I probably drink too much coffee and should cut down but this brand of confirmation bias works for me so.... 😄. Pro Coffee propaganda is the best. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Morning coffee may lower risk of heart disease-related death, research suggests

The study did not say why coffee in the morning reduces the risk and whether it was the sole cause.

Chronic Hepatitis B Management in Immunosuppressed Patients: Hepatitis B screening and prophylaxis are critical for patients starting immunosuppressive therapy, but guidelines vary. Hepatology recommendations (e.g., AASLD) often advocate for broader prophylaxis compared to the ACR 2021 guidelines.
