🦠 New @nature.com study finds that respiratory viruses like flu & COVID can wake up dormant breast cancer cells in the lungs, triggering metastatic growth within days. This IL‑6‑driven inflammation correlated w/ higher metastasis & mortality risk in cancer survivors.

Social risk factors like financial hardship, food insecurity, low education, lack of support & medical discrimination at the time of infection are linked to a higher risk of developing #LongCOVID. Addressing SDoH is crucial for recovery.

New study out! 🧠 In our South Texas Long COVID cohort, neuropsychiatric symptoms like brain fog, insomnia & anxiety were key drivers of complexity, even in non-hospitalized patients.
More inclusive care is urgently needed.

🧠 It’s #WorldBrainDay!
This year’s theme: Brain Health for All Ages.
From early development to aging brains, access to care and rehab across the lifespan is essential.
Every brain matters. At every age.
#Physiatry #NeuroRehab #BrainHealth #TBI #Stroke #LongCOVID

🧠 It’s #WorldBrainDay and yes, brain fog is brain dysfunction.
Long COVID isn’t “just being tired.” It’s dysautonomia, cognitive impairment, & neuroinflammation. And it deserves real treatment, not gaslighting.
Protect brains. Believe patients.
#BrainHealthForAllAges #LongCOVID

For sure. But I do like the rewording

Ran past the Alamo yesterday… flag at half mast, flowers reading “Hill Country Strong,” skies heavy with grief. The Good Samaritan from Mass today reminds us: compassion requires action. Our neighbors in the Hill Country need us now. Let’s show up. ❤️‍🩹 #HillCountryStrong #GoodSamaritan

So looking at my Apple watch data which was set to dance workout for both concerts…

Beyonce was 2h 35 min & I burned 350 cal (avg HR 80)

Shakira was 2h 6 min & I burned 404 cal (avg HR 89).

I guess my hips weren’t lying 🦵🏽🪇💃🏽🪩

Cowboy Carter fun last night! Beyoncé puts on a show. It was a 3 hour dance party for me (that I did masked!)

A socioecological approach to understanding and positively affecting the intersectionality between disability, race and ethnicity, climate change, and rehabilitation outcomes: A scoping review Background Health care outcomes for people with disability may be disproportionately affected by climate change through multiple interlinked factors, which are not well understood. Objective With us.....

🔥 New publication!
We used a socioecological model to map the intersection of disability, race/ethnicity, climate change, and rehabilitation outcomes, and how PM&R can respond.
🌀 Multilevel impacts.

Emily in Paris has nothing on Monica & David in Paris! 🇫🇷✨ Had to cross the Atlantic to find my brilliant friend @putrinolab.bsky.social but I’d travel even farther to say thank you.

Your tireless work for those with #LongCOVID is changing lives. The world is lucky to have you in it.

Proof I was at graduation last night 🏃🏽‍♀️💨🤣
