Can a ketogenic diet help the symptoms of a hard-core neurodegenerative disorder like Huntington's disease? Let's see what a published case study found. 🧵 (1/16)
Huntington's disease (HD) is a genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the huntingtin (HTT) gene, which produces a toxic protein that damages nerve cells in the brain. (2/16)
HD is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, meaning that a person only needs one copy of the mutated gene from either parent to develop the disease. (3/16)
#Valproate (VPT) is still more efficacious and more cost-effective as compared to #levetiracetam (LEV) for treating generalized #Epilepsy (GE)
1. I see an increasing trend for prescribing LEV in emergency room, ICU & OPD for GE

2. In a recent study, LEV was found to be inferior for times to treatment failure, 2-year remission from seizures, and first subsequent seizure. In addition, LEV was not found to be a cost-effective alternative.
3. This is despite the fact the LEV is associated with a higher incidence of #psychiatric and #behavioral adverse effects.
This is a major problem in #ICU patients, as it adds to the burden of patients with #psychosis in ICU.

many may not believe this. They may find it unbelievable. I don’t. I have watched my daughter deal with the exact same abuses bc she is prescribed #opioids, bc she also has complex #medical conditions & PTSD. 1

I never know when she has a medical crisis and needs the hospital IF she will need to interact w a personnel or professional whose #biases interfere with care. These incidences can be shaming, demeaning or they can put her life at risk. My daughter has had hypoglycemic crises 2/
at @SanfordHealth where the nurses refused to check her #bloodsugars because ‘it is anxiety’ or ‘she just ate’. Even when I intervened over phone & pleaded, nurses refused to point I had to reach out to #housesupervisor. While I’ve reached out multiple times to @SanfordHealth 3/

This study followed prior work by @Dr_Epel, me & team, which showed the #prenatal #intervention: reduced women’s stress & depression, increased physical activity, lowered diabetes risk. Here, we tested whether these health benefits extended to the developing child. 3/

A thread: How I prepared for a #tech role in #FAANG—
1. Technical preparation of #python and #SQL
2. Behavioral and cultural screen with @Latesha_Byrd
3. Deep dive on department domain and current tools and techniques
1. Technical preparation of #python and #SQL
2. Behavioral and cultural screen with @Latesha_Byrd
3. Deep dive on department domain and current tools and techniques
Technical preparation included practicing @LeetCode and @CodeSignalCom for #SQL and #python. I started to time myself and also spoke out loud what I was doing and why to get familiar with #whiteboarding etiquette. I also had my friends mock interview me.
I also utilized @TeamBatcode for more #python practice with primitive #datastructures and #Algorithms. It was consistent practice while talking out loud. I probably worked through about 50-60 problems.
I need your help. I want to know from modellers in all areas what we need from a (any) Government #COVIDー19 model (which will predict numbers and timing of infections and will drive national policy). Please share and we will croudsource a requirements list
I'd like to crowd source our requirements for the model (parameters, validation, assumptions, code) - and I'd like to help from all #modelling ( #simulation / #economic / #policy / #epidemiological / #behavioral ) experts in putting together our requirements. I'll start.
I want to know what objective function is being maximized. @MattHancock

A few strategies to run a better meeting discussed in the podcast:
1. Open meeting with 5-10min of connecting people
2. Dedicate the first few minutes for people to review the notes that are circulated (that no one usually reads)

3. Design meeting content to focus on conflict of ideas (stuff that couldn't happen via email). Cultivate discussion, not reviewing content.
4. Acknowledge Parkinson's Law - work expands to the time allotted to it. Stop making meetings 1hr. Make them less.
