News article in BMJ about tiredness in doctors following a survey by Medical Defence Union
Being awake for > 18 hours can the same effect on decision making as being x2 over the UK alcohol limit
Thanks for asking me to comment & quoting our BMJ article on fatigue in NHS staff

The @novonordiskfond - which makes money from obesity drugs - is holding a meeting with food industry funded scientists to 'redefine' an unhealthy diet. This is bad for public health and more than 80 of the world's leading independent food scientists are calling for a boycott. 🧵

"Current medical education has an overt biomedical focus that does not engage enough on wider social determinants of health."
Medical education fit for the future requires radical change

70% of people with atraumatic rotator cuff tears are successfully treated with physiotherapy- results of a large 10-year cohort study. Low Expectations for PT, workers comp and low physical activity are predictors of those opting for surgery tinyurl.com/4kxh5eex

I now spend more time with OA knee patients talking about metabolic health than painkillers.
Semaglutide Benefits in People With Obesity & Knee Osteoarthritis🦵
1️⃣ Knee osteoarthritis is the most common form, causing chronic pain, reduced mobility, disability, & lower quality of life🦵.
2️⃣ Obesity is a major risk factor for knee osteoarthritis, due to increased joint stress, metabolic issues, & inflammation .
3️⃣ In the STEP 9 trial, 407 participants with obesity & knee osteoarthritis pain were randomly assigned to receive 2.4-mg semaglutide 💉or placebo, alongside lifestyle changes🏃♂️🍎, to reduce weight and pain🦵.
4️⃣ The results showed a mean body weight change of −13.7% with semaglutide 💉vs −3.2% with placebo, & a mean WOMAC pain score change of −41.7 points with semaglutide🦵vs −27.5 points with placebo.
5️⃣ The trial didn’t explore semaglutide’s mechanism, but weight loss likely reduces knee stress. GLP-1 agonists may also have anti-inflammatory & joint-protective effects.
Conclusion: This trial showed that semaglutide 💉 reduced knee osteoarthritis pain🦵in people with obesity. It supports using 2.4 mg once-weekly for weight management & pain relief.
