OK, everyone. Let’s try to get this trending.
If you’re disgusted at Dublin City Council trying to erase Irish Jewish history and want to help the tiny Jewish community here in some way, please do quote tweet with the hashtag: #HandsOffHerzogPark
Let it be known Irish Jewry is seen and supported 🫶🏼

Great to work with my @UCSFDOM colleagues on this work, illustrating the importance of safety and effectiveness data before clinical use and ideally, before @FDADeviceInfo approval.
In a new Perspective, Benjamin Hyams, BA, Karla Kerlikowske, MD, and Rita F. Redberg, MD (@RFRedberg), write that AI mammography aids are being sold as additions to mammography screening, with direct-to-consumer marketing touting improved cancer-detection rates, despite a lack of evidence of clinical effectiveness.

well said. i am so sad. Holly was an inspirational person, colleague and friend. May her memory be a blessing.
With great sadness, I note the death of my friend & colleague Holly Humphrey, CEO of @macyfoundation. Holly's career was a model of integrity, grace, and joy, and her influence on medical training – and thousands of trainees – was profound. Rest in peace.

✨Premarket approval: highest evidence requirement but lacking- no randomization, use of surrogate endpoints
✨very few sham comparison of devices
✨510k premarket notification- just had to show equivalence and is not intended to evaluate safety or effectiveness

Patients lives don’t stop for a blanking period. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/article…
@AndrewFoy82 @MRuzieh
It’s time to jettison the blanking period altogether #ACC25 #ehra25
Lukas Urbanek at the Young Investigator Award about Blanking times in PFA:
➡️ In PFA, too, ERAT predicts long-term recurrence
➡️ 2 months blanking period may be still too long for PFA
➡️ Appropriate blanking time for PFA may be 4 weeks or less
