However, Dr. Appavoo points out in her text: "Most concerningly, the petition does not mention that Minister Mark Holland called for the pause based on the initial findings of the External Expert Review." Odd, as the report has not been made public.

Suspension des travaux d’un groupe d’étude | Une décision inacceptable qui fragilise la santé des Canadiens
Les auteurs dénoncent la mise sur pause des activités du Groupe d’étude canadien sur les soins de santé préventifs
#StandUpForScience
Lorsque @gen-bois.bsky.social & @rwittmer.bsky.social (et bp de leurs collègues au pays) s'inquiètent d'une décision qui leur paraît prise pour des raisons discutables scientifiquement, ça m'inquiète en retour. Pour l'état de la science - qui est directement liée à la démocratie👇

Finastéride : une belle chevelure, mais à quel prix?

Dysfonction érectile, dépression, pensées suicidaires... Des effets indésirables rares, mais dévastateurs.
Ce soir, à l’émission Enquête, ma collègue @brigitte.bsky.social et moi vous présentons un reportage sur les risques du finastéride, un médicament contre la perte de cheveux.

How little of what was promoted was rooted in facts is shocking (well I’m maybe more appalled than surprised!).
But also as expected: commercial conflicts of interested were rampant.

We analysed almost 1,000 social media posts about 5 popular medical tests. Most were utterly misleading
87% of posts mentioned the benefits of the tests, while only 15% mentioned potential harms.
Our article out in The Conversation today!
“If information about medical tests promoted by influencers in social media sounds too good to be true, it probably is.”

@rwittmer.bsky.social thanks to you and your team for the CFP article on white oral lesions! Very helpful as we see a lot of thrush and also mimics, plus stomatitis, ill-fitting dentures, etc in palliative care.

A blood test that could spot cancer early is for sale in Canada. Would you pay $2,099 for it? | CBC News
It’s an idea that thrills cancer researchers: a blood test that has the potential to screen for a sweeping number of cancers before symptoms appear.

So much YIKES! #overdiagnosis & underdiagnosis with false positives & negatives, huge knock-on effects for strained system with ??benefit.
Learning from Theranos and 23and me, beware if it sounds too good and/or a corporation owns your DNA 🧬
Not ready for prime time!

Dr Eddy Lang: "The problem as I see it is that the test has not yet been proven to improve patient outcomes."
Yep, I'm DEEPLY skeptical. Anxiety. Over-diagnosis. Iatrogenic injury. Increased costs.
