@russell_doc interesting discussion on @thelimbicresp CPD summary regarding ACOS. Interested to know how you would code such a patient? Database research relies on such. Is there an "eosinophilic reversible airways disease with persistent obstruction on treatment" code? 1/2

In 1972, the Amsterdam neighbourhood of De Pijp saw clashes between parents who wanted safer streets for kids and drivers who wanted to cut through.
I went to visit yesterday, 51 years later.
The traffic filters and playgrounds remain. It is a place many people want to live. 🧵

An incredibly important piece of work again from @CochraneTAG. ☑️ supports uk approach to vaping as a treatment ☑️ highlights the urgency with which we need cytisine available in the UK ☑️ highlights why we need varenicline back ☑️ why all clinicians must prescribe medications
Headline results of our new @cochranecollab review of #quitsmoking aids are that ecigs, cytisine and varenicline give people the best chances of quitting, closely followed by using 2 types of NRT e.g. patch & gum. For more detail click here: shorturl.at/kADP7

Remember this picture every single time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam."
This was #Amsterdam in the 1970s, via @fietsprofessor.
The cities we admire made better choices regarding cars, and are still making them today.
Better choices instead of excuses.

South America is living one of the extreme events the world has ever seen
Unbelievable temperatures up to 38.9C in the Chilean Andine areas in mid winter ! Much more than what Southern Europe just had in mid summer at the same elevation: This event is rewriting all climatic books
