Deploying lenacapavir will require rethinking who delivers HIV prevention, how it is financed, and what policy infrastructure must be built, and rebuilt, to match the science. | Forefront

Let other health care professionals help do the work that primary care physicians don’t have time to do, using the training they already have. | Forefront

So after my run-in with the chronic Lyme disease crowd on Twitter last week, I did some thinking about my use of the term "fake disease." Amazingly, a Twitter encounter led me to change my mind about how we refer to these bogus diagnoses. sciencebasedmedicine.org/fak…

Screening of healthcare workers for latent TB is a time- and labor-intensive annual flog* -- and, good news, is no longer recommended.
(*That's the official medical term.)

Yet another example of shorter is better. Add to our data showing efficacy of 7d for GNR bacteremia, 5d for CAP, 5d for cellulitis. Why such hesitancy to use durations proven over and over and over again to be effective? Misguided fear that abx are "safe" .
NEW 🔥 in CID
Short-course(median 9d) therapy had a similar odds of recurrent infection/death within 30 d as those receiving longer course(median 16d) for pseudomonas aeruginosa BSI. How Long is Long Enough? 🤔 @SIDPharm @accpinfdprn @BradSpellberg academic.oup.com/cid/advance…

Antibiotics are totally unique among drugs. FDA approved indications reflect inappropriate use. Appropriate use is off label. Maddening.

With the announcement in Davos from Hancock, UK is leading the world with antibiotic delinkage -- paying for value, not volume, because we want to hold new antibiotics in reserve but still create new ones for the future theguardian.com/society/2019…
If new #antibiotics are to be used sparingly or stored away for last use, why invest in their development? What incentives can persuade #pharma to re-engage in #drug development? Join @koutterson @CARB_X & Nina Grundmann @IFPMA at #EconAMR. Know more: goo.gl/G5onaD #AMR

Pharmacy students & PGY1s: Do you research who you're interviewing at prior to the interview? Research, pubs, presentations, former residents? If not WHY NOT?

Why do we use urine antigen tests to diagnose respiratory pathogens?
Patients admitted with pneumonia are often diagnosed with S pneumoniae or legionella based on a positive URINE test.
Let's try and figure out why we search the urine to identify lung pathogens.

Tennessee plans to execute David Miller tomorrow. I am urging Gov. @BillHaslam to grant clemency and stop this execution. David's jury did not know about his history of severe mental illness and appalling childhood abuse. The story that the jury never heard is deeply disturbing:

Maybe lost in the controversy about the embryo editing by CRISPR-Cas9 is the fact that these babies weren't at risk for HIV infection. So the rationale behind doing this was zero, despite the investigator's claims. Latest post: blogs.jwatch.org/hiv-id-obse… (h/t @tbold)

Ladies if he:
- is condescending about your methods and results
- Identified a spelling error on page 3 paragraph 2 line 4
- Takes a month to return his reviews
- Requests you cite his most recent paper
He’s not your man, he’s reviewer 2.
