Summer heat doesn’t just affect ur body, it can also degrade ur medications. Leaving prescriptions in hot cars, gym bags or direct sunlight can destroy their potency & leave u unprotected when u need them most. If u take daily or long-term meds, take a moment to review their storage limits & protect them with these essential tips. Like, Share & Follow for more content like this! 👨‍⚕️

1. During the day, close any blinds & curtains that face the sun.

2. If u can, use electric fans, but don't point them directly at urself as this can cause dehydration.

3. Turn off any lights & electrical equipment that ur not using. If possible, cook at cooler times of the day.

4. When the air outside feels cooler then inside, open some windows to help create some airflow in ur home. #heat #heatwave #summer #health #healthcare #healthtips #MedMastodon

Also guys / people who don't get periods need the HPV vaccine too. It's a virus: Human Papilloma Virus effects are not restricted to one organ.

Relevant period advice:

I strongly recommend telling all docs about CareVix (a suction tool, not stabby or piercing) and YonaCare speculum.

I need translation for an easier ecosia search.
How do allistic people describe "nauseous above knee"?
It's like the 2 or 3 inches above the top of my right kneecap.
I'm literally only getting separate results for "feeling sick" and "knee / joint pain".
The area above my kneecap feels nausea. How tf do I research that?

What happens if you boost a toot from a Mastodon server that has gone offline (perhaps forever)? Does it work as normal, unless you try to visit the original website? Or do weird things break?

Below I will link to the test toot (that is currently unreachable). Next I will boost it.

Very nice PhD thesis defense today by Sascha Keij, congratulations! 🥳

"Patient readiness for shared decision making about disease"

‼️ Not all patients are ready!
✅ Older people are not less ready
❓ Which (older) people are ready?

Lots of research yet to do!

Circumcision in HIV-infected men and its effect on HIV transmission to female partners in Rakai, Uganda: a randomised controlled trial

RCT of #circumcision stopped because of futility. Circumcision does not prevent male-to-female HIV transmission

Had a great day 2 days ago at the #Leidse #Ouderengeneeskunde Dagen at the #LUMC: a full day of reflecting on care for older people with 350+ GPs, elderly care physicians, #geriatricians and #nurses.

And we were lucky to have older people themselves on the front row joining in on our discussions! Thanks to all who participated!

Pretty awkward that the #AAP has a policy on Female Genital Mutilation! I guess we should be skeptical of the AAP.

The more urologists fight to defend forced circumcision, the more they repeat harmful tropes and devalue consent and autonomy.

He calls himself sex positive, but you can't be sex positive while also policing the feelings of boys and men about their own bodies. It's just toxic masculinity.

End of episode 3/beginning of episode 4 of #Painkillers on #Netflix, and the tears just started pouring. Anyone else watching? It doesn’t seem to matter how many stories I hear, articles or books I read, or shows I watch…nothing can fully capture the scope of what the Sackler family’s greed did. #PublicHealth #MedMastodon

Notoriously difficult to disentangle mortality attributed to #clostridium #difficile and other co-morbidities.

Either way, it's not good to get #Cdiff

In the 12 years since Makena was fast-tracked by the FDA, about 350,000 patients received pricey injections to prevent premature birth, a major health issue facing children and families.

There was just one problem: there’s no evidence Makena actually works. My latest for @TheGuardian

The COCARETTE was a cigarette made with coca & tobacco leaves, c.1885. The company claimed that coca was “the finest nerve tonic and exhilarator ever discovered.”

The decellularized GHOST HEART is created by stripping living cells from a pig’s heart. Researchers at the Texas Heart Institute hope that one day it could serve as a scaffold upon which to grow a working heart from human stem cells.

Can I buy all the tools needed for an IV from a #medical supply shop online? I am in #Australia.

I need: An IV set, #Hartmanns Solution, and #Magnesium Sulphate Heptahydrate (will have prescription). Do I really need an IV stand? Can’t they hook the bag up to something else? They’re expensive for a pole with wheels!

I can get (pay) a registered #nurse to come over and do it as long as materials, #medication, and instructions are provided. (Nobody has volunteered so far although I would pay you because I’d rather all the money go to you than be sucked up by an agency. Still looking for anyone licensed to do IVs. #Nurses #NursePractitioner #GPs #Doctors #Paramedics #Phlebotomists …)

My GP should be arranging this but he’s a raging arsehole so I have to do everything myself.

If you're #scicurious but aren't in a scientific field, feel free to reach out and ask about peer reviewed studies and trusted references.

Remember: Toot responsibly!
