A quote is displayed on a light background. The text reads: "For me, this journey is about more than just finishing a race. It’s also about education, about raising awareness of the many rare diseases out there that too often go unnoticed, misunderstood, or undiagnosed for years." Below the quote, it says "Bruce Campbell, Pompe Contributor." To the left, there is a circular image showing a person sitting on a bench outdoors.

🚵‍♂️ Racing the Absa Cape Epic - "the Tour de France" of mountain biking - is tough. Living with #PompeDisease and competing? Even tougher.

Bruce Campbell faced this challenge while also raising awareness for #RareDiseases.

BJS Academy Official portrait of President Cleveland by Eastman Johnson (1824-1906) in 1891. Grover Cleveland was the twenty-second president (March 4, 1885 – March 4, 1889) and the twenty-fourth president…

A hidden tumour.
A secret yacht.
A president fighting for political survival.

In 1893, Grover Cleveland underwent a daring and covert operation to remove a suspected cancer—without the public ever knowing.

This is where surgery meets history.

Rural Palliative Care isn't urban care in a smaller town. It's "MacGyver medicine" — champions cobbling care together with what exists. We dig into equity, telehealth, AI, and dying close to home. #medsky

Severe Illness Associated with Eating Mushroom... This report describes severe illness associated with eating mushroom-containing chocolate products.

CDC's new MMWR report on Diamond Shruumz, the micro-dosing, toxic candy recalled in 2024. Of 180 cases, 73 people hospitalized, including 38 who required intensive care, 29 who required intubation, and two deaths. Agency says that's likely an underestimate.

Patients Are Using Chatbots to Fight Medical Bills, With Mixed Results While chatbots like Claude and ChatGPT can help narrow the information divide between patients and providers, they can also dispense flawed advice.

Patients have turned to LLMs in their battle against medical billing. Success stories like a $22,604 waived bill are heralded as big wins, but LLMs can also misinterpret laws and aren't HIPAA protected. It’s an appealing way to narrow the gap, but it isn't exactly risk-free.

A quote on a blue background reads: "Much of an AATD patient’s life is spent pushing forward when things don’t feel right. I’ve experienced this not just when exercising, but when getting treatment. It’s hard to feel heard when my condition is so obscure." The quote is attributed to Alyssa Gloor, an AATD contributor. There is a circular image of a person in the bottom right corner.

Structured EHR data remains the stronghold of specialized models when there is ample training data. But in data-scarce settings, especially for rare diseases or new outbreaks, advanced LLMs show potent zero-shot capabilities. They often beat conventional models when local data is sparse.

The era of laboriously finetuning BERT models for clinical notes might be over. A new benchmark, ClinicRealm, shows leading zero-shot LLMs like GPT-5 now beat specialized models in predicting mortality. This would be a shift in how we use patient data in predictive analytics.
