Idyllic rural NSW is a hotspot for motor neurone disease
"Our recent mortality paper shows that if you live in rural and regional Australia, you are 40 per cent more likely to die from motor neurone disease. This cannot be genetic."
"Much attention will be focused on MND hotspots which include regional centres such as Griffith, Leeton, Wagga Wagga and Narrandera in the Riverina where rates of the degenerative illness are estimated to be five to seven times the national average. Other areas of concern include Tamworth, Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie." >>

Toxoplasmosis is a widespread parasitic infection caused by Toxoplasma gondii, which affects approximately one-third of the global population and can cause severe ocular and neurological damage.

Advocate & vote for better conditions for working, parenting & disability.
Join or start a union at your work. You need no-fault sick leave, esp when local infections break out.
Do managers want:
Only ONE person this week out sick?

Also wear masks or respirators. (Except the snood type ones. The rest are all better than nothing or *way* better than nothing.) Don't travel or commute to work when ill.
Advocate and vote for better conditions when working, parenting, and disabled. Join a union or start one at your workplace. Push for no-fault sick leave, especially when local infectious outbreaks flare up.
Check what air filtration systems are installed where people gather, mainly indoor spaces. Consider public transport, at work, schools, public buildings, and manufacturing. Ask some organisations what their air quality data and upgrade plans are.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZncfH7nKX74

There is currently much interest in the role of Artifical Intelligence (AI) in medicine, particularly in specialties involving visualization such as upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, which is important in screening and diagnosis of esophageal and gastric cancer. This report provides a readable summary of the approach and recent results of its clinical application in detecting malignant and premalignant lesions.

This unusual review involves a qualitative analysis of professionals' views on the justification for systematic screening for esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), a topic of some controversy. Professionals are increasingly supportive of targeted screening (as opposed to population screening), driven by the introduction of less invasive screening methods and the potential for effective treatment of detected neoplasia.

This study combines questionnaire data and automated cytological evaluation of sponge-collected cells to accurately identify high-risk individuals without the need for endoscopy. It uses machine learning to identify abnormal cells and create automated risk scores that are equivalent to those of experienced cytologists. This approach could potentially reduce the number of endoscopies needed to screen the population by around 90%.

Radio frequency ablation (RFA) has become a standard of care for persons with advanced dysplasia in Barrett's, but little is known regarding the occurrence and predictors of post-procedure symptoms. This study found that RFA treatment caused considerable post-procedural symptoms of significant duration in the vast majority of patients, with almost all patients experiencing pain and dysphagia after the procedure.

The incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma rose rapidly for over 40 years before leveling off after the turn of the century. The highest incidence is in white males, who experienced a 10-fold increase. Recent data from NCI's SEER registry system suggest that rates may be starting to climb again in this demographic group.
