A new study suggests that, after having a specialized AI tool taken away, clinicians were less proficient at colonoscopies.

As AI spreads through health care, is the technology degrading providers’ skills?

Andrew Wakefield’s MMR studies were published in 1998 and 2002. Vaccine coverage dropped steeply in the early 2000s. They recovered pretty well over the subsequent 10 years. It would be interesting to understand what methods worked to achieve this, as they start to slip down again.

Has anybody given though how we‘ll work without NCBI/NLM, no PubMed, no anything that’s curated by the NIH? Are there mirror sites? Work arounds? Back ups? 😬

What mechanisms are there to safeguard integrity of the search function in PubMed under a RFK Jnr controlled DHHS? We’ve already witnessed how search functions elsewhere can be completely manipulated to reduce access to science for political reasons. Can we take pubmed search for granted? #Medsky

This is a very good question.
#Science family - do we have a backup for all NIH/NLM run repositories? Pubmed, OMIM etc? Will we all pay for Scopus? Does that run independently of NCBI?

Note for #Medsky newskies, Bsky doesn’t have blue checks, instead it lets you use a domain name as verification.

For example, if JAMA has a Bsky account, it can have the account handle jamanetwork . com and you’d know that it was the real JAMA because only they could have that domain.
How to set your domain as your handle - Bluesky
Using a domain as your handle helps with account identity, verification, and portability. Here's how to set your domain as your handle.
