does anybody know a good history of medicine that covers the era when laboratory tests became more common? specifically i’m looking for something that would cover/go into detail about how reference ranges for “normal” lab results were determined.

Today, reporters covering the Pentagon had their credentials confiscated — all for refusing to sign a policy that threatens press freedom. This isn’t just about journalists. It’s about democracy, transparency, and your right to know. ✊ #BlueSky #NewsSky #MedSky

Touching this bird can result in numbness & tingling in extremities. Eating it can result in paralysis or death ☠️.

Let's talk about neurotoxic birds 🐦.

A bird with black head and wings but red-orange body is slightly annoyed to be touched by a human hand, beak semi-open in protest, as if about to complain. In the background is a lush forest scene.

People aren’t necessarily safe in your state because more people voted blue. Bigotry is ubiquitous. Keep your eyes open.

NHANES runs mobile clinics that travel the country measuring height, weight, & blood pressure while collecting blood and urine samples. These samples are our only national source for tracking everything from blood sugar to hormones, heavy metals, and more.

The entire operation has been eliminated.

Kevin C Klatt, PhD, RD @kcklatt.bsky.social · 1d

Everyone across biomedicine should be very loud about this so this team's RIF status gets reversed. Nhanes has been key for tracking obesity & diabetes rates, identifying high blood lead levels in kids in the 70s, tracking progress on cholesterol lowering, guiding nutrient fortification programs etc

“It’s devastating, and it will be very, very difficult for the survey to continue with this group gone because as valuable and as important as the other people are, they don’t have the understanding and the experience of running the survey with the contractors in the field on a day-to-day basis.”

They just killed NHANES.

Every US public health student learns about this study.

It’s given us all sorts of important knowledge about the health of Americans and they just ended it.

Ugh... This study has existed for decades, providing valuable health data for all sorts of topics and publications. This is just more awful news. 🛟😷 Sociology medsky

CDC team running top survey on health and nutrition is laid off

NHANES has collected data on eating patterns, diabetes, and other common diseases for decades. The CDC team that runs it has been fired.

I’m too online. I thought this said Artificial Gender Intelligence and the OP was afraid. Which made some sense bc what is Artificial Gender? Not that I would be against it but how would it have Intelligence that non-Artificial Genders didn’t have - and that’s where I knew to reread.

Adelita Grijalva won her Congressional race fair and square THREE WEEKS ago.

Mike Johnson’s refusal to seat her is an absolute disgrace.

Seat her now. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Who is Adelita Grijalva and why hasn't she been sworn in to Congress yet?

Democrats are ramping up the pressure on House Speaker Mike Johnson to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva, an Arizona Democrat who won a special election last month to succeed her late father.
