    A major data breach at UK-based Biobank has exposed the medical records of around 500,000 volunteers on the Chinese e-commerce site Alibaba, putting sensitive information at risk of being misused. The compromised dataset, described as one of the world's most comprehensive biomedical datasets, was listed for sale, sparking urgent concerns about data security.

  38. Another light pollution/health study using the massive UK #BioBank dataset. “Our findings provide evidence that a higher #ALAN exposure is associated with an increased risk of incident [ulcerative colitis], with a significant dose-response relationship, but not with [Crohn’s disease]. Further studies are needed to elucidate the impact of outdoor ALAN on disease pathogenesis and outcomes.”

  43. Civilisation is often defined by what it chooses not to let disappear. At #Uzhhorod National #University, scientists have built a #biobank that advances #genomics and type 1 #diabetes #research, even as #war continues. It already supports #international research and teaching, and aims to represent the #genetic #diversity of #Ukraine where there was once a blank space on the map. But biology is unforgiving. Without reliable #electricity, years of work and thousands of samples simply thaw into loss. A large backup battery can keep this knowledge alive.

    So here is the plain question: would you like to support both Science AND Ukraine?

    If yes, please chip in to my friends’ fundraiser. Some things are worth keeping powered on. gofund.me/92339d478

  48. ⚠️ This implies that in survivors of mild COVID-19, which is most people, over 1 in 3 cases of new-onset dementia is due to COVID-19 ⚠️

    adults aged 50 years and older from the UK Biobank over a median observational period exceeding two years following COVID-19 infection

    compared with those in propensity-score-matched controls without COVID-19 and in individuals with non-COVID respiratory illnesses

    COVID-19 survivors had a higher likelihood of developing new-onset dementia compared to uninfected controls

    association between COVID-19 and all-cause dementia (adjusted Hazard Ratio: 1.58)

    The underlying pathophysiology likely involves prothrombotic, inflammatory, and microvascular dysfunction mechanisms, contributing to cerebral small vessel disease, blood-brain barrier disruption, and chronic cerebral hypoperfusion, ultimately leading to cognitive impairments and dementia
