- An important message on naltrexone in patients with liver disease: ✅Naltrexone can help reduce alcohol use without harming the liver. 🚫Alcohol DOES harm the liver. We do not need any more barriers to treat patients with AUD➕ALD! @nejm.org @ebtapper.bsky.social www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

- In an epidemic of alcohol-use disorder, alcohol-associated liver disease, and cancers driven partially by 🥂🍸🍺, click-bait headlines like these are extremely harmful for population health. Let’s do better for our patients and public health. @theguardian.com @nytimes.com @cnn.com @washingtonpost.com
- So fun to meet online friends IRL!
- When did the hotel mini-bar get not-so-mini?! As an alcohol-associated liver disease focused hepatologist, this trend is very concerning!
- Alcohol use is pervasive. I’ve had conversations about how to prevent harmful drinking in teenagers and children (one study I did on an AUD population the average age of first drink was 11). Here is one idea (that can be applied to other habits)! What else can we do help reduce underage drinking?
- Most of what we see on the liver transplant wards are sick, young patients with alcohol-associated liver disease. We frequently see patients in their 20s and 30s, many who drank at “socially acceptable levels,” with severe liver disease resulting in either transplant or ☠️. #liversky
- As a clinician scientist who has devoted my life to improving health + advancing science, the last few months have been terrifying. I don't understand why the US doesn't want to continue leading in health + science Supporting medical science in the USA - The Lancet www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
- Not surprising, but these pronatalists are white supremacists, backed by tech money and now with a large voice. Who would want to bring children into their sick world? www.npr.org/2025/04/25/n...
- Reposted by Hanna Blaney, MD, MPHIt’s #WorldImmunizationWeek Vaccines have saved 154 million lives in the last 50 years. That’s 6 lives every minute. A reminder of what is #HumanlyPossible. Science saves lives. #VaccinesWork bit.ly/wiw2025
- Unsurprisingly, this administration misses the 🎯 on why many people don’t have more children: 💰(a one time $5k bonus isn’t enough) My PGY4, I spent more than my salary on childcare (and we had a very reasonably priced day care at the time for the area, ~$1300/m) www.nytimes.com/2025/04/21/u...

- Home *slightly* early on this gorgeous Friday afternoon for some light reading with my 12.3 lb besties on enteral feeding in hospitalized patients. @nejm.org This is the life! @GISky @liversky @medsky

- This trend is *very* concerning given that alcohol damages the liver of females at 2x the rate of males. We are seeing so many young females (20s and 30s) who get very sick and often die from🍸🍷🍻-associated liver disease! We need to work on strategies to 📉 alcohol use in this population! #liversky
- Past-month binge drinking among young adult females in 2021-2023 was higher than among males, reversing 2017-2019 patterns, whereas males in other age groups continued to binge and heavy drink at higher rates. ja.ma/42pf2V6 #MedSky
