Greetings! My name is John. 🤝

Years ago, I worked at Microsoft as a contractor.

Poppin' them like Skittles.

Over time, I felt discomfort in the Liver Area.

Our new case study highlights why it's important for physicians to better understand the body's response to #exercise #training. 🧵1/5

🔓journals.lww.com/jfmpc/Fulltext… #medicine #liver #physiology @theliverdr

In Oct 2021, I had a routine blood test that revealed elevated liver enzymes. A later blood test with a different doctor showed the liver panel was "elevated and worsening", more than double the normal range for some variables. 2/5

A series of additional tests, including abdominal ultrasound, were negative. Physician referred me to a gastroenterologist who suggested (an invasive) liver biopsy. However, before the next blood test, I stopped exercising for 7 days. 3/5

Daily coffee consumption is good for chronic liver disease patients

1. Coffee is a popular beverage & is known to have multiple health-related benefits including better overall survival in several diseases. A systematic review looked at association of coffee and #liver disease.

2. Coffee consumption was associated with improved serum gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) values in a dose dependent manner in individuals at risk for liver disease.
#MedTwitter

3. In chronic liver disease patients who consume coffee, a decreased risk of progression to cirrhosis, a lowered death rate in cirrhosis patients, and a lowered rate of hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) development were observed.

Less Than 6 Hours of #sleep a Night Linked to Serious, Chronic Illness
1. Beginning at age 50, those who slept 5 hours or less a night had a 30% higher risk of developing multiple chronic diseases over time than those who slept at least 7 hours a night.
#MedTwitter #MedEd

2. By the time the participants were aged 70 years, that risk had increased to 40%.
3. Higher risk was seen for #diabetes, #Cancer, heart disease, #stroke, COPD, chronic kidney disease, #liver disease, #depression, #dementia, #Parkinsonsdisease, and #arthritis.

Conclusion: It is important to get 7-9 hours of good quality sleep to reduce the risk of many chronic diseases.

@FudimMarat

I am a cardiologist, and my work place is above the diaphragm?! Why should I care about the #liver and #NAFLD (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease)?
⚡️Our therapies in many cases reach well beyond the heart
⚡️In order to improve outcomes we have to tackle comorbidities
A🧵

🟦NAFLD (prevalence 25%) isn't only a hepatic disease but also a systemic & CV disease w/o effective pharmacotherapy
🟦We discuss the promising role of SGLT2i in NAFLD, propose mechanisms, & suggest future directions.

sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

The pathogenesis of NAFLD is multifactorial w/ parallel processes that involve insulin resistance, hepatic fat accumulation, increased lipotoxicity, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, ER stress, abnormal autophagy, altered gut flora, & apoptosis.

1/As promised & after reading $NTLA latest Q1 2022 financial report here is my analysis regarding @intelliatx latest corporate status. I have focused only on the main issues that I found to be the most interesting & relevant. #CRISPR #GeneEditing #BioTech #FinTwit #Genomics👇

2/NTLA-2001 is the most advanced In-Vivo #CRISPR/#Cas9 #GeneEditing program in $NTLA portfolio & is aimed to treat Transthyretin Amyloidosis - (ATTR). NTLA-2001 could potentially halt & reverse the disease in a “one time” treatment by knocking out the TTR gene with a single dose

3/In February $NTLA has presented an updated clinical data from its Phase 1 study of NTLA-2001 which included 15 patients with ATTR amyloidosis. IMO NTLA-2001 readout looks promising & here is a summary that I wrote shortly after @intelliatx’s presentation of NTLA-2001👇

The U.S. CDC has issued a nationwide alert for medical professionals to report any cases of #hepatitis in #children. The alert was made after a cluster of 9 severe hepatitis cases was identified in children aged 1-6 in Alabama. #CDC #CGTNAmerica

In Alabama, several children developed liver failure and two had to receive liver transplants. #hepatitis #children #CGTNAmerica

Severe #hepatitis cases among children were also found in Denmark, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Spain after a report last week in the U.K. that found 74 cases in #children since January. #CGTNAmerica

Columbia Surgery

@ColumbiaSurgery

🧵 In the US, until recently, your chances of receiving a donated #liver w/in 30 days would vary significantly depending on where you lived—as low as 1%, or as high as 60%. Remember Steve Jobs' speedy liver transplant? He got on multiple waitlists...🧵 columbiasurgery.org/news/end-liver…

For decades, experts and providers have been pressing for a more equitable system of organ allocation, one that would even the odds between, say, a patient in a dense urban center with a long waitlist and a patient in a more rural, statistically healthier area with a short one.

For almost 50 years, the system in place was an outgrowth of informal sharing networks between doctors and medical centers, resulting in a web of organ procurement organizations (OPOs) and donation service areas (DSAs) spread out across the country. #donatelife

Hey Twitter! It's been a while. I used to write here all the time hanging out with #scifichat, #comicschat, #litchat, talking about #science, #tech, #autism and a dozen other topics which broadened my horizons and let me share my diverse interests in almost everything.

Then my life got incredibly busy. My son went to high school and coupled with his #autism, our lives became super-complex. I lost my job and my car gave up the ghost after four years of @Uber. Then the unthinkable, my wife experienced #renalfailure.

4 years ago, she underwent an operation for #peritoneal #dialysis. This form of at-home dialysis would let her take care of her renal needs at home avoiding the need for external #hemodialysis centers. In hindsight, this may have saved her life.

1/🧵🎥 MAJOR TIPS about #Liver Disease

Why do we ask pts to “hold up traffic”? When people get severe liver disease, “asterixis” is a finding on exam we often see.

What does it mean?

#MedTwitter #NurseTwitter #TipsforNewDocs #Addiction

2/ Asterixis indicates that toxins like ammonia have built up in the body because the scarred liver no longer filters them out. The brain cells no long function normally (#Delirium or Hepatic #Encephalopathy) & can no longer control muscle movements like posture!

3/ These same toxin cause vessels to dilate and develop problems with blood flow in the skin and lungs. A skin finding is called “spiders.” They look like a multi-legged spider, right? It’s a tip-off.

ICYMI, a reminder that this pandemic will have a lasting legacy beyond the tragedy of the countless lost lives and grieving families. Results from the #COVERSCAN study on #longcovid reports that organ impairment was detected in post COVID patients as shown in the figure below

This included damage to the #heart, #lungs, #kidneys, #liver, #pancreas and #spleen In almost a third of patients, damage in 2 or more organs was identified. In particular, damage to the liver, heart or lungs was associated with further organ impairment.

The participants in this study were all considered to be previously at low risk of #mortality and had no #comorbidities. bmjopen.bmj.com/content/11/3/e…
