Nonprofit hospitals pay their CEOs generously, and their compensation keeps getting larger. Some researchers wonder if the ballooning paychecks align with whatâs best for patients and taxpayers.

Mashup Score: 7Race adjustments in clinical algorithms can help correct for racial disparities in data quality | PNAS - 7 month(s) ago
Despite ethical and historical arguments for removing race from clinical algorithms, the consequences of removal remain unclear. Here, we highlight…

Smart group. Thoughtful writing. Well intentioned. But off the mark. The solution to racial disparities in healthcare will never be race-adjusted models because such an approach is inherently complicit. https://t.co/IFYaf6mUx6

Mashup Score: 1Vision language models are blind - 8 month(s) ago
Large language models with vision capabilities (VLMs), e.g., GPT-4o and Gemini 1.5 Pro are powering countless image-text applications and scoring high on many vision-understanding benchmarks. Yet,…

LLMs look incredible during staged demonstrations. But so much of what impresses us is an illusion. LLMs do not "understand" language. Likewise, new LLM with visual capabilities (eg GPT-4o) do not "understand" visual input. https://t.co/avM55txt8y

Second, LDL-C and corrected LDL-C are nearly perfectly correlated! For most population analyses, using LDL-C or corrected LDL-C won't make a difference. https://t.co/1HwFhc8Pwg https://t.co/bAoPti9Sak

Mashup Score: 3Novel method for quantification of lipoprotein(a)-cholesterol: implications for improving accuracy of LDL-C measurements - 8 month(s) ago
Current methods for determining âLDL-Câ in clinical practice measure the cholesterol content of both LDL and lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)-C]. We developed a high-throughput, sensitive, and rapid method to quantitate Lp(a)-C and improve the accuracy of LDL-C by subtracting for Lp(a)-C (LDL-Ccorr). Lp(a)-C is determined following isolation of the Lp(a) on magnetic beads linked to monoclonal antibody LPA4 recognizing apolipoprotein(a). This Lp(a)-C assay does not detect cholesterol in plasma samples lacking Lp(a) and is linear up to 747Â nM Lp(a).

First off, the commonly used methods of estimating Lp(a)-C are likely inaccurate. https://t.co/Vk93gcPZxv
