the nyt does little more analysis than soup de jour



1.   the dr reads. here is one page and the accompanying social security number for easy access for more.096-12-1917, see ratner ej the lancet p 106 jan. 14, 1978 describing the cause and the treatment of causalgia by then federal employee.  the patient was mrs j edward spike jr and her personal physician was mark altschule of harvard. the operation described took place in boston. while the doctor likely sees few cases of causalgia, the one page supra is a useful subject for testing his tought procees, curiosity,  mental agility etc.

2 as to the references to anton scalia, it would be entirely more informative to presnt the dr with something of substance.  see for example pubmed.org ristori+ bcg, pubmed.org faustmsn dl, uspto.gov inventor search faustman. whether there was or was not an autopsy is of little moment or broad signifigance. an autopsy is simply one way thedead educate and improve the living.

Bridging the gap between vaccination with Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) and immunological tolerance: the cases of type 1 diabetes and multiple sclerosis.

Abstract

At the end of past century, when the prevailing view was that treatment of autoimmunity required immune suppression, experimental evidence suggested an approach of immune-stimulation such as with the BCG vaccine in type 1 diabetes (T1D) and multiple sclerosis (MS). Translating these basic studies into clinical trials, we showed the following: BCG harnessed the immune system to 'permanently' lower blood sugar, even in advanced T1D; BCG appeared to delay the disease progression in early MS; the effects were long-lasting (years after vaccination) in both diseases. The recently demonstrated capacity of BCG to boost glycolysis may explain both the improvement of metabolic indexes in T1D, and the more efficient generation of inducible regulatory T cells, which counteract the autoimmune attack and foster repair mechanisms.

Doctor to Congress and Supreme Court Toils to Sidestep Politics Amid Pandemic

Dr. Brian P. Monahan has found himself in the middle of politicized debates over how quickly to reopen the country and




who should be testing for Covid-19.

WASHINGTON — When Senator John Barrasso, Republican of Wyoming, sought guidance on how to protect his family, including his 94-year-old father-in-law, when he returned home from the nation’s capital amid the coronavirus pandemic, a doctor offered him some blunt advice.
Don’t go home just yet, Dr. Brian P. Monahan, the attending physician of Congress, told Mr. Barrasso, directing him to quarantine for 14 days before rejoining his family. “You’re a visitor,” Dr. Monahan said.
But when House Democratic leaders wanted counsel on whether they could safely reconvene in the Capitol with Covid-19 still spreading — a debate with political dimensions as a partisan divide was emerging across the country over how quickly to reopen — Dr. Monahan was less absolute. Returning to Washington carried health risks he would not recommend taking, he told Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California and Representative Steny H. Hoyer of Maryland, the majority leader. But it was up to them to decide what to do.
They opted to delay their return, and on Friday, partly because of Dr. Monahan’s warnings, moved forward with plans to institute remote voting in the future.
