How far do investments in health Research & Development align with global public health demands and needs?

Check out the WHO Global Observatory
👉bit.ly/2KjkqT0
@WHOAFRO @WHO_Europe @WHOSEARO @WHOEMRO @pahowho @WHOWPRO @DrTedros @doctorsoumya 1% of all funding for health R&D is allocated to diseases such as #malaria and #tuberculosis which account for more than 12.5% of the global burden of disease.

The recent outbreaks of #Ebola virus disease dramatically exposed the lack of investment in products and approaches to prevent and minimize the impact of pathogens with epidemic potential. 👉bit.ly/2KjkqT0
@WHOAFRO @WHO_Europe @WHOSEARO @pahowho @WHOEMRO @WHOWPRO @DrTedros @doctorsoumya Gaps in R&D investments and the pipeline for antimicrobial medicines have triggered global concern in the context of rapidly increasing #AntimicrobialResistance.

WHO Chief Scientist @doctorsoumya explains that the latest WHO Observatory data show:
➡There are 14 999 products currently in a clinical phase of development 👉bit.ly/2OGc8ZH
Out of 14999 products in development:
➡13,004 are to #BeatNCDs, predominantly for #cancer
➡ 1,319 are for communicable, maternal, perinatal and nutritional conditions

We all know someone suffering from:

Cancer
Diabetes
Lung disease
Heart diseases
Stroke

These noncommunicable diseases are the 🌍's biggest killers, responsible for 7 out of every 10 deaths worldwide.

We need your help to #BeatNCDs!
Tobacco. 🚬
Alcohol. 🍻
Air pollution. 🏭
Unhealthy diet. 🍔
Physical inactivity. 🛋️

These are the main NCDs risks.

Let's STOP them.
Let's #BeatNCDs.
@pahowho @WHOWPRO @WHOSEARO @WHOEMRO @WHO_Europe @WHOAFRO Noncommunicable diseases kill 41 million people prematurely every year, many of them in the prime of life.

41 MILLION lives.
41 MILLION families affected.

But we could save nearly 10 million lives by 2025. Let's #BeatNCDs

Today is #IndigenousPeoplesDay.

Care provided in the community, by the community is the best way to achieve #HealthForAll.

This is how Budyari 🏥 is working with one of #Australia’s indigenous communities to make sure people get the care they need when they need it.
DYK: Too often Indigenous peoples do not have the same access to health care as other populations.

#PrimaryHealthCare is all about equity & making services available to everyone at all ages, right in their community.

#IndigenousPeoplesDay
Indigenous peoples have their own cultures, languages – and health needs. In #Australia, indigenous populations have a significantly lower life expectancy than non-indigenous populations. Prevention and health promotion in the community can help change this. #HealthForAll

@CPSolvers
1/ A quick glance at the foot of the bed unravels a rare answer to a common complaint... another #tweetorial to sharpen our #clinicalreasoning skills, #medtwitter! Try to solve this mystery case and see if you can... nail it!
2/ A 58 year-old man presented with gradual, progressive dyspnea. Two months ago he had no trouble ambulating, now he is limited to several blocks.
3/ Take a mental pause here to practice how you might approach “dyspnea”, and then listen to @BBroderickMD take us through it: bit.ly/32fCXXr

New research by @NRMA observed that 36% of pedestrians in the Sydney area crossed the street while distracted by their smartphones (i.e., in a "smombie", or "smart phone zombie", state). Kudos to them for raising awareness of the dangers: mynr.ma/2JCSY2p
(thread, 1/9)
As road safety expert @dimitra__V notes, "distracted walking is a form of inattentional blindness" (IB). This is a well documented, common phenomenon where people who are distracted fail to see things that should otherwise be obvious (e.g., an oncoming car).
2/9
The most famous demonstration of IB comes from a paper by @profsimons & @cfchabris (bit.ly/2XMiScA). The demo can be found here: bit.ly/32wEk48
If that didn't work (bc you're too familiar with it), try this one: bit.ly/30tIt74

Citation counts come from OTHER RESEARCHERS. They are important, yes.

But, sharing #science on #SoMe=broad & instantaneous dissemination to those who focus their time AT THE BEDSIDE. Which may surprise some- but is MOST OF MEDICINE especially....#anesthesiology.(Thread) #AUA2019
A metric like the “Kardashian Index” *MAY* be relevant in genome biology where the proportion of basic/translational science is significantly higher and no immediate bedside application for a general practitioner is there. (and I’m making an assumption here) #medtwitter #aua2019
When your #research is relevant primarily to other #scientists who are also writing research papers then citation counts do more wholly reflect the paper’s impact. But in clinical research, it’s different. Bedside clinicians are looking to the literature for guidance & new ideas.

THREAD:

When educators talk "core knowledge," or "standards" or "sharing the best of our culture," ask yourself:

Whose knowledge? Whose standards? Whose culture?

What are we required to remember? What are we required to forget?
bit.ly/2C31h42
In E.D. Hirsch's Core Knowledge test, "What Your Kindergartener Needs to Know," 5-year-olds are required to learn that Christopher Columbus was "a dreamer, with big ideas!"

And great hair!
They're not, of course, required to learn what Columbus actually did.
