Now there are two possibilities
1️⃣ There was a joint swelling which is no longer there
OR
2️⃣ There was no joint swelling to begin with

Let's start with the first one– there was indeed joint swelling which is no longer there
That means we are dealing with
☝️ An episodic inflammatory disease
✌️ Drug modified disease

1) I am a big fan of evolutionary medicine --> the study of human evolution and how it can be harnessed for the practice of medicine.
I recently went in for a deep dive into an important topic --> HYPERURICEMIA
Here is what I learnt!

2) Uric acid is the endproduct of purine metabolism in humans --> this is an exception among mammals!
Why does this happen?
1. Lack of uricase
2. Avid renal reabsorption of uric acid

This ancient enzyme, present since bacteria, accumulated a number of mutations approx 10-30 million years ago and gradually lost its function in humans, some higher primates and some New World monkeys.

Beware of these!!
Elevated uric acid doesn't always 🟰 gout

If one has gout, then avoid:

À la question du pourquoi achetez-vous l’#eau en bouteilles plastiques, beaucoup répondent le goût :
Et selon les enquêtes d’opinion, qui valent ce qu’elles valent [CaD un peu, mais pas beaucoup non plus], c’est exactement ca :

Il y'a la #Chasse et l'après-chasse avec le traitement de la #venaison🤷♂️
Une fois éviscéré, le #gibier est, de préférence, conservé 48H au frigo dans la peau
Vient alors le temps du #dépeçage
Exemple ici : un #sanglier

🚨 Watch out, time for another #cholesterol #tweetorial! 🚨This time we’re going to take a look at the very fundamental nature of cholesterol molecule. It has biochemical properties that make it 1) essential to life but 2) problematic in excess. So let’s get to it! (1/33)
First, as everyone can read in wikipedia or a high-school level biology book, cholesterol is used to make many things. It’s a good building block for certain hormones, cell membranes and bile acids. But why? (2/33)
The reason is this sturdy multi-ring structure that has many “corners” for attaching stuff. Depending on specific needs, different types of molecular side chains can be attached to this basic frame (3/33)
