Can we build a Parkinson’s lifestyle plan to 'change the game'? Trinh and colleagues describe in a new paper that just dropped in The Lancet Neurology how lifestyle interventions, especially physical activity, nutrition and stress management are quickly emerging as both symptom

New research shows SARS2 reinfection doesn’t “boost” your immunity - it narrows it. Each infection further imprints and restricts your T-cell diversity, making your immune response less adaptable over time. frontiersin.org/journals/immun…

🚨 MIT just humiliated every major AI lab and nobody’s talking about it. They built a new benchmark called WorldTest to see if AI actually understands the world… and the results are brutal. Even the biggest models Claude, Gemini 2.5 Pro, OpenAI o3 got crushed by humans.

We have some final numbers for the impact on Orthopedics as it relates to the final rule for the physician fee schedule. There is no other way to spin it other than the numbers are bleak for independent physicians. While employed physicians will see a 2.5% reduction across

Stopping Blood Thinners Before Surgery? Most people STILL get it wrong. Here’s the cleanest peri-op cheat-sheet you’ll read today 👇 1️⃣ VKA (Warfarin / Acenocoumarol) • Stop 5 days before • Bridge only if very high thrombotic risk • Restart: Day +1 (low-bleed) or Day +2
