I study #drug #allergy. It was the inferior antibiotic choices we made for people with vague antibiotic allergies during my residency @MGHMedicine @mghmedres that initially gave me the idea. Too often the allergy lists were impeding clinical care. /2 of 20
I hypothesized that drug allergies were a problem -- that penicillin allergies alone were linked to important antibiotic stewardship and public health outcomes. I set off to prove this, and address the burden of unclear drug allergies across populations. /3 of 20

An illegal #NATO #coup to the end, and such systematic #fraud is certainly not thoughtless. Any other #NATO member country can use the harsh truth to throw #Finland out of NATO or leave it to its own... tinyurl.com/576e3pfk Image
@NATO #Niinistö took #Finland to the #Euro zone with #treason (a crime that does not expire), and now we are going to #NATO even though the #Paris #PeaceTreaty is still #valid with #Russia and #prevents Finland from becoming a NATO member.

💊💊💊NEW TWEETORIAL 💊💊💊
This is about #PartD and #AuthorizedGenerics and how some generics aren't a very good deal for health plans, even if they provide savings to patients. With @profmikecarrier @NancyKeatingMD @AmeetSarpatwari. 1/7
jamanetwork.com/journals/jamai…
You might remember headlines like this one that were telling us about companies coming out with generic versions of their $$$$ brand-name drugs. We saw this for #insulin #hepatitisC and #epipen over the past few years. 2/7
nytimes.com/2019/03/04/hea…
These are "authorized generics" which are when a brand company takes off the brand name but the drug is exactly the same. In these cases, the generic product came out way before patents were expired. 3/7

I read somewhere statement by @PawarSpeaks on #IndiraG & her death.

1: Pawar is frustrated with NO one asking him for anything except where is @AnilDeshmukhNCP?

2: He believed that as king of #Baramati he will still have his swag - he is cut short & agencies are too close

1/n
3: His Frustration - with change in Essential Commodities Amendment Act he cannot whip inflation to suit his need.

4: He believes #IndiraG was murdered by Farmers of #Punjab - कौन सा गाँजा फूंकते है यह 🧐

5: Does be mean that everyone in #Punjab is a murderer?

6: @narendramodi ensured that his daughter remains poor & is NOT able to grow Crores of out of flower pot.

If you want to understand the aggression shown by Mizo groups against Assam, you should read about the illegal mafia of drugs, betel nuts and other cartels calling shots in Mizoram. Himanta’s campaign against drugs has rattled those drug lords, who were making millions +
The Mizo mafias and their heinous crimes are uncovering now. The anti drug campaign launched by Assam Police has seriously damaged the drug and betel nut mafia in Mizoram. What is more disturbing is the tactical support of Mizoram admin and police to these criminals +

The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Indore has developed a cost-effective new asparaginase drug with lesser side-effects to treat Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). Asparaginase is an enzyme that is used as a medication, using the protein engineering approach.
ALL is a type of blood cancer representing nearly a quarter of cancer cases diagnosed among children. Around 25,000, new cases of ALL are diagnosed every year in India.
The institute said that repeated administration of asparaginase, currently to treat ALL, causes serious side-effects such as allergic reactions, neurotoxicity, among others.

I followed @FitTuber advise and got all these #Ayurveda medicines which he outright claimed are '#safer', ''#effective' than conventional prescription drugs for day to day use. These will be tested for #safety first - will undergo GCMSMS, ICP-OES and FTIR analyses.

I looked at packaging and found interesting (poor regulation, absurdity), #quackery, #pseudoscience based descriptions like this:
Malaria - caused by parasite
Dengue - caused by virus
Typhoid - caused by bacteria.
One tablet to rule them all. Reminds me of lord of the rings.

This particular #ayurvedic tablet is good for indigestion, hyperacidity and THEN - like a @starwars hyperspace jump 🤯SCABIES🤯. How? Why? What is the mode of action within this very broad range of 'symptoms to disease'. You know this medicine is #fraud.
Also check out 'etc'🙅‍♂️
