Ist bei euch ein offener Funk inklusive Leitstelle üblich oder ist ein Direktfunk mit anderen Rettungsmitteln und/oder mit der Leitstelle die Regel?

Are you using 0.9% NaCl or balanced salt solutions such as Lactated Ringer's or Plasmalyte to resuscitate your patients with DKA? This paper suggests that we should be using the latter. 🎩 tip to the authors.

Nur in 2 Bundesländern (Wien, NÖ) macht man sich echte strategishe Gedanken über die Notfalllandshaft. In allen anderen ist es meist ein regionales, föderalistisches System, das sich nicht ändert.

Ein dreijähriges Kind stirbt, u.a. wohl weil der Notarzt viel zu spät kommt.

20 Minuten bis zum Rettungswagen, fast 30 Minuten bis zum Notarzt. Kein Rettungshubschrauber. Kein System, das im Notfall schützt.

So geschehen in Rheinland-Pfalz.

Sehr lesenswerter 🧵 vin @janoschdahmenmdb.de ⬇️.
Aus akademischer Perspektive würde ich "was fehlt" noch ergänzen um :
💠 strategische Stützpunktplatzierung (gibt's sehr gute Simulationen zu).
💠 Umsetzung des NotSan Gesetzes ohne weitgehende lokale Kastration

Toxicologist here! Not a dentist but I treat fluoride toxicity, & it has never been from a dental product. National data reflects this.

Saying fluoride “causes gut harms” is a lie. Ingesting ANYTHING can affect gut microbiota, including dinner! That is not a health outcome let alone a negative one

The agency is taking steps to remove prescription fluoride products that children swallow. But researchers who study fluoride say it's not harmful and some kids need the treatments.
FDA alleges fluoride supplements cause gut harms. Scientists aren't convinced

Here’s what RFK Jr. has done since a measles outbreak began which has killed 3 people so far:

1. Buried a CDC report showing need for vaccination

2. Recommended vitamin A, resulting in liver damage in kids

3. Defunded vaccination clinics nationally

4. Hired a fraud to manipulate vaccine data

We have a vaccine that literally prevents you from getting WARTS all over your genitals and inside your butt and everywhere on your body, and people are like, “no thanks; I’d rather be WARTY.” (Plus, it also prevents multiple forms of cancer.)
These are hard to interpret but I wonder if this is HPV vaccine in action.

2006 was initial approval for girls than 2009 for boys. I think the first version HPV-4 had the wart serotypes and the 9 just added more cancer associated strains.
