This is far from “game changer” hype they are trying to make it to be. Congrats @jordybc.bsky.social 🎉🎈

Imaging Studies of the Abdomen and Pelvis. A three-dimensional volume-rendered image of the abdominal aorta and iliac arteries (Panel A) shows no evidence of stenosis or renal-artery abnormalities. An axial CT image, obtained in the portovenous phase after the administration of intravenous contrast material (Panel B), reveals a hypoenhancing, partially exophytic mass in the left kidney (arrow). A sagittal image obtained from contrast-enhanced CT in the portovenous phase (Panel C) shows the same lesion (white arrow), with a more hypodense focus along its superior margin (black arrow). An axial T1-weighted MRI, obtained after the administration of intravenous contrast material (Panel D), shows a hypointense, hypoenhancing lesion in the left kidney (arrow). A coronal T2-weighted MRI (Panel E) shows the lesion with predominantly hypointense signal (white arrow) and a small superior cystic component (black arrow).

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

A Battle with My Blood When I was diagnosed with leukemia, my first thought was that this couldn’t be happening to me, to my family.

Hospital lore —which seems to hold up very well— is that the nicest people have the worst cancers.

God bless Tatiana Schlossberg, who while dying wrote to praise nurses and oncologists, defend scientific research, & eviscerate her cousin, RFK Jr, as he deserves

JAMA study: Spinal manipulation, self-management, and medical care for adults with acute or subacute low back pain (LBP). Results show the number of patients randomized in each therapy with findings on disability and pain.

Among patients with newly diagnosed or recent #LBP at moderate or high risk of chronicity, clinician-supported biopsychosocial self-management produced a greater proportion achieving ≥50% reduction in #disability over 12 months compared to medical care.

Black-and-white photograph of Marie Curie in her Paris laboratory. She stands in a long dark dress with a high collar, carefully holding a glass round-bottom flask, surrounded by early 20th-century scientific equipment including a large glass carboy on the bench behind her. The two-time Nobel laureate is captured mid-experiment, focused and composed.

Black-and-white photograph of Irène Joliot-Curie in a white lab coat at the Radium Institute. Marie Curie’s daughter and 1935 Nobel Chemistry co-winner stands at a workbench lined with beakers, test tubes, and glassware, her expression serious and concentrated amid the tools of radioactivity research.

#OTD in 1903, Marie Curie became the first woman to win a #Nobel Prize (#Physics).

AND

#OTD in 1935, her daughter Irene Joliot-Curie won the Nobel Prize in #Chemistry for the discovery of artificial radioactivity.

They're the only mother–daughter pair to have both won Nobel Prizes. #WomenInSTEM
