  1. A positive use of AI.

    An anaesthetist used AI to review medical journals and was able to hypothesise that a drug for Parkinson's Disease had caused vitamin B6 deficiency in his dying mother.

    After the vitamin was administered, his mother began to recover.

    Further study needed to confirm cause and effect, and rule out coincidence.

    TITLE: Opinion: Claude analyzed my genome in 30 minutes. Now we need standards for the results

    URL: statnews.com/2026/10/01/claude

    Unpacking from vacation a couple months back, I decided to give artificial intelligence a task. I paused folding my laundry, sat down with Claude, and asked it to analyze the entirety of my genome.

    Back in 2009, this was a task that quite literally took a village of 30 people — including me — working together to interpret the whole genome sequence of a colleague, friend, and fellow scientist named Stephen Quake. This endeavor brought together experts in genetics, computer science, pharmacology, and clinical medicine.

  11. "If anyone [...] eats any blood, I will set my face against that person who eats blood, and will cut that person off from the people." Leviticus 17:10

    This was one of the bible verses that #JehovahsWitnesses have used until recently to justify forbidden #blood transfusions. They interpreted the verse to me that taking blood is not trusting god to save them.

    In September 2026, however, the #doctrine has been changed to now allow all but whole blood transfusions based on the believer's conciousness.

    This isn't the first time the Witnesses have changed their tune. During the 70s, organ transplants were prohibited, & until 2000 blood donations.

    Here's to all those who died prior to the doctrine change.

  21. Some autoantibodies against neuronal targets found in people with #LongCovid but no specific signature....it's heterogeneous.

    Not surprised at all by this finding. ME/CFS and long covid have an autoimmune component but they are not classic autoimmune diseases like MS or myasthenia gravis, which have specific autoantibodies associated with them. They're illnesses of a more heterogeneous immune dysfunction.

    TITLE: STAT+: HHS announces new efforts to speed up, expand clinical trials with AI

    URL: statnews.com/2026/09/30/hhs-ar

    WASHINGTON — The Department of Health and Human Services announced a set of new initiatives aimed at speeding up clinical trials by incorporating more AI and computational models and moving away from sharply delineated trial phases. 

    The centerpiece five-year program, dubbed SURPASS — “Simulation-augmented, Real-time Platform Adaptive Seamless Trials” — will kick off later this fall by accepting “ground-breaking ideas from cross-disciplinary teams in statistics, AI, and clinical trial design, operations, and regulation,” reads a website about the program. 

    HHS is launching the program through the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health. The initial announcement did not note how much funding was designated for the new initiatives. Nor did it provide details on whether participants would be offered more flexibility or resources.
