Avoiding areas thought to be disease hotspots may actually make outbreaks worse if local case reporting is incomplete. New research involving #WorldPop scientists reveals how travel behaviour can distort health data and hide disease risks, especially in rural areas. Better local reporting could save lives.

Hemodialysis patients with blood type A exhibit significantly lower risks of both all-cause and cardiovascular mortality compared to those with other blood types. This finding directly contrasts with the general population, where blood type O is typically associated with the lowest risk of cardiovascular disease.

Hey so I nearly flunked bio-stats and epidemiology in college and I don't have the programs necessary to open these files. Would anyone be able to take the data on this on this page, run it, and see if there's actual statistical significance in the data that would back up the claims in this guy's substack article? Can't find anything in the visualized data either.

🗺 New research maps neighbourhood-level #COVID19 spread across Dakar, #Senegal revealing that infection risk is driven by the concentration of people within built-up residential areas - not population density alone.

🏥 The approach could also help tackle diseases such as malaria and tuberculosis across Africa.

Cochliomyia hominivorax (the New World screwworm) is an obligate parasitic blowfly whose larvae require living tissue from a warm-blooded host to complete their developmental cycle, resulting in a severe, rapidly destructive condition known as myiasis.

Ebola (Orthoebolavirus zairense) is a highly sophisticated filovirus that relies on complex molecular evasion, the exploitation of immune-privileged sanctuaries, and the induction of societal disruption to ensure its survival and propagation, challenging its traditional, simplified classification as merely an agent of acute hemorrhagic fever.

Zoonotic spillover is the successful transmission of a pathogenic entity—such as a virus, bacterium, or parasite—from a non-human animal reservoir into a human population. This rare but consequential event occurs when a pathogen successfully crosses the strict biological boundary between species.

Consumer Reports found that several brands of ground cinnamon contain #lead . It begs the question of: what about other ground spices? Many places around the world don't follow good food safety standards. They're not tested at the border when imported. A great project for someone with the equipment would be to test various spices from various places. Maybe other common contaminants too. It would be a great study. Let me know if you do -- happy to write about it.
And, what about spices in #Canada? Many come from the same sources.
ADDENDUM: Another thought. Maybe some of those long-term, large population studies could test for lead, etc. in some of the blood samples they collect. Could be a good indicator.

Von Foerster equation (Ecology 🏞️)

The McKendrick–von Foerster equation is a linear first-order partial differential equation encountered in several areas of mathematical biology – for example, demography and cell proliferation modeling; it is applied when age structure is an important feature in the mathematical model. It was first presented by Anderso...
