#cardiomastodon EPA-based therapeutics appear to offer a major advance in #CVD risk reduction that adds to the protection afforded by #statins. REDUCE-IT demonstrated that high doses of a highly purified ethyl ester of EPA, icosapent ethyl, provided large relative and absolute risk reductions in #CVD mortality , #myocardialinfarction, #stroke, hospitalization for #unstableangina, and coronary revascularization in at-risk patients with triglycerides above ≈100 mg/dL despite therapy with statins…

Ultra-processed food.
“Stark new research … exposes a ‘tidal wave of harm’ being caused directly by UPF. …
Almost every food that comes with a health claim on the packet is UPF.”
Maybe good food doesn’t have to be labelled “Healthy!!”
LIke people introducing themselves, “I’m not a liar.’

Truly amazing. A brain implant allowed a woman to speak again.
"We're making up for the connections between the brain and vocal tract that have been severed by the stroke," said Kaylo Littlejohn, a graduate student working with Chang and Gopala Anumanchipalli, PhD, a professor of electrical engineering and computer sciences at UC Berkeley.

I had a #stroke back in Jan 2019 which, at this point, leaves me with some weakness and dis-coordination in my right side, including my hand. About two years later I'd try getting into #fightinggames. Since then, it's been an interesting journey of trying to figure out a good controller as I have trouble using just my thumb for pressing the face buttons on a standard pad. I've found a good control scheme to play with since then but holy shit are pads near universally awful quality. #videogames
