Sad news that David Hockney has passed. Lucky enough to have gone to Saltaire Salt’sMill several times to appreciate his art. Also highly recommend his immersive art installation which has been in Manchester and London

I and @independentsage.bsky.social advocated kids vax vs SARS2 since day 1.
Even when transiently available to u12s, they were sold as a damp squib by those in authority.
As vax coverage dwindles, the lack of foresight gets harder to reconcile.
#LongCovidKids is a major neglected issue 💔
My friends and I were reflecting that Madonna’s new video gives a whole new meaning to saying- I will just use my pointer- when giving a presentation.
Welcome news that there will be a vax campaign this autumn for final year college students and 1st year university students for Meningitis B. Only a one off though. Possibly due to cost constraints?
Excited to share our systematic review of the clinical features of metastatic Crohns disease (MCD). Many patients with Crohns - a type of IBD develop symptoms outside of the gut- most commonly the skin. 🧪🧵#IBD
The condition was most common in younger women and had a severe impact on their quality of life. We strongly suspect this condition is under-recognised and diagnosed- not helped by the fact it has multiple names eg genital Crohn’s, vulval Crohn’s,cutaneous Crohn’s …
MCD is a serious condition linked to Crohns that is poorly recognised and understood. Shockingly our research revealed that around one third of patients developed this condition before Crohn’s was apparent or diagnosed.
..and our research showed patients will first present at a variety of disciplines eg urology, dermatology, gastroenterology, gynaecology. We are researching this serious condition and really hope this paper helps raise awareness of the condition. Do read and share please!
