He would like everyone to know that the universe is unjust and I am cruel. Because I said he could not have my steak. He is disappointed in my lack of empathy at his obvious signs of famine.

New USPSTF recs on osteoporosis. Now, as a handy #infographic. #Meded #MedComm
Screening for osteoporosis to prevent fractures, US preventative services Task force 2025 recommendation statement. Who should be screened women over 65 routine screening recommended with or without risk assessment grade B? Post menopausal women under 65 who are at risk. There is insufficient evidence to recommend screening in men. What screening is recommended Central d? X, a scan for bone density. Clinical risk assessment tools can predict Osteoporosis in women and predict certain fractures in women and men. Benefits of early detection and treatment are limited to women screening for fracture risk and treatment in women over 65 and postmenopausal women under 65, with risk factors provides moderate benefit for fracture prevention. Key takeaways, early screening prevents fracture and reduces healthcare burden. Focus on women aged sixty five and older and younger women.At risk, small horms from screening are outweighed by benefits

He does not like the new squirrel sweater. 0/10 stars. Does not recommend. Thinks he may prefer the head muff.

USPSTF draft for cervical cancer screening just released with BIG changes. #MedSky #IDSky

🔎 HPV vaginal swab every 5 years in ages 30-65 (cytology is alternate).

🔎 Cytology every 3 years in ages 21-29 only.

🔎 Patient-collected swabs approved.

www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org/uspstf/draft...
In women ages 21 to 65 years, the USPSTF recommends screening for cervical cancer every 3 years with cervical cytology alone in women ages 21 to 29 years and then every 5 years, with clinician or patient collected high risk, human papilloma virus HPV primary screening in women ages 30 to 65 years. As an alternative to HPV primary screening for women ages 30 to 65 years, the USPSTF recommends continued screening every 3 years, with cervical cytology alone or screening every 5 years with high risk hpv testing in combination with cytology cotesting. This recommendation has an A rating. This guidance is in progress.

Someone is not amused by his new head muff. Yes, he is also in a coat. It is 26 degrees with a windchill of 19. He was shivering. He may need boots. #bskydogs #dogs #dogsofbsky
