An elderly patient who was diagnosed as #lungcancer 2 years back presented to the ER at 5 pm with multiple episodes of seizures. He couldnt speak, recognise his daughters and was having slurring of speech. His consciousness levels were low

A MRI of the brain done showed one of the most tragic sights-multiple areas of the brain affected by Cancer deposits. In the image you can see them as the fluffy white spots.

First, an evolutionary stress model would suggest that there is not a single "normal" response to stress, but rather that there is a wide range of responses that may be adaptive for different individuals or groups.
This perspective is consistent with the idea of neurodiversity, which recognizes that there is a wide range of variations in brain function and development that are normal and valuable.
Second, an evolutionary stress model would suggest that interventions for stress-related disorders should be tailored to an individual's unique genetic and environmental background.

$PVCT ITU PV-10 v $MRNA cancer vaccine: mRNA produces antigens from a defined library; PV-10 produces antigens present in an injected tumor that may extend beyond what's contained in the library
$PVCT ITU PV-10 v $MRNA cancer vaccine: mRNA presumably is based on genomic profiling of a single tumor; PV-10 produces antigens specific to each injected tumor
$PVCT ITU PV-10 v $MRNA cancer vaccine: mRNA produces antigens, but presumably does not produce co-stimulatory factors; PV-10 produces antigens + multiple co-stimulatory factors, such as DAMPs (damage-associated molecular patterns)
Though not its intention, this study from #OW2022 illustrated the concepts of satiation vs satiety very well
Colloquially we use these terms interchangeable

Satiation is the feeling of fullness WITHIN a meal while satiety is the feeling of fullness IN BETWEEN meals
Even though current meds like GLP1s seem to affect both, it’s an impt distinction especially when some peptides (eg, amylin)

Episode today was about #ArtificialIntelligence in #medicine and I want to share my concerns about the discussion on racial disparities in knee pain (starting at 19:00)
A 🧵
#1 - The suggestion that only pain that can be explained by pathology seen on a knee xray is "real, organic, genuine" and other pain is "in someone's head" is hugely problematic and detrimental to patients seeking care for #Chronicpain and providers.
nature.com/articles/s4159…
nature.com/articles/s4159…
This is not aligned with the role of nervous system sensitization, psychological factors, and other mechanisms underlying the chronic pain experience.
Imp to note that #machinelearning model from xrays explained only 16% of variability in pain overall

This paper has many interesting findings but I wanted to focus on the #brain-#kidney axis. What is the relationship between the kidneys and brain injury in malaria? Can measuring tau levels help us identify children at risk of long-term brain injury? Let's discuss! 🧵
Last year there were an estimated 627 000 malaria deaths with 80% of African deaths occurring in children <5 years of age. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 disruptions in public health measures to control malaria, this is higher than in previous years.
Survivors are at risk of long-term brain injury. We need tools to identify children at risk of brain injury for early interventions so that every child has an opportunity to survive, and thrive.

#NSCLC proteome subtypes are driven by histology, growth pattern, immune cell infiltration, driver mutations, oncogenic pathways, and cell types, suggesting potential clinical value for treatment stratification and #PrecisionMedicine. 2/6
Unexpectedly, #proteogenomics analysis revealed that high neoantigen burden was linked to global hypomethylation, and that complex neoantigens mapping to genomic regions normally not active in lung were produced in immune-cold subtypes. 3/6

This effort is led by @joo_sang_lee @theNCI #PrecisionMedicine [1/n]
cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
Current precision oncology mainly targets actionable mutations & has limited patient coverage. We present the first precision oncology framework that systematically guides cancer treatment based on *synthetic lethal* vulnerabilities identified via the tumor transcriptome.
*Synthetic lethality* (SL) is an interaction between a pair of genes, where their individual inactivation has no phenotype, but their co-inactivation leads to cell death. We identified the SL pairs from analyzing a large collection of patient cohorts of 10k tumors.
