Quando ouvires:
"Antigamente Portugal era um país respeitado"
Lembra-te:
Em 1949 Portugal adere à NATO. Os EUA ocupam a Base das Lajes, a República Federal Alemã ocupa a Base de Beja e França ocupa a Base dos Flores.

O fascismo existiu.
Quando ouvires:
"Antigamente o Estado respeitava as pessoas"
Lembra-te:
Apenas 25% dos trabalhadores eram mulheres e apenas 19% trabalhavam fora de casa. As mulheres não tinham acesso às seguintes carreiras: magistratura, diplomática, militar e polícia.

o fascismo existiu
Quando ouvires:
"Depois do 25 de Abril, a economia ficou refé do Estado"
Lembra-te:
No fascismo 6 grandes grupos económicos concentravam sectores-chaves da economia: Mellos, Champalimaud, Espírito Santo, Borges e Irmão, Banco Português do Atlântico, Banco Nacional Ultramarino. +

#GoldreichTestableCodesSurvey-2
"Abstract
We survey known results regarding locally testable codes and locally testable proofs (known as PCPs), with emphasis on the length of these constructs. Local testability refers to approximately testing large objects based on a very small

The survey consists of two independent (i.e., self-contained) parts that cover the same material at different levels of rigor and detail. Still, in spite of the repetitions, there may be a benefit in reading both parts.

#Migraine is a neurological disorder, not a terrible, disabling #headache," expert @DavidDodick explains. #Pain is "just 1 clinical manifestation deriving from a sensory processing disturbance affecting the nervous system" (Morgan, Lancet 2020). /Thread thelancet.com/journals/laneu…
Billie lost her insurance when #migraine disabled her: “There are days I don't see anything except for shapes." Visual warnings are the most commonly recognized auras, but these symptoms are highly variable, both in different patients & on different days for the same patient. 2/
Difficulty speaking or speaking clearly is another common #migraine symptom, either preceding or during an attack.

.@headsUPmigraine spoke w/ a rural #PCP hounded out of the profession by relentless pressure to stop rxing #opioids. She was the only PCP in +100 miles willing to accept patients on opioid therapy. Most were over 70. 2018 #AMA statement shows many share her frustration. >thread
In 2018, #AMA passed a resolution against “misapplication” of the CDC Guideline by “pharmacists, health insurers, pharmacy benefit managers, legislatures, & governmental & private regulatory bodies in ways that prevent or limit patients’ medical access to #opioid analgesia.” 2/
#AMA: "physicians should not be subject to professional discipline, loss of board certification, loss of clinical privileges, criminal prosecution, civil liability, or other penalties or practice limitations solely for prescribing #opioids" above CDC's recommended dose. 3/

Risk of OD to prescribed #opioids is 0.13% (Kaiser, Jnl of Pain 2019), while risk of death by OD increases more than 300% with dose variability of ≥30% (JAMA 2019).

VHA study: discontinuation increases the risk of death by #OD or #suicide up to 6.8 times (BMJ 2020). / thread
0.13% = risk of OD to prescribed #opioids (Kaiser 2019). Dose reduction is "inconsistent" in lowering OD risk. Research found "no support for RSM [risk stratification & monitoring] as a means of decreasing overdose.”

Jnl of Pain 2019;20(1) jpain.org/article/S1526-…
0.1% to 0.23% = risk of OD to prescribed #opioids, per Canada's 2017 Guideline.

0.1% for <20 MED, 0.14% for 20–49, 0.18% for 50–99 MED, 0.23% for ≥100 MED.

Discontinuation carries a significantly higher risk of death.

Hoje vai a votos a proposta do PCP de aumento do Salário Mínimo Nacional.

Depois de desfazermos o mito da correlação entre aumento do salário mínimo e aumento de desemprego, agora desfazemos outro: "as empresas não aguentam!". +
Se para as grandes empresas o que está em causa é a manutenção dos seus lucros de centenas de milhões de euros, para centenas de milhares de micro, pequenos e médios empresários, o aumento dos salários é condição essencial para a manutenção da sua actividade. +
Aumentar salários torna evidente a escolha que temos pela frente: defender condições dignas de vida e a actividade de milhões de homens e mulheres que vivem do seu trabalho, ou defender os mega-lucros de um punhado de grandes empresa.

Daqui a pouco definem-se os lados. +

2017 Review: “Expert guidelines recommend reducing or discontinuing long-term #opioid therapy when risks outweigh benefits, but evidence on the effect of dose reduction on patient outcomes has not been systematically reviewed.” / #cpp thread.
🟠 How can guidelines be "expert" recommendations if researchers haven't carefully investigated how patients will react when their rx #opiod med is stopped or reduced?

Are we going to feel better or worse? Are we going to live or die?
In 2017, #VA-funded researchers identified 67 studies about #opioid dosage reduction or discontinuation.

Study quality was deemed “poor” in 76% of the 67, the lowest rating.

What have false assumptions about rx #opioids cost people in #pain? Damn near everything.

@Brian_Goldstone's report ought to be required reading for every #PCP & every legislator who wants to play doctor. #MedicalTwitter harpers.org/archive/2018/0…
For 4 yrs, an rx #opioid let Austin Sell escape the cage of pain, care for his kids, study to become a physician asst to help others w/ #ChronicPain. Then lawmakers in DC imposed a limit on what his clinic could prescribe. "And that was it. The app'ment lasted about 10 minutes."
Dr @StefanKertesz told @Harpers: “In a time of incredible tragedy, there’s a desire for something simple to latch onto as a way of explaining it. A story that has a clear-cut villain, with doctors as dupes and patients as innocent victims, is about as easy to sell as any story.”
