Eine neue Studie von Prof. Untersmayr & Team. Mastzellenaktivierung zeigte sich hier bei ~25% der Menschen mit ME/CFS, verbunden mit vermehrtem Vorkommen von POTS. Das hat therapeutische Relevanz, da ein Ansprechen auf Antihistaminika gegeben war. mdpi.com/2075-4418/15/22/282…

Who is this mysterious woman behind the mask? Masquerade Gala for CASA is always a fun celebration. Thanks to my hubby, who is on the board, and works tirelessly to help them meet their mission to help kids who need it most.

We've just launched the first large, site-less (home, direct to participant) randomized trial for treatment of #LongCovid, testing tirzepatide (a GLP-1 drug) vs placebo. Please help spread the word scripps.edu/news-and-events/…
I was a little star struck! Great to meet you @DrHowardLiu
Thrilled to meet @MVGutierrezMD IRL at #AAMC25! It takes courage to be a chair who leads with vision, integrity, science and humanism 👩‍⚕️ Dr Gutierrez is a reminder that we can rise while lifting others up! 🪜 And a voice of hope for those recovering from long COVID 🌱

New #LongCovid clinical trial launched!! Really excited about this for a bunch of reasons: a) it's fully remote (you can do it at home!) b) it's large (1000 participants!) c) it's accessible to the most severe (even those who can't verbally speak) longcovid.scripps.edu/locitt… 1/

⏰ 21 Hours Left to Enroll in #LongCOVID Wellness Study ⏰ 🦸 Make #LongCovid History 💪 👀 When have you last heard of a clinical trial with well over 700 enrollees in 4 weeks??? 🧑‍🔬 "We are Making Science Move at the Speed of TRUST" 🔬 ✅ Have you enrolled in this historic #LongCOVID "Wellness Study" where you receive a free Fitbit a 50% chance at a free Truvaga and everyone gets a $100 gift card? 🤯 🏡 The study is only 4 weeks long 📅 and totally REMOTE. (Yes, you can do it from your couch 🛋️ lol) This study is a win-win!!! ENROLL ASAP and encourage everyone you know who still has any COVID symptom that's lasted for at least three months to do the same! 🔥 We are flipping the script on true Citizen-Scientist Collaboration and demanding that science move faster, more efficiently, less expensively and more beneficial to those who can't wait, suffering on the sidelines, anymore! 👩‍🔬 Welcome to Clinical Trials 2.0 - where patients ensure that the needle moves in their direction. ⚖️ 🚨 Enrollment closes at NOON TOMORROW 🚨 20 Hours Left to Enroll... LFG!!!! ** Please complete your onboarding survey in one sitting so as to not get kicked out *** Please write down your Participation Number AND **** The study was shortened from 8 weeks to 4 weeks which required @everyone who originally consented (through last week) to re-consent. It is SO important that you re-consent as you will not be considered enrolled otherwise! We don't want to leave a single voice behind!!! 💪❤️💪 rvuresearch.gov1.qualtrics.c…

⚠️ Disparities by race, sex, insurance, and geography worsen outcomes. Rehab is not optional… it’s essential. Let’s close the gap. #StrokeRecovery #StrokeRehab #Physiatry #Spasticity

🧠 Today is #WorldStrokeDay Stroke rehab saves lives—but too many survivors aren’t getting the care they need. 📉 In the U.S.: • 60% don’t receive adequate rehab • Only 20% go to inpatient rehab • 35% get no PT, 49% no OT, 62% no speech therapy

“PM&R is the steward of subtle.” Dr. @cbivanhoe’s words at #AAPMR2025 captured what we do so well: noticing the nuanced shifts, the quiet recoveries, and the progress that hides in the gray zones. Recovery isn’t always loud, but it’s always meaningful. #Physiatry
