This is what we were waiting for. A direct comparison between apixaban and rivaroxaban for the treatment of acute VTE. Apixaban reduces bleeding risk in the first 3 months by >50%! Practice changing investigator-initiated RCT. #ISTH2025

I have a horrible feeling that many vaccinated people will never fully recover their heart energy.
Do you know what I mean? That warm glow you used to get from heart to heart hugging of people, is diminished with some vaccinated people, to a brief flicker, much fainter life force? Energy healers, does anything work to heal this in your experience?

3 points on this because there's renewed interest in domestic production of vaccines in Canada in light of tariffs & general global health chaos: 1. Local production (globally) is needed for security of supply of some vaccines 2. Not all local production will be helpful 3. Choose products carefully

This is exactly the kind of medicine for which there is a strong argument for the role of a public manufacturer - market size is too small to sustain the interest of quality assured manufacturers in the private sector, leading to product shortages and uncertainty compromising patient care.

The bridge has a cable and steel structure, and the cityscape shows multiple high-rise buildings in the distance. The taxi is in motion, with a brownish-orange color, and the "Beck" logo is visible on its side. A person in a dark jacket can be seen walking in the background.A text passage discussing ride-hailing services in Canada, featuring quotes from Harrison Amit, CEO of Hovr, and Kristine Hubbard from Beck Taxi. The text focuses on supporting local transportation businesses and criticizing unregulated American companies like Uber and Lyft. The article suggests stopping reimbursements for rides with U.S.-based ride-hailing services and prioritizing domestic transportation options.
