A bit of positive news today. FDA has just approved Lenacapavir for PrEP in the US. In clinical trials one injection every 6 months was close to 100% effective in preventing HIV transmission.
PrEP is for everyone who needs it.

Great read. Medical students have to first come out as pathologists to their faculty physicians (you’re so great with people, why??) and then subsequently come out to our own as future forensic pathologists (perceived less prestigious government job)

What’s Wrong with Forensics?
Is stigma harming recruitment in forensic pathology? Pathologists and medical students share their experiences

Sickle cell trait ≠ Sickle cell disease
Sickle cell trait (SCT) has been used inappropriately in cause of death, specifically in deaths in custody
Forensic pathologists and autopsy pathologists must work/advocate to refute SCT as mechanistic rationale

🚨 No evidence links #sicklecell trait to sudden death or acute pain crises. It is medically inaccurate to claim SCT as a cause of death on an autopsy report.

Ever wonder what 'clock face' chromatin looks like? Look for blotchy, dark areas around a nucleus.
This feature, along with eccentric nuclei and paranuclear hof (pale area near the nucleus), are essential for identifying plasma cells in blood films, aspirate, and histologic samples.

Urine drug screens are some of the most inaccurate tests in medicine, that even healthcare professionals frequently misinterpret or just don’t understand.
Yet we let nonmedical/nonscientific people in politics and law enforcement use them to punish people and even take children from their mothers.
