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.

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." >>

This multinational study describes the development and validation of a diagnostic tool (EMERALD) -- a miRNA panel designed to differentiate persons with (or at risk of) #esophageal adenocarcinoma, from non-disease controls. The diagnostic potential of the panel was assessed using #machineLearning models. The findings suggest that it could serve as a #liquidBiopsy and facilitate screening in high-risk persons.

A map showing how cancer, renal disease and malformation mortality has spread in the Atoyac-Zahuapan basin. This area is heavily industrialized and factories dump their waste directly to the river. As seen in the map, mortality concentrates closer to the river. Over 80% of the population lives within 3 km of rivers. #criticalgeography #epidemiology #pollution link: https://doi.org/10.17613/8j4v-4130 @geography

Who are the #epidemiologists and infectious disease #modellers on Mastodon?
Will update this list as I come across them & if you “favourite” or “boost” this toot you will be updated every time there is an addition.
This helps create an “Epidemiology/Modellers” list on mastodon to browse their focused stream.
List so far:

#Introduction #Einleitung I've just moved from mastodon.social. I'm a professor of speech, language, and hearing science and #linguistics at Purdue U in the USA. I am interested in how #hearing loss and #noise affect long-term health, especially balance, listening effort, stress, etc. Also lots of other things, incl. #psychophysiology, #epidemiology, research methods (#Rstats, visualization) and #OpenScience. I speak English & German pretty well.
