130 yrs ago this month, Dr. Daniel Hale Williams, a Black surgeon at Provident Hospital in Chicago whose ancestors were slaves, performed what was then believed to be the first open #heart #surgery. A thread... (1)
The patient, 24yo James Cornish, had been stabbed with a knife in the chest in a saloon scuffle. He was bleeding profusely when he was dropped off at the hospital by a horse-drawn ambulance. (2)
With no diagnostic equipment other than a stethoscope - X-rays would not be discovered for another 2 yrs—Williams examined him. The stab wound was slightly to the left of the breastbone and directly over the right ventricle. (3)

1/As promised & after reading $CRSP latest Q4 2022 #financial #report here is my impression regarding @CRISPRTX latest corporate status. I have focused only on the main issues that I found to be the most interesting & relevant. #CRISPR #BioTech #FinTwit #Genomics #GeneEditing 🧵
2/IMO the most significant corporate event in Q4 was $CRSP announcement that regulatory Exa-cel submissions of both #SickleCell & #BetaThalassemia validated in the #EU & #UK & that the @US_FDA BLA submission is on track by the end of Q1 ‘23 - possibly reaching the #markets in ‘23
3/Exa-cel/CTX001 - the key program in $CRSP portfolio, is an #autologous Ex-Vivo #CRISPR/#Cas9 #GeneEditing therapy aimed for patients suffering from #TDT or severe #SCD. The latest readout for both programs was phenomenal with 42/44 TDT & 31/31(!) demonstrated remarkable results

#heart #transplant #covid19 #vaccination There is a great deal of consternation about heart transplants and vaccine requirements. This thread is meant to explain to the public why our partners in heart transplant are so incredibly strict.
Heart transplant is one of the most scarce resources that exist. Big reason? A donor has to be deceased for a heart to be available. Even then, a separate medical team has to be sure the heart is healthy enough survive two surgeries (leaving the donor, getting to destination).
If fully functional hearts could be delivered at some point in the far future on a 3d printer, this will no longer be an issue. That’s an active area of research but not a reality.
Canadian guidance on #alcohol consumption
(January 2023)
1. Young people should delay alcohol use for as long as possible.
2. Individuals should not start to use alcohol or increase their alcohol use for health benefits.
3. Any reduction in alcohol use is beneficial.

Anti-acidity medicines increase the risk of heart attacks
1. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) like omeprazole, esomeprazole & rabeprazole are commonly used for treating GERD and other acidity-related disorders.
A recent study looked at long-term PPI use and risk of heart diseases.

2. 19,229 adults with type 2 diabetes were followed up for about 11 years.

3. The mechanism of PPI increasing the risk of #heart diseases could be: the effects of PPI on altering gut microbes and their interaction with anti-platelet agents (PPIs may reduce the bio-availability of clopidogrel).

2. Current guidelines recommend 150–300 min of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, 75–150 min of vigorous physical activity, or a combination of both/week. However, 50-75% of population can not fulfil this due to various reasons.
8 min/day should be manageable for majority.

Why do a few young, physically active, seemingly healthy people suffer from heart attack?
1. A person with normal body weight, doing regular running, cycling, or working out in gym, is not immune to heart attack, as a few recent reports suggest. Here are some of the reasons why:

2. Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HCM)
HCM accounts for 40% cases of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in young athletes. Unfortunately over 80 % of affected individuals are asymptomatic before SCD, which often occurs during exercise or in its aftermath.

3. How difficult was it? In reality, it was not difficult. Once you get up and start the run, it is easy to complete. The most important is- you need 2.5 to 3.5 hours time to compete the distance. I could manage that in the mornings between 5 and 8:30 AM.
