We should not only be talking about treating cancer more quickly or diagnosing it earlier.
We should be talking about preventing cancer.

If in Dec 2020 you had told me it would take until April 2021 to get my #COVID research published, I’d have been disappointed.
It has now been published (April 2025), 4 years later.

Dear #MedTwitter
To help understand #LongCOVID I believe there are important lessons we first need to learn about the acute phase of #COVID-19. This is because (as I see it) they are different phases of the same disease.

Athersclerotic plaque also contains pathogenic bacteria which originate from the oral microbiome. This is not a coincidence. These organisms are responsible for gum disease. They are not innocent bystanders in atherosclerosis.

Dear fellow medical researchers,
Have you ever contributed to an academic paper and then asked for your name to be removed because you disagreed with something the paper states?
If so, what was it?
(BTW I am not currently planning to do this, if anyone is worried)

Very sorry to hear of the death of Dr Asif Saifuddin, a legend of MSK Radiology whose educational contribution in the field is second to none.
Condolences to his family. The world of Radiology will miss him hugely.
