Scientists just found rare ancient DNA evidence that resolves a 500-year-old murder mystery. Rather than poison, the Grand Duke Francesco de Medici likely died of malaria. His bones help reveal how the deadly parasite once ravaged Italy. #Archaeology #aDNA 🏺🧪 New at @science.org

Ancient DNA solves Medici murder mystery

Malaria, not poisoning, killed a prominent 16th century duke

Great case highlighting utility of metanephrines with AVS in a patient with PA and hypercortisolism (MACS). Traditional AVS uses the aldo:cortisol ratio which is confounded if an adenoma co-secretes cortisol. tinyurl.com/yvhwpt75 @bhallaresearch.bsky.social Always check 1mg DST in PA+adenoma!

Congratulations to the #StanDOM recipients of the 2025 Stanford Medicine Awards, who were recognized for their outstanding contributions to medical education & leadership during the June 14 @stanfordmedicine.bsky.social graduation.

Atul Butte died yesterday. The world lost a giant. A big bear of a man. With a huge smile. With love for everyone. With energy that could power a room. I loved everything about Atul. I loved how he was always happy. I loved how excited he was about science and helping people.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.

In the Advance-HTN phase 2b trial of the aldosterone synthase inhibitor lorundrostat in participants with uncontrolled hypertension, lorundrostat was associated with greater reductions in blood pressure than placebo. Full trial results: nej.md/4ipbCIf #MedSky #CardioSky

Kidney disease should be recognised on WHO's priority list of non-communicable diseases, alongside cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes https://go.nature.com/4lLJ5iY

Kidney disease is a worldwide killer. Treat it that way

The international community has a golden opportunity to start reining in the escalating, mostly ignored global burden of chronic kidney disease.

The Women's Health Initiative is one of the most impactful studies in US history. It's been ongoing since the '90s, continually providing new insights, and NIH is cutting funding. Regional Centers are being closed. The Clinical Coordinating Center is now in limbo. For what? Utterly asinine... 🤬

We are in a 3-4 week shortage of chlorthalidone in Canada now (Doing a bunch of HCTZ or Indapamide subs) Are others seeing it too? What’s the cause - usual one global manufacturer? #NephSky #MedSky #PharmSky
