Van Gogh - um olhar da mente e neurociência

"Os autorretratos de Van Gogh não apenas revelam profundamente a si mesmo, mas também manifestam um novo centro de consciência." 🧵(2)

Observando os padrões de movimento oculares às pinturas de Van Gogh, adultos tiveram durações de fixação mais longas e fizeram menos fixações do que as crianças ao observar as pinturas. 🧵(3)

At first glance, it seems like the bottom line is "there's no publication bias in this field. But how can you study publication bias if you look only at studies that are published. What about the UNpublished studies?

To be fair, they report having looked at study registrations. But it says they searched "clinicaltrials.com" (vs ".gov"), which is the URL for PPD, a contract research organization (CRO) that does Pharma trials. I hope this was a typo.
And they report having looked at funded studies, another good way of establishing an "inception cohort" of trials. They report finding zero unpublished studies. This seems almost too good to be true...
A few remarks on the assumed discovery of the "new" Emperor/Usurper #Sponsianus from a numismatic point of view: 🧵1/15

At the first place, the new study outlines very well the history of research around the Sponsianus coins. What is new is the emphasis on circulating marks (wear) and especially the study of superficial deposits on the coins. The latter is a really exciting approach. 2/15
I try in the following to present only some points briefly and comprehensibly, which from a (personal) numismatic point of view have received too little weighting or too much. Completeness is not possible on Twitter. 3/15

Vorweg: Die neue Studie umreist die Forschungsgeschichte um die Sponsianus Münzen sehr gut. Was neu ist, ist die Gewichtung der Umlaufspuren und besonders die Untersuchung der Ablagerungen auf den Münzen. Letzteres ist ein wirklich spannender Ansatz. 2/16
Ich versuche im Folgenden nur einige Punkte kurz und verständlich darzustellen, die aus (persönlicher) numismatischer Sicht eine zu geringe Gewichtung erhalten haben bzw eine zu große. Vollständigkeit ist auf Twitter nicht möglich. 3/16
Los amigos de quemar madera les dirán que los bosques más nuevos son superiores en su capacidad para compensar las emisiones de carbono.
Pues no, los bosques primarios no emiten CO2 y los bosques jóvenes no almacenan más carbono.

In #PLOSOne: Annual cost only of dialysis exceeds 11% of the public health budget. To this we must add costs of hospitalization & treatment of comorbidities. Even still, not all CKD patients in #Ecuador have access to renal replacement therapy.

Not all provinces in #Ecuador have nephrologists while some only have them available in the private sector. Depending on their place of residence, patients may have to travel long distances to access dialysis services.

Comorbidities are common among CKD patients. Hospitalized patients had +2 comorbidities such as primary hypertension, type-II or type-I diabetes, other urinary tract disorders, heart failure & bacterial pneumonia.

1/ Un 🧶 sur cet #enfumage qu'est l'approche #OneHealth dans le contexte de la pandémie de #COVID19
Scientifiquement c'est léger et ça se résume à : "aimons nous tous entre êtres vivants"
Bref, faudrait rebaptiser ça #OneLove.
Qui serait contre ?

With Australia focused on controlling multiple COVID-19 outbreaks in 2021, cast your mind back to Melbourne mid-2020. In 8 weeks between 14 June & 10 August, Victoria recorded 13,078 cases of COVID-19 with daily cases peaking at 686 on 5th August - almost all in Melbourne. 1/11
In response: 1) ‘Stage 3’ restrictions - social venues shut, public gatherings barred, stay at home orders – were introduced in select areas on 1 July & across Melbourne on 8 July; 2) mandatory #masks introduced on 22 July; & 3) restrictions strengthened in early August. 2/11
What evolved in Melbourne in 2020 represents one of the most successful public health responses to COVID-19 globally. By October daily case numbers were mostly in single figures & in November no new cases were detected. So what was the turning point for Melbourne? 3/11
