GHOLAM’S TOP 10 WORST MAJOR AMERICAN AIRPORTS: 10. BOS for an airport literally located 2 miles away from city center, you would think it would be incredibly convenient. IT ISN’T! Remarkably sparse for an airport its size and usually smells bad. (1/10)

One of the biggest grievances of the American far right is that “the elites and academics” have a biased and extreme agenda which dominates scientific and teaching thought. They are absolutely right but there has to be a reason for this.

Thanks to gastroenterology and hepatology colleague sen. Bill Cassidy for stating what needs to be said. We may differ on many issues but standing up for science and public health these days is an act of political courage #medsky #gisky #liversky

It’s interesting how we in the US are even politicizing this issue. The source of course is now suspect in the eyes of some and the former surgeon general is just that… #medtwitter #livertwitter

The first RCT that I am aware of that seems to indicate that #semaglutide may be an effective rx for alcohol use disorder. Larger studies to confirm needed. #medsky #liversky

If you attended the AASLD liver meeting at the turn of the millennium, this building will look very familiar. You may still be in need of therapy 25 years later! #liversky

Needless to say the future of western civilization will depend on the results of the #retatrutide data (I’m being facetious) #medsky #gisky #liversky

As a steroid nihilist, I’m happy to read this. My interpretation of the AHFIRM data is that #larsucosterol works for severe alcohol associated hepatitis. I don’t love the primary endpoint but hey…I will take 30-50% 90 day mortality ⬇️ any day. This is literally all i see on service. #liversky

I guess incretins reduce your craving for things other than alcohol? This is obviously an N=1 I am not aware of any work on incretins and libido.

HFpEF is likely the next @fda.gov approved indication for #tirzepatide and other incretins. I guestimate 50% of Americans will have an FDA approved indication for one by 2028 #medsky #liversky

EPIC rant #43789 Attending on an acute care service at a hospital means the buck stops with you but… Unlimited access through epic chat is counterproductive, promotes burnout and does not improve care. #medsky #gisky #liversky

Interesting work looking at risk factors for variceal bleeding in #HCC Patients on #atezolizumab #bevacizumab Confirms that main PVT is a major risk factor with was shown in IM-BRAVE 150. The other risk factors identified are self evident #liversky

How does suspending healthcare benefits to the most vulnerable among us: our safety net facilities, FQHCs & County hospitals help Americans thrive and stay healthy? What happens to those who work hard to take care of the poor and the infirm and their families? Sheer cruelty and absurdity…

Great news for persons w/ #MASH cirrhosis in this ph2b study of #efruxifermin Thoughts: 🤞it is a fair statement that longer rx may yield better results but that remains to be proven the authors are to be 👏 for presenting ITT data. MASH studies needs to move away from “completer” analyses #liversky

Today marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of #Auschwitz The site where 1.1 million innocents were slaughtered in cold blood. From #Armenia to Cambodia to #Sarajevo to our own Capitol, lest we forget the consequences of “othering”, dehumanizing and excluding.

Interesting in that #amycretin is a dual amylin/GLP-1 analog unlike #cagrisema which contains 2 separate analogs. Results in ph2 comparable to #retatrutide for TBW Loss and planned for both sc and PO #liversky #medsky
