Re: @openevidence.bsky.social #PubMedAI
📭OpenEvidence outperforms pubmed.ai by delivering concise, clinically focused summaries
✏️Clinicians should use these tools as adjuncts to, not replacements for, clinical expertise and comprehensive resources like UpToDate.

Here's a better view into the searching and those GL papers. Thanks for the question. Before we complete the manuscript, these numbers have to be updated as new papers have been published.

The Greeks had many types of love, eg:

. Philautia, self-love
. Storge, family love
. Ludus, playful love
. Eros, sexual passion
Even if you are feeling alone today, you are definitely still loved. #Valentinesday2025
