  13. Bir üniversite mülkünde menenjit çıkması, 1 can kaybına ve 2 akut hastalığa yol açtı. Sağlık ekipleri hızlı bir şekilde tanı koydu, tedavi devam ediyor. Risk düşüyor, güvenlik önlemleri devam ediyor. Resmi kanallar en yeni bilgiler için takip edilmeli. #Meningitis #HealthNews

  14. A workshop of the MLTC Cross- #NIHR Collaboration programme suggests three challenge themes in #multimorbidity research #methodology:
    journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/

    Wired:
    Transparency, standardisation, reproducibility of multimorbidity research made the list!

    Tired:
    Bullet points in figure 1 have more detail on building methodological capacity than the text. Investing in methodologists (of any kind) is not part mentioned as far as I can see.

  22. Fascism 2023: Discussion: Individual cognitive disfunction and emotional coping mechanisms explain a lot of what goes on at Trump rallies and Alternatives for Germany and Golden Dawn events.

    In reply to @Maura_resister
    @project1enigma suggests that a disease model of global fascism trend denies "agency" of perps. W/O going into debate on freewill and determinism good point but OTOH #pandemic modeling can yield insights. Remember that #Darwin (not RichardDawkins) recognized that #memes or #ideas transmit subject to #naturalselection forces. Preventive medicine intervention models may be appropriate in planning prevention of epidemic spread; indeed epidemiological framework is an appealing approach to what is essential mass psychopathology.
