Nr. 1: Supplemental #VitaminD and Incident #Fractures in Midlife and Older Adults @NEJM
No effect in the VITAL trial although confidence intervals do not exclude meaningful reduction in patients on osteoporosis meds or with fracture history

#VitaminD Deficiency Increases Mortality Risk in the UK Biobank
A Nonlinear Mendelian Randomization Study
Risk increased steeply < 50 nmol/L and was greater with genetic than phenotypic vitamin D deficiency

How the last 10 episodes of #Atypical cement its legacy as one of the best series to deal with autism and its butterfly effect on family, friends and loved ones: latimes.com/entertainment-…
“The beauty, heart and wit of the show has always been centered in how deeply it mines Sam’s unique challenges, as well as those of his family, as they navigate life on the spectrum together.” latimes.com/entertainment-… 
“Watching one’s child strike out on their own is bittersweet for most parents. For those of us who spent every waking hour helping our sons or daughters acclimate to a neurotypical world, it’s particularly heartbreaking and terrifying,” writes @LorraineAli latimes.com/entertainment-…

Kids can have a mild infection, or get #PIMS
Kids can get #LongCovid
2000 kids NOT yet better.
Families disbelieved.

The numbers of children with #LongCovid are rising with every #COVID19 infection.
⚠️1 in 8 primary age children will get Long Covid
⚠️1 in 7 secondary age children will get Long Covid.
It appears to makes no difference if a child has a pre-existing condition or not.

Tragically children can die.
Thankfully the numbers are low compared with adults.
Every family that has lost a child will be devastated, the fact the numbers are low will have no bearing on their grief.

You're on call and open a chest CT for a patient with suspected #COVID19.
How do you interpret and report the imaging findings?

🔑KEY POINT:
☝️First, it’s important to note that routine screening chest CT for identification of #COVID19 is NOT currently recommended by most professional organizations.

1/ I would like to take a few minutes to review increased risk of heart diseases in South Asians (if you are from Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan or Sri Lanka – this is you!). @globalsouthAsians @SouthAsianAnd @BrownGirlMag @SouthAsians4USA @masala_study
2/ South asians experience ischemic heart disease at a younger age, and at a higher rate. In the event, we do develop ischemic heart disease, we are more likely to die from it. Increased risk of heart disease attributable to higher prevalence of diabetes and high cholesterol.
3/ CT heart images show variable blood flow, greater obstruction, increased calcification and smaller luminal diameters in South Asians, predisposing to increased mean % obstruction of blood flow and higher prevalence of multi- vessel disease, unlikely to be treated with stents.
