Mulling over something right now.

My journey into understanding neurodivergence and my own AuDHD-ness has changed how I doctor, and sometimes I can see this when looking at things like auto text scripts I set up previously.

For example, when it comes to picky eaters, I used to do a lot of education about how to get kids to eat, discussing strategies like gamifying intake of fruits and vegetables, enforcing #-bite rules, and having cutoff times for meals. I also put a lot more weight on having a balanced, whole-food meal. The only thing I discussed that was focused on any underlying reason was involving kids in meal prep, though I didn't necessarily have a reason as to why. And, to be fair, these strategies work for picky, NT toddlers.

Contrast that to today, where I'm asking questions about texture sensitivities and taste preferences. I'm acknowledging that processed foods are more predictable than fresh. I'm discussing meal prep involvement as a means of sensory food play. I'm discussing about how stressful #-bite requirements can be and I'm encouraging having safe foods available and permissable - not as a means of giving in, but to make trying a new food less stressful. I'm also acknowledging that some food is better than no food, as long as we get the basics/macros in as we can always supplement micros with multivitamins.

These are things that weren't taught when I was in medical school or residency. I attended in 2015, just after the DSM changes and the focus then was, and largely still is, eating a "well-rounded", normativized, white, upper-middle class diet. Anything other than that was treated as subpar and is bad medicine, let alone parenting.

You know the other thing? When I started asking, do you know how many of my picky eaters DIDN'T have some kind of sensory basis to their eating patterns? Do you know just how many undiagnosed, unseen neurodivergent kids are out there, masking along, not making waves, with equally ND parents who don't know otherwise?

The number of times I see at least one parent squirm when I start asking the kids, especially older kids, autism symptom questions and autism distinct anxiety questions... Why, if I had a nickel for every time, I would definitely have more than two. It's not a coincidence.

Scientists from the University of California San Diego School of Medicine and Rady Children’s Institute for Genomic Medicine have developed a method for identifying mosaic mutations using deep learning. The process involves training a model to analyze large amounts of genomic data and recognize patterns associated with mosaic mutations. The researchers hope that this approach will help increase our understanding of the genetic basis of disease and lead to the development of more effective treatments.

Genetic mutations can lead to a wide range of disorders that are often difficult to treat or understand. One type of mutation, called mosaic mutations, is particularly challenging to identify because it only affects a small percentage of cells. These mutations can cause a variety of disorders but have been challenging to detect due to their rarity.

🏈 Super ‘Bowel’ Sunday LVII💩

This football-shaped egg is the spawn of the female whip worm Trichuris trichiura.

They can be found in water contaminated by feces or in delicious half-time hotdogs 🌭 handled by unsanitary fingers. Once ingested it makes its way into your intestines and after about 3 months will hatch into a worm.

Once mature, the worm burrows her head and mouth parts into the delicate and comfortable mucosa of your intestines to feed. It is here that she will trigger an inflammatory response and causes bouts of abdominal pain with plenty of (sometimes bloody) diarrhea. A disease called trichuriasis.

While she is feeding she dangles her vulva into the lumen of your intestine and has sex with as many nearby male worms as possible.

Our little parasite now becomes a momma and starts firing out somewhere between 2,000-10,000 of these little eggs…

Per day!

This life of feeding and egg-laying, if left untreated, can last for the lifespan of a roundworm which can be around 5 years… that’s a very busy worm and lots of eggs.

All those eggs get flushed out of your body with your bloody diarrhea and, depending on where you live, ‘touchdown’ in the local water supply or back on that hotdog ready to be ingested once again and the whole process starts over.

Pancreatic Cancer and Drug Resistance: Researchers Identify Key Metabolic Regulators

Drug resistance can be countered only by interrupting the adaptive measures taken by the cells to deflect the drug action. Scientists from the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Buffalo, performed an extensive study through proteomic analysis that identified key regulators driving the resistance against Gemcitabine, the principal chemotherapeutic against Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma. The study also mentions viable pathways and protein targets onto which therapeutic efforts could be directed to better improve the drug efficacy.

Gemcitabine, first marketed under the brand name Gemzar by Eli Lilly, is an antimetabolite capable of retarding tumor progression and promoting apoptosis by inhibiting DNA synthesis. On its uptake into the tumor cell, the compound is phosphorylated to form gemcitabine monophosphate, which acts as the precursor for its diphosphate and triphosphate forms. The diphosphate interacts and inhibits the ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) complex that maintains the nucleotide levels within the cell, while the triphosphate is a structural analog of deoxycytidine triphosphate(dCTP) and masquerades around as dCTP on its synthesis. In a nucleotide deficient state caused by gemcitabine diphosphate, it competes with dCTP for incorporation into the elongating DNA strand. On achieving this, it causes chain termination, ultimately dismantling the DNA synthesis machinery of the cell.
