my refund request for the thousands of dollars in NJ Turnpike tolls I’ve paid over the years to support NJ’s travel infrastructure?
It’s unconscionable that NYers should have to pay to use NJ’s roads.
Nice!
Maybe add: Things may seem less dark as your pain in the rear kid starts growing up/ 20 yrs old. By 3 weeks/ 20 days old, the ADC should not look dark
