Hoy que es el día contra el cáncer de mama viene bien recordar algo impopular: sabemos que la autoexploración mamaria periódica es perjudicial. No neutra, no, perjudicial: no mejora en nada la mortalidad por cáncer de mama y aumenta biopsias innecesarias, estrés, pruebas, etc.

La derecha mediática no tiene remedio. Están en juego medidas con un impacto severo en el problema de la vivienda, y se dedican a la chismografía emocional y al cotilleo, con la estúpida y vana esperanza de que el núcleo del asunto y las posiciones al respecto vayan a cambiar por ello.
Vecinos del Retiro niegan el relato de la pobre Maricarmen: el pastelero dice que viajaba mucho, dejaba compras a deber por ser funcionaria y prestó la llave para saltar a la azotea de al lado
Otra residente cuenta que iba bastante al bingo y rechazó un piso ofertado no muy lejos
Una vecina la llama déspota, asegura que tiene machacado al portero y recuerda que ninguna persona del edificio salió a apoyarla el día de la manifestación elespanol.com/reportajes/202…

Prácticamente todas las respuestas están mal: ni sulfato de magnesio ni labetalol.

Big headlines the other week about this huge (1.8 million people, 3 continents! Wow!) study out of Oxford looking at the effect of different diets on cancer risk. Vegetarianism cures cancer!!!
Just one problem. That's not what the data show.
The study (nature.com/articles/s41416-0…) makes it's big claims based on unadjusted p-values (that aren't even numerically reported anywhere in the main paper).
But as anyone with a brain knows, performing 80 different hypothesis tests is bound to produce some false positives. The authors adjust for false discoveries, but don't really take it into account when discussing their data. They also perform sensitivity analysis, but again ignore the findings when discussing their results.
Journalists then picked up the narrative-convenient "significant" findings (while simultaneously ignoring inconvenient significant findings):
BBC, Sky News, The Independent all reported the same claim: "A vegetarian diet can slash the risk of five types of cancer by as much as 30%, a new study has found.”
Okay. But of the original 11 nominally significant findings in study, which made it through both multiple comparisons adjustment and sensitivity analysis?
Just the one.
Which one?
Risk of oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma in vegetarians versus meat eaters. HR=1.93 (95% CI: 1.30-2.87). Yup.

The VCI score adds nothing to airway documentation.
Why does everything have to be reduced to an incomprehensible code? Why do we need a different system for documenting direct & indirect view? Why would anyone use POGO to document view when all it does is distinguish (w high inter-rater reliability!) bw degrees of easy view but loses all discriminatory value about anything the next person would actually want to know (CL 2b, 3a, 3b & 4 are all POGO zero).

This is unfathomably absurd.
1) Fabricate a teaching case on neonatal opioid toxicity
2) Publish it as though it is a real case report
3) Watch it get cited in a court case and a doctoral thesis
4) Years later, casually admit in a taxi: “Oh, we made it up.”
The official journal of the Canadian Paediatric Society has just acknowledged that more than 100 of its case reports are fabricated. Incredible reporting from @RetractionWatch: retractionwatch.com/2026/03/…

See what happens when #ThePitt meets the Queen of Hearts.
This EKG was shown on the Pitt and interpreted as negative. But we caught it and put it through the queen. She of course diagnosed the OMI perfectly.
What happens when you don’t trust your interns, or the Queen of Hearts?

I feel so bad for Noam Chomsky. He is constantly getting slandered by dishonest critics who engage in inexcusable tactics like quoting things he said word-for-word

It is generally true that high-IQ people fit in *better* with society.
There's a sort of Hollywood-affected cope that the opposite is true.
I suspect the trope is mostly pushed by people who think they're smart, but who feel like losers and want a self-adulating explanation.
i refuse to believe people with high IQs struggle to fit in with society.
You’re essentially playing a game, and you’re trying to say the smartest people playing the game, can’t figure out how to play it?
It makes no sense, likely comes from people who think they’re smarter than they are and are struggling.

Because “insulin level” is not a validated clinical endpoint—cholesterol is.
• Fasting insulin has no standardized cutoff that predicts heart disease across populations.
• It varies wildly day-to-day, by assay, stress, sleep, and recent meals.
• There is no randomized trial showing that treating to an “insulin target” reduces cardiovascular events.
Meanwhile:
• LDL-C, non-HDL-C, ApoB are causal in atherosclerosis.
• Lowering them consistently reduces heart attacks, strokes, and death in RCTs.
• That’s why every major guideline uses them.
Yes—insulin resistance and diabetes massively raise risk (as WHI and others show).
That’s why doctors screen with A1c, fasting glucose, OGTT, and treat the condition, not a noisy hormone snapshot.
Checking insulin without an action plan is data cosplay, not medicine.
If insulin levels predicted outcomes better and treating them saved lives—we’d already be doing it.
Evidence decides. Not vibes.

🇲🇽 | Asesinan a Carlos Manzo, alcalde de Uruapan, del estado mexicano de Michoacán.
Durante meses, el alcalde había estado grabando transmisiones en directo, pidiendo a la presidenta Claudia Sheinbaum que le ayudara a combatir a los cárteles en su ciudad.
Había lanzado una importante operación de seguridad contra ellos y solicitado refuerzos del ejército y del Estado. Posteriormente, criticó con frecuencia a Sheinbaum por su inacción contra el crimen organizado.
Se le consideraba alguien que podía desafiar a Sheinbaum en las próximas elecciones presidenciales de 2030 (ambos pertenecían al mismo partido, Morena).
El sábado por la tarde fue asesinado a tiros mientras celebraba el Día de los Muertos con su hijo pequeño y su esposa, reporta Visegrád.

Entiendo que la idea sería ahogar a todos los ciclistas en caso de inundación y salvar a las personas.
