Medical term of the day: Gender Dysphoria

Significant research among children, adolescents, & adults demonstrates that access to gender-affirming therapy and gender-affirming interventions greatly improves mental health, health outcomes, and saves lives. #TransHealthcare Image
We talked to Dr. Melina Wald about what it means to treat the whole person. Gender-affirming care is an evidence-based approach to health that is focused on instilling pride and celebration of gender diversity. columbiasurgery.org/news/what-gend… #ProtectTransYouth #TransIsBeautiful

Interesting @NYPost story—do street lamps cause thyroid cancer? We asked endocrinologist Dr. Pinar Smith to give perspective. Thread 1/6 nypost.com/2021/02/08/str…
"The article raises the question: does 'light at night' specifically means city lights? Could someone watching TV or using their computer/device at night also influence risk? Maybe the study could have also incorporated 'screen time' after dark as a variable." 2/6
Dr. Smith also reminds us to go to the source. The @NYPost story is based on a new study from authors like @cari_kitahara, whom Dr. Smith sees as an influential researcher in both thyroid disease and cancer epidemiology. 3/6 acsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…

Heart failure deaths are increasing rapidly, and one key factor in the rise? The majority of treatment in the U.S. is stuck in the past, most physicians' mindsets haven't evolved. (thread)

Part 1 of an interview with @NirUrielMD not to miss: columbiasurgery.org/news/state-uni… #HeartMonth
"You know, [the rise in heart failure deaths] is a critical question not enough people are addressing," says @NirUrielMD. "Heart failure historically was a disease that a primary physician or cardiologist could treat, or theoretically, every doctor could. But it's evolved."
"Instead, [the majority of physicians] think they can take care of these patients, and when they identify that they cannot anymore and the patient is too sick, they offer the patient hospice care. Yet that patient missed out on the near entirety of treatment," says @NirUrielMD.
