Ken Paxton keeps dodging debates.
So I called his cell to invite him to a debate on Fox News.
He didn’t pick up.

First single-center cohort of athletes w/ ACM empowered to return-to-play & remain athletes. They had higher rates of adverse cardiac events & disease progression than athletes w/ other genetic heart diseases. Further study is needed jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacep… #JACCCEP #SportsCardio

These letters are the tip of the iceberg of the prob w CHAMPION (and OPTION, btw)
CHAMPION will be used in EBM classes as an eg of biased design and interpretation
A colossal embarrassment for the academics involved
Note what BSX stock did the Monday after the *positive* trial was presented

Published in the NEJM, three letters raise important points about CHAMPION-AF:
1) The primary endpoint includes cardiovascular death (42% of events), which is a “dilutive” component that does not characterize either treatment arm and favors a finding of noninferiority.
2) Focusing on ischemic stroke reveals a hazard ratio of 1.61 (95% CI, 1.00–2.59), with no difference in hemorrhagic stroke. This is somewhat the opposite of what one would expect from percutaneous LAAC.
3) The number of events was so much lower than anticipated that, while maintaining the same noninferiority margin, the trial effectively allowed a doubling of events while still declaring noninferiority.
4) It is inappropriate to consider the risk of intracranial hemorrhage solely as a function of oral anticoagulant exposure, while ignoring predisposing structural conditions such as cerebral amyloid angiopathy.

The 3 reasons why AI won't reduce clinician jobs:
—Jevon's paradox (more efficiency, more use)
—"Lump of labor" fallacy (the type of work changes)
—Tasks ≠ Skills

Analyst: There's a real chance of history being made in Texas. The polling at this point is as good for Democrats as it has been at any point this century.
James Talarico is up by 5 points and the reason why is among independents. Talarico with a 36-point advantage.
This is potentially a real history maker as this seat has been held by a Republican this entire century. No Democrat has won any Senate race in Texas since 1988.

.@JamesTalarico: Scripture tells us that you can’t love God and hate other people. You can’t love God and abuse the immigrant. You can’t love God and oppress the poor. Matthew 25 tells us Christians exactly how we’re going to be judged — by feeding the hungry, by healing the sick, by welcoming the stranger.
I often wonder what would Jesus do if he visited the US Senate. I think he would tell the senators on the floor, ‘Depart from me, for I was hungry and you cut my food assistance. I was sick and you kicked me off Medicaid. I was a stranger and you deported me and my family.’
And then I think he would flip over those fancy desks on the floor of the US Senate and demand that we take care of all of our neighbors — especially the least of these.
